I485/I131/I765

It is strongly advised to file for adjustment of Status BEFORE the expiration of your I-94.  Failure to do so will result in your being out of status and subject to detention and removal.  It is also recommended to file your I-765 and I-131 along with your I-485.  See the guides section of this web site..

Forms I-485 Adjustment of Status, I-131 Advanced Parole (travel document) and I-765 Employment Authorization (Work Permit). File all together and pay only the fee for the I-485, the other two are free. 

 

File after you get married but before your I-94 expires is ideal.

is the I-94 is the 90 days? The immigration officer in my port of entry didnt give me a form like I-94..only a stamp on my passport with stamp date and written date.. i dont know if the written date is expiration date.. but it falls into the 90 days.. 

 

so the form for work permit is I-765 that i dont have to pay.

There is an entire forum dedicated to this process.   You are now AOS applicant,  no longer a K1 applicant .  Go to that forum and familiarize yourself

I-94s are electronic.......You have 90 days from date of US entry to marry per your K-1.  After 90 days inside the US, you are also "out of status"...married or not....you have no legal status.........but once you file the I-485, you will be granted "authorized stay".......not a legal status, in itself, but your stay will be authorized while the I-485 is being adjudicated.   If filed with the I-485, there is no fee for the I-131 and I-765.

The I-94 is available online on the CBP website. ANd yes, the work permit is free if you file it together with the I-485. File the I-131 as well, it's free as well.

Do not fail to submit the I-131 (advance Parole) even if you think you won't need it....because you might....

Get SSN first, then get married. After receiving the marriage certificate, apply for AOS with work permit and advance parole.

@kittyanne Agree with the above - go to SSA BEFORE marriage.
