Adjustment of Status and employment authorization

[USA Olive 0]

Oops! We paid our Visa fees and AOS fees and realized that we were supposed to contact the NVC first before paying any fees to apply for an Adjustment of Status. I understand we need to wait until after we arrive in the U.S. to apply for an adjustment of status? Is that correct and how long will all that take?

Do we need to have the Adjustment of Status before my husband can look for employment and when can we submit the I-765 for Employment Authorization?

Your timelime shows that you paid the Affidavit of Support fee and not an Adjustment of Status fee. There is no reason for you to file for Adjustment of Status.

re-read the guide for CR1. It appears you are confusing K1 with CR1.
