Advice on AOS, AP, EAD

[lcirt 4]

Hello guys, my now husband and I got married on September 28 with the K-1 visa and this week we are planning in turning in our AOS package. Where can i find the A- number? Also any advice I should know or beware of before submitting anything in. Thanks! The waiting game starts all over again. Hope its a smooth process.

Hi, and Congrats!

The A- number should be on your NOA2, I believe.

(The letter you received stating that your K1 was approved and forwarded to your consulate, that letter should have the number near the top.)

There are guides on this website to help you figure out what you need for your AOS.

Hi! Congrats on the marriage! You can find the A number on the NOA2 next to the beneficiary's name. It starts with an A followed by 9 digits. As for the advices, I would say make sure you make copies of everything you're sending and re read everything several times to make sure that you didn't forget to sign somewhere or to answer something. Read the AOS guide too to check if you have all the documents needed. Good luck with your process!

OP: It appears from your thread title that you will be applying for your AOS/EAD/AP at the same time. That is an excellent idea. There are no additional fees if you concurrently file. It is difficult to tell how long current AOS approval times are running. With your EAD/AP combo card you can travel to visit your family, or find employment. You do need to submit a total of 6 passport photos, and fill out the applications. Great examples are available in the Example Forms section, easily accessible at the top of the the forum page.

Here some useful USCIS info about AOS/EAD/AP filing: http://www.uscis.gov/i-485 , and check out the AOS Guide.

Good luck on your immigration journey.
