CR-1/K-3 Visa Tips & moving back and forth

[DrEllaNJ 288]

maybe your friend didn't file AOS until having been married for almost two years? Or she didn't file the work authorization form (i-765) with the AOS petition? Or her card got lost in the mail? 

Most people get their work authorization within 90 days from filing the AOS paperwork. Mine took 95 which was annoying - still, nothing close to two years.

Because you can't remove conditions if you do not have a green card, and if you have a green card, you're authorized to work.

 

I'm not quite sure really, she seemed confused herself.

 

Quick question, you seem to be quite knowledgeable; does my fiance need to show that he meets the minimum poverty guidelines yearly until I receive my green card? Like now to obtain the Fiance Visa, when I'm there as a conditional resident, and when we apply to have my conditions removed?

fiancé visa: 100% (at least) of the poverty guidelines (1-134) for appropriate household size. Although a lot of embassies want you to have 125%

AOS: 125% of the poverty guidelines (i-864) for appropriate household size

removal of conditions: no income requirements, AFAIK
