AOS from K1

[sasababa 0]

Hi everyone,

I went trough the AOS process last summer and got it done in 4 months (I was on H1 though).

A dear friend (USC) just had his fiance come here on a K1 visa.

I offered him to help.

I am very familiar with non K1-AOS process.

I know that adjustees from K1 have a slightly different process.

I have a few questions:

- She already took the medical exam. She just needs to go to a USCIS approved civil surgeon and get the vaccination record I-693A, right?

- Affidavit of support: my friend, the USC, already filed it at the time of I-129F petition. I understood from I-485 instructions that he needs to file it again, am I wrong?

- EAD, AP, SSN. When can she file for them? I believe she can file for I-765 and I-131 concurrently with I-485. What about SSN? Does she have to wait until she gets her green card (or EAD) or can she file for it based on her K1 status before she even applies for AOS?

Thanks a lot to everyone.

1) Yes, have the vaccination record (DS-3025) transferred to the I-693A.

2) Yes, it must be done again using the I-864 form.

3)Yes, she can file EAD and AP concurrently with the I-485 AOS application. She may apply for a SS card prior to AOS.

My wife is here on a K-1 and all we did was follow the AOS guide here on VJ. She had her green card five months after we mailed in the AOS.
