Hi,

I'm trying to find a document that says I'm authorised to stay in the U.S for my husbands work (Military - Long story) I came on a K-1, married, awaiting AOS, received first NOA1 stating next steps is Biometrics etc... but I didnt get an SSN within my 90 days (silly!) and now they want physical documented proof saying i'm legally allowed to be here...Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Your NOA1 from your AOS application is sufficient proof.

Thank you all so much, the NAO1was sufficient to the person we saw today, just not yesterday. Go figure!
