K1 Visa - moved and married,now what?!

[kikih 4]

HI! UK to USA ( Florida) here, we just married yesterday, officially living our fairytale! May someone please point me in the direction of a to do list for all the steps we need to take now, ideally in a smart order? I am confused by the info on the social security website - our intention was to obtain my SS card and then complete AOD papers ...I know mods always post really handy ' for dummies' check lists but i cant find em.

Also Does AOS include the work permit?

Thank you!!

Start reading the guides, also read around the Ssn forum and aos forum, so you can get a sense of what should you do and what to expect based on other peoples experience.

Good luck

Please use the guides for AOS. Yes you can apply for EAD and AP at the same time as AOS.

Print out your I-94 info > https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/request.html

Follow this guide for getting the SSN > http://www.visajourney.com/content/ssn

Follow this guide for AOS > 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/
