Just Married - AOS help?

[Jen&Cal 85]

Hello my fiance came over on his K-1 last Saturday, we got married Wednesday.

 

It is our understanding that he cant work until he files for a work permit or the AOS.

What do we do now? Is there a detailed synopsis of what we need to do next?

 

The AOS costs $1,225  , we printed and filled out the I-485 paperwork. We want to pay with card so we included a form G-1450.

What other information do we need to include? We mail this off to the Chicago address correct?

What happens after that / how do we know when the interview, biometrics, or next step is?

 

Thank you

You should also file concurrently for I-765 and I-131, to obtain the employment authorization document and travel permit. If you file concurrently there are no additional fees. 
Consult the immigration guides on this forum and on Uscis website to learn how to prepare your packet.

Good luck!

Hello, so we are a little confused about the I-765. Is that for a work permit? If we fill out the I-485 do we need that work permit ? ( does the I-765 expire in the 90 days ? )

We are just trying to figure out what we NEED to file with the initial AOS paperwork. For example, do we need another Affidavit of support like we had for the K1?

 

Thanks !

The I-485 may take very long to be processed. In some areas the wait is up to 18 months. That's why you should file for I-765, so in the meantime your husband can get his EAD and start working while the rest of his petition is being processed.

Yes. Affidavit of Support I-864, and many more documents
