Hi everyone,

Just had a small question (probably dumb I know). After getting married from a K-1 visa and filing the AOS paperwork what is my husband's "status" in the US? The reason I'm asking is we were trying to get his learners permit to learn how to drive last week and it got a little complicated when they were trying to validate what his immigration status was (wanting to see the marriage license, taking copies of my information, and ect.). He was able to get it but it just got me thinking what is his status now? It seems like it's sort of in a crack so to speak.

Thanks,

Jamie

November 18, 2005 - Visa in hand! (Day 184)

December 19th - Vipul arrives in US

March 22, 2006 - Applied for AOS, EAD, and AP

June 6, 2006 - AP approved

June 9, 2006 - EAD approved

Feb. 5, 2007 - Becomes permanent resident

Dec. 9, 2008 - Filed I-751 to remove conditions

February 2009 - Conditions Removed - Next step Naturalization

November 19, 2009 - Filed for Naturalization!

It seems like many people have their own opinions on this, but i've never actually seen an official response (on the USCIS website for instance) :huh:

I'd like to know where people actually found out their information from - everything seems to be heresay on this issue :whistle:. K1 adjusting to xx, adjusting, k1 visa holder adjusting. What rules and regulations is the person supposed to follow during AOS. The limits set out by the original visa, a mixture of this and "AOS rules" or a whole new set of rules for AOS?

Anyone have something official - a link, scan, CNN, court case etc? :help:

I don't know why it is so important to hang a name on this. If you came in as a K1 and married within 90 days then your status is " legal " based on the fact that you are married to a USC. You file the AOS, which is pending and you wait for your status to be adjusted to some sort of permanent resident ( depending on the length of marriage ). When you get the EAD you become " work authorized ".

I don't think it is important to the USCIS. That is why they haven't made a name except "legal". You don't become "illegal" until you get one of those letters telling you that you have 30 days to leave the country and you ignore it.

I always described it as "adjusting status to permanent resident".

However, that being said, I didn't have the same issues here in WA that I've read (on here) a lot of people elsewhere had with getting a driver's license and other paperwork. Might be due to the proximity to Canada and the amount of cross-border migration in this area, but that's just a guess.

I'm glad Vipul was able to get it. :)

When I went to the SSA office to have my name changed in the system, the guy there told me my status is "AOS pending".

That said, I do agree that there are different terms out there, or at least that there is not one official term that every agency would use. So it's just more confusion...as always :D

AOS timeline:

03/17/06 filed for AOS

03/28-06 touched

04/04/06 biometrics

04/05/06 touched

05/23/06 transfered to CSC

06/17/06 touched

08/16/06 touched

11/20/06 USCIS cust.service started inquiry about case (because it's outside of processing times)

11/30/06 approval e-mail

12/07/06 Greencard in the mail (= 8 months and 21 days for the entire AOS process)

They ask your status on the AOS forms as I'm sure you know(since you filed them, DUH! me! ;) ) and I always just called it by what we were told to write there.. Adjustment Applicant as Swirly said. I'm sure any of the above would work, but that's what we always used. M.

PS..nice to see ya Jamie! Hope everything is just great with you and Vipul!! :)
