Wahoo!

congratulations on your marriage.

Sounds like a good and low-stress plan to get married at City Hall...That's why Kellon and I are planning to do also.

I love hearing about fellow petitioners finally getting through the biggest hurdle...being legally married AND living together.

Best Wishes

Sue

We're having a party too but not calling it a wedding. My husband's cousin (and too many other people) are doing that and pretending they aren't married and it's tacky as all hell. And I have to be in the damn thing.

Congratulations on your wedding.

You might want to just apply for AOS. My wife got the EAD three weeks before AOS interview and approval. You could save a few bucks.

Congratulations on your wedding!

As someone whose AOS process dragged on far longer than we ever would have expected, let me just offer that applying for EAD is a kind of insurance that will allow both of you to work while you're waiting. If you get quick approval, you can think of it as an expedited processing fee, but unless you're equipped to live on one salary for an extended period of time, I strongly suggest you apply for an EAD.

Best wishes. :)

Conditions Removed! Ten-year green card received 6/24/2009. No more USCIS for a very long time.
