Concerned about Adjustment of Status

[AP & JJ 1]

Hello everyone!

I'm super happy to say that my visa was approved last Monday However, I'm extremely worried about the Adjustment of Status.

This is the thing:

I'm flying to Boston on May 16 and we are getting legally married on May 21st. We plan to adjust status ASAP because we are planning a religious wedding on January 14th in Nicaragua, I'm hoping that by this time I have my work permit and advance parole. How long does it usually take to receive this? Anyone from Massachusetts? What documents should I bring from my country to make the process faster (ex: Police Record).

I'm super stressed because some of my fiancé's friends have already bought tickets to come in January 2017 ... I need some positive vibes!!!! I'm trying to be positive that I can travel by January 2017 to get married in my country.

What do you guys think? Please advise and if anyone is from Massachusetts it would be great to know how long it took for your cases ?

Gracias

EAD/AP typically take 90 days after you file.

AOS approval can vary from a couple of months to a year.

My wife recently filed for AOS from K-1 in February and already has been approved and green card in the mail.

That should be more than enough time to process the AOS,EAD, and advance parole just make sure you file them all together at the same time and I don't think theres a way to make the process faster as long as u provide all the docs and filled up the all the forms correctly you should be good. This site will help you provide all the docs needed hope it helps! Good luck!!

YAAAAAAY! Congratulations on your approval! I'll tell ya that the AOS is pretty straight forward. The junkiest part is the waiting....as usual

Bring your birth certificate (2 or even 3 copies) from the Registro Central in Managua for the AOS as well as for your personal records. It will be useful to have for other things besides immigration. Get like 10 passport photos down there too (since it's cheaper) to send along when you file the AOS, EAD, AP stuffs.

Don't need a police record. Those are only good for 6 months anyway.

File that stuff asap and you'll be able to go back to Nic in January for sure!
