My Full Story

[Kubey Jr. 0]

I also married in Texas. No witnesses are required. Only the officiant has a place to sign the license giving date and time and his title I believe. Date and time are required because it can't be sooner than 72 hours from the license issue or more than 30 days from issue. A judge can waive the 72 hour requirement.

Adjustment of Status is starting all over. You got your visa in London under the Dept of State. Everything you did so far was just to get a visa. That's done. It is over and the visa became invalid the day you used it to enter the US.

Now you will go back to USCIS to apply for a greencard. New forms, new rules, new people looking it over, some repeat of things already sent but the new people aren't going to dig through your old file to find a birth certificate for example. There is a new Affidavit of Support (I-864) so getting back the London I-134 would be useless.

Now the London specific things are over, so you will use this forum to ask questions http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/7-adjustment-of-status-green-card-from-family-based-visas/ because all K1s adjusting status do the same forms.

If you back up in this thread to post 27, I gave you a link to my list of what is sent for AOS. Bookmark it and print it as a guide so you don't leave anything out.

Ask your questions about the forms in the Adjustment of Status forum http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/7-adjustment-of-status-green-card-from-family-based-visas/

thank you that is actually incredibly usefull....my brain is just.....well....i'd completely forgotten about that highly useful page even though i had printed it out and put it into a a folder called adjustment of status....its a lifesaver.....right i think i'm a bit more on track now.....many many thanks.

just one....and maybe slightly odd question.......i'm printing out some forms here on a ink jet printer.....and while the text is readable....its not the quality i would like....i'd really like a laser printer like i have in Scotland with toner.........the text is ok-ish on highest setting...but disappointing.....its readable though.....is this something that i should be concerned about?.....my other half says to just do it on the ink jet.....ok well.....pen seems to be acting up too....possibly to do with the heat.

5. Print out this report from the Social Security Administration just in case the worker is also confused that you are allowed a SSN. If she says "no" then you can pull out the pages and show her the rule. Look at this report now https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0110211530. Scroll down in the second chart where the first column says CLASS. find your class K1. Do you see that on the K1 line it says Legal Alien Allowed to Work?

this link doesn;t seem to work....but i;m sure it did once before when i was in Scotland.....is it straight forward to get another one...how important is it to print this?......ok sorry about this.

You don't have to print it. It is suggested in case your worker says a K1 can't get a SSN. if you print only the page that has K1 on it, not every page, then you have something to show them that says k1 is Legal Alien Allowed to Work by Social Security standards. It means you can get a card as a K1 (but remember that option is only valid for 76 days from entry).

Thank you!.......ok it looks like I'm finally all ready for it......and MIGHT be being driven to the nearest social security office tomorrow.

also am now in a cooler part of the house...computer and desk has been moved to it.
