forget about ID until AFTER you have filed the Adjustment of Status paperwork.

That's just my opinion, though.

Hello Mae,

You better first get a legal status in the US before worrying if you can get an ID or no.

On which visa did you last enter the US? When did your visa expire? When did you overstayed? Do you intent to live in the US?

IF you married within 90 days of arrival, the normal Adjustment of Status suits your exact situation.

IF you married after 90 days of arrival, must file I-130 + I-485 plus the other forms and a new medical thingie.

so, tell us more? or fill out your profile completely, over at http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=118418

hey Mae - just studied your prior posts.

I am assuming you got married after the 90 days , past arriving in usa.

AFTER 90 days, on a K-1 ? must use this guide for filing:

BEFORE 90 days, must use this guide for filing:

thank you..:..that helps

You said you just got married, so do you mean that you didn't get married during the 90 days after your entry with the K-1?

Can you give us more info with the dates so we can figure everything out and help you at our best?

- when was your K-1 visa issued? what is the expiration date on it?

- when did you enter the US with it?

- when did you get married?

EDIT: you guys were faster than me to type.

Mae, you are asking about ID, but I think you are meaning greencard, instead.

Thanks. Your visa was a single-entry visa so it expired the day you used it. They must have stapled a white paper in your passport (known as I-94), with a stamp on it. The date on the stamp should be 90 days after your date of entry, which should be sometimes in February 2012. You overstayed starting on the date on that stamp.

Follow the VJ guide that Darnell gave you. You need to file for I-130 (your US spouse does it), I-485 and I-765 if you want to work while your I-485 is being processed. Do not file for I-131 which is a temporary travel authorization. You overstayed for more than 180 days so it would be risky for you to travel before getting your green card.

Mae, visa expiration not important, for a K-1.

what mattered was marriage inside the 90 days past the POE date.

You not do that.

is ok, just a different set of docs to file, to get a greencard.
