When to get married after arrival in US

[CRB 25]

If everything goes well at the interview, we plan on leaving for the US in mid-April. We talked about setting the wedding date for mid June, exactly 3 years to the date we met. However, this would be almost 2 months into the 90-day time limit.

My question; should we get married sooner? I read somewhere that you should get married as soon as possible. I plan on applying for a Social Security Card about 2 weeks after her arrival and file the EAD along with the AOS as soon as possible after we get married.

Can anyone help me understand the importance of the timeline between arrival and marriage.

Thank you

1. Your fiancé can apply for ssn 2 weeks after she arrives.

2. From the day she enters the country you guys have 90 days to get married, there is no timeline to apply for aos but if your fiancé wants to work soon then file asap after the wedding.

Chinook applied for a Social Security number a week or two after she arrived. We got married about six weeks after she arrived. As soon as we picked up our marriage certificate, we went back to the Social Security office where Chinook filed for a name change. All of that worked well for us. I think you'll be fine getting married two months in.

There is no timeline as long as you are married within 90 days. Our wedding was relatively late--Joan arrived on June 13th and we were married on August 24th. We filed for AOS a week later and Joan had her EAD by the end of November--which was still a long time to sit at home. So, as others have said, the only time factor to consider is if your fiancee wants to work as soon as possible.

Quite simple... need to be married WITHIN 90 days of entry at POE.

You do not need to wait 2 weeks in order to apply for an SSN. Now that the I-94 is electronic, you can print out your I-94 and apply for the SSN right away.

The requirement is to marry at anytime within 90 days of entry.

Apply for AP as well as EAD and AOS

whatever the duration is prior to the 90 day expiration of the i-94,

I suggest getting married on a Tuesday.

Why? Tuesdays Rock ! and all staff have recovered from the weekend..
