We got approved for AOS once approved they email you a notification and text message. Once done the green card is updated to card in production and then mailed out to u. Ur case will be different since ur applying for a i130. Ur wife will have the green card when she arrives in the USA. I adjusted from a k1 visa. Questions?

I think u need to really understand the process and difference between a k1 and cr1. K1s marry within 90 days of your fiancée in the USA. Cr1s are when u marry abroad. U can't file for AOS if u are not married. That's the k1 requirement whitin 90 days of he or she arrival in the USA.

Exactly, that's why i said how did you get a green card with k1?

Jho369 I believe you may be confused about how the K-1 process works. Zeta never said he wasn't married. In fact, in order for Zeta's wife to get her green card, they had to marry within 90 days of her arrival to the US per the K-1 instructions. After they were married, they could proceed with the AOS process that leads up to receiving the green card.
