EAD & AOS forms

[Mafia_girl 1]

I hope VJ peeps can help me out, aside from the I-485 and I-765 forms that I will need to complete after our wedding, are there other forms that we need to submit? I know that during the K1 visa application, there were few more forms that was submitted aside from the published forms and just wanted to make sure that we are not missing any other forms upon submission.

Thank you all!

Welcome to the forum!

In particular, the step-by-step K-1/K-3 AOS Guide:

As noted in the guide, many folks also apply for the Employment Authorization Document I-765/Advance Parole I-131 (EAD/AP) combo card concurrently when filing the AOS application. It doesn't cost any more when filed at the same time (submit a total of six passport photos). When approved (usually within 90 days), the EAD/AP combo card allows the non-USC to obtain work and to travel internationally. This can be very useful, considering some of the currently prolonged AOS approval processing times.

My wife applied for the combo card, was approved, and then found out that she needed to return to care for her ailing mother. Thankfully, the wife received her I-551 conditional Green Card (GC) in the meantime. If the GC had not been available, having the combo card would have really helped in this situation.

Happy trails.
