After the move here are some QUESTIONS...

[sapa_uscan 0]

I have a few questions, and here is my scenario:

• K1 visa holder.
• Moved to the US 4 days ago.
• Got married (civil) in court 2 days ago.

when to apply for Name change of my wife

when to apply for AOS

when to apply for EAD

when to apply for Travel Docs

when to apply for SSN

Having read here on VJ, and keeping in mind how some docs are dependent on others, and the time it takes for them to arrive, I was wondering if there is a sequence/order to follow given the my scenario.

All help is highly appreciated.

Apply for SSN after 2-3 weeks upon entry.

Apply for AOS, EAD, AP all at the same time as soon as you can get everything together (including a copy of the marriage certificate). The AOS fee covers fees for all three. You should send them all in the same package but separate them within the package since they are separate applications (you'll need copies of some of the same things for each application).

Not sure about the name change. She's the USC right?

Right, she's the USC [and I moved here]. I ask this question because on the forms that I'll submit very soon (I-485, I-765, I-131), where ever they ask her name, will I be putting her married name?

fyi: We have not yet had her name change docs submitted-- just because we are not sure how this will affect the AOS submission with a different name.

Should we wait to have her name change done after we have submitted for AOS, EAD, AP, etc. or first get the name change and then submit for AOS, EAD, AP, etc..

If I wait, ofcourse, my EAD will only take that much longer.
