Timeframe -- Recommendations -- K1 to GC

[Andrs01-2020 24]

Hello everyone.. hopefully 2022 is being nice to all of us..

 

pretty much all went smooth with the k1, all perfect - she got the visa 10/2021 but wanted to spend last Christmas with family and I was looking for an apartment for all docs to be in our names..

 

recommendations on what to do next:

 

she is coming on Feb 01/2022 -

when do I apply for a SSN? what date? -- we are moving to Miami, so I think it may be easier on immigration

when to get marry? there is no rush or waiting to the last minute either - just the best time regarding paperwork?

maybe March 1st then send all documents right away?

 

I know Covid messed up everything, but what time are we looking at for wait times to get the Green Card?

 

thanks!

Check the guides section here on VJ.  There is a flowsheet which will help.  You are at step 14.

Thanks Crazy Cat -- but reading all info it states ""You should wait 2 weeks after you arrived in the US before applying for a SSN. ""

 

but some people have applied within days or arriving.. just wanted to see if someone did so recently

It doesn’t really matter. Depending on the office you can do everything correct and still not get you SSN. They are  notoriously incompetent and unhelpful. Have her enter the US get married then go get your SSN and file your AOS as soon as you can after. AOS depends on location it will likely be close to a year.

 

some places also require you wait a week before they allow you to get married. Best of luck. Set your expectations for how smooth everything will go extremely low so you will only be a little disappointed when it’s worse than that.
