I-485

[Big Boss 0]

Hi,

This is my 1st post in this forum...I have graduated from the K-1 forum!!! I'm so happy to make this far!!!

My fiance will be getting her interview soon, so we wanted to start planning for the next step.

Please correct me if I am wrong....

She comes here once the Greece embassy grants her the okay..

we get married.... :-)

we filed I-485

Do we need to fill anything else? Is the I-485 all we need? What papers are needed for it?

Do we send it to VSC (like our K-1)?

Thank you very much!!!!

Best of luck to every1!!!

Thank u so much...that a great guide!!

We want to file our AOS and then file travel documents, so we can get married in Greece. We were planning for Christmas time...is that not realistic? I looked at the processing times and it looks like Travel Documents are taking 4 months now....could tha be due to delays caysed by IMBRA?

Thanks again

In order to apply for AOS and AP (travel document) you must already be married, and since your fiancee can't travel outside of the U.S. until she has AP or a green card, you will have to be married before traveling to Greece.

This could be a Greek ceremonial marriage for the relatives in Greece because if you read the OP's post, he clearly states..."we get married.... :-)"

OP original question is still valid if civic ceremony is performed in US. Some people prefer to register their marriage with civic service and then follow up with religious ceremony.

Anyways, the point is still valid - upon entry with K1 you must get married within 90 days. Then you can apply for AOS (i-485) and travel document (i-131)

Not to rain on your parade but getting an AP before Christmas might be very difficult ... You fiancee still has to have her interview in Greece, move to US, get married then apply for AOS/EAD/AP ...

My AOS/EAD NOA1s are dated August 31 and I will be lucky if I get my EAD by the end of November ...

Hi,

Sorry for the confusion.

We will have a civil marriage here and have a wedding party there.

Before i apply for travel documents..I need to receive a notice that my AOS has been received....correct? How long does that take?

Once I get that I can file for Travel Documents....correct? How long des that take?

Any way to speed this up? I read something about emergancy situations?? Is a wedding party ...emergency?? :-)

Thanks and sorry if these question sound silly

You can send the I-485 and the I-131 (AP) concurrently.

A wedding would not qualify as an emergency.

[Kez/JWolf 6]

You can file for the AP at the same time as your AOS... you do not need to wait.

There is no way to speed it up..sorry An emergancy AP is only available if you have to travel as a result of the death or serious illness of a close family member..

Thank you very much!!!

So basicly I can send I130, I485 & I765 together?

When can we aply for SSN and work permit?

Edited September 13, 2006 by Big Boss

[Jenn! 918]

The I-765 is the application for your EAD (work permit), and yes, all three forms can be sent together. And it's the I-485, I-765, and I-131 you want to send, NOT the I-130.

I think, but am not sure, that you can apply for your SSN as long as your I-94 is still valid. My husband applied for his first thing upon arrival in the U.S.

The guide says something about I-864....there are two on USCIS...I-864 and I-864EZ

Funny "EZ" is longer.....which do i use

Where/When do I get I-94?

The I-864 is an Affadavit of Support... some people have had problems wtih filing of the I-1864 EZ. I would recommend the I-864 since the EZ version is so new...

The I-94 will be part of your fiancee's passport documentation when she arrives.

I would not count on being able to travel outside the US for at least 6 months...
