Hi,

I entered the U.S. on Monday on a K-1 visa and want to get started on the AOS paperwork if I can, as-well-as advanced parole for our honeymoon...

Where do I start, the process all seems so confusing again lol. :P

Do I wait till after our marriage to apply for AOS?..or can I apply for both the AOS and the AP at the same time?... :wacko:

Thank you :luv:

You apply for AOS and AP at the same time - but you can only apply for both of those after your wedding.

Here is the VJ guide http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos

You definitely need to be married before you can do ANYTHING else, but I've only been here a day longer, so I haven't really gotten started myself either.

ETA: Except getting a SSN.. I think you can get that soon.

Unless you're planning on taking your honeymoon a few months are your wedding, you unfortunately, won't have AP in time.

You can get your SSN about 2 weeks after you enter the US; so do that. Do it several weeks before you I-94 expires.

Happy wedding!

:thumbs: OK, so it looks like just the SS# is next on my to-do list for now.

No honeymoon for the place and date we had hoped :( . Oh well, nothing has gone according to plan in this whole process, so why would anything change now lol.

Thanks all for the usual speedy responses :D

P.S. lmao @ the "pay more money" comment, it's endless..im glad we've planted a new money tree... :whistle: ...sighhh

You can certainly get all the paperwork together and fill in as much as you can, so that after your marriage you have as little to do as possible: maybe just add in the marriage certificate and sign a few things, before mailing everything off :-)
