Do I get a new I-94 once I file for AOS

[photomile 101]

As title guys and gals. Once I get my application in for AOS, I know I get a notice of action, however I have no idea if I get a new or extended I-94.

Mine currently expires in 90 days. The main reason that I ask is because we are having some trouble with an apartment and getting a lease done in joint name.

Thanks

you won't get a new I-94. The notice of action shows that you are legally staying in the country.

you don't get a new I-94 (except a replacement if you lost one) !! Keep the one you have safely and get ya self down to SSA office in 2 weeks so the lads can get you a social security card. Good luck wiv the rest of ya journey

You will be in K1 limbo, as I call it, for a period of time. Your I-94 will be expired, but there is no document that you can show anybody that says in plain English your stay has been extended because it hasn't been. You have a receipt for filing AOS, but it doesn't provide any written date of extension that the average cop or apartment owner would know allows you to remain until an AOS decision is made, even though you are basically overstaying your only document (I-94) that shows your time allowed in the US. Once you get EAD, it will have a 1 year expiration date on it, so that gives you something to show that you're legal for at least a year.

Yes, get a SSN 10-14 days after POE using your I-94 and passport. You don't have to be married to get a SSN. Look in the guides page for a link to the details.
