A few questions a month after POE.

[jeszy 39]

Hi, we are successfully went thru the most difficult part of the K1 process and now we are together.

 

Two weeks after arrival i applied for an SS number (still waiting).

Also last week we just got married at the court.

 

My questions:

1. Why on this K1 flowchart - Number 17 is before 18? I don't understand how can you get a marriage certificate before getting married? Its really confusing to me.

At least here we only can apply for one now that we are married.

 

2. In what point of the process am i gonna get a paper what i can use to leave and come back to the country? 

 

Thank you for your answers and the previous help that i got from this great community here!

Because for most, you have to go apply for a marriage license before you get married, then after the marriage, return to same clerk office and they will give you the marriage certificate. That is why it's like that, it is correct.

 

As for travel, once you file for AOS (I-485) and submit I-131 and I-765 (AP and EAD), you will be able to travel after 4-6 months only once you have received the AP, advaned parole, authority. If you travel without it you won't be let back into the US and even probably will have deemed to abandon your AOS.

1.  The marriage certificate they are referring to the marriage license.  In some states the license becomes the certificate after being properly filled in and signed by the officiant after the marriage.

2.  You get the travel paper after you submit your AOS packet and apply for that benefit.  I-131 is the form
