Hello everyone,

Brian and I just got married last December 6 and we are trying to move to the next stage now which is the filing of Adjustment of Status. I have been granted with K1 visa and K2 for my daughter.

Though we both have started reading about AOS steps, there are still some grey areas that we wanted to clarify.

What I have now is my SSN under my maiden name, joint accounts (maiden name).

Does anyone of you here can provide a clear outline of the forms need to be filled out? If we wanted the green card to show my married name, is there something we need to do differently? And also with my K2, do we need to submit a separate application for her? Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Follow this guide for AOS. The K-2 will their own separate I-485, I-765 and I-131 > http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos

The fees are listed here > http://www.uscis.gov/i-485

The fees for the I-765(EAD-work authorization) and I-131(AP-advance parole for travel) are waived when filed with a pending I-485, so include both of those too. It takes about 60-90 days to receive the EAD/AP combo card, which will allow you to work(along with an SSN) and re-enter the US when traveling abroad while waiting for the green card approval.

You need all the supporting documents for each form as well, so read the instructions for each one. You can also search here on VJ for what to include with each form if you get stumped. There are also example forms here on VJ you can look at when filling out the forms. They can be helpful.

And here are the details you need about whether or not you need to see a civil surgeon > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/551080-immunizations-ds-3025-or-i-693/

If you are changing your name through marriage, then use your new married name on all the AOS forms.

usually, one can quickly find the AOS guide and the link for it when using a PC. Are you using a PC to amass your knowledge for the next step, or no? if no, why no ?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
