If you personally do not trust it, then you personally do not have to use it. Plenty of other people have used AP just fine without issues. As Harpa stated already, if their AOS was not denied, it is safe for them to use the AP they were granted.

As soon as you have the marriage certificate (meaning, you two are married and have the paperwork to prove it :-) you should immediately file an I-130 petition (similar to the I-129F you already filed, but this one is for people who are already married), and file that TOGETHER with the usual AOS forms (I-485 Adjustment of Status, I-131 Advance Parole, and I-765 for Employment Authorization) so they can (and, usually, will) be processed together. Yes, this means you will have to pay the fee for I-130, sorry, because your K-1 (for the I-129F) is no longer usable.
Of course, you will also have to pay the fees for the I-485 procedure, but you would have had to pay those anyway. Currently, these are $985 for the filing itself, plus $85 for the biometrical stuff (page 5 of I-485 instructions, just so Harpa doesn't yell ;-)
So, please, get this done SOON... very soon. So far, you only "lost" whatever you paid for the K-1, and some time. It's still fixable, but you have to get going on it!

Getting as much info as possible is fine, so long as it is correct info. The poster who is new and keeps posting all over VJ with misinformation is not someone you need to be listening to. The problem with people who have been here 5 minutes and know it all, is that one day, some one who doesn't know any darn better is going to follow poor adivse, and get into trouble.

You've already got the correct information from the vast majority of posters here. The first six posts are all full of good stuff.

Filing to adjust status from the K-1 is no longer an option as you did not follow-through as promised. You can marry and do a concurrent filing. This would be the I-130/I-485 filing. You can file for EAD and AP at the same time as the I-485 at no additional cost. Fees will be $420 for the I-130 plus $1070 for the AOS.

I'd be happy to revise the language filter if there was a way to improve the smarts behind it.

There are a number of Canadians who are married to US citizens and who live in US border towns who commute back and forth to work in Canada every day. They are considered US residents for income tax and health insurance purposes and have to file returns in both countries (but the US Canada tax treaty prevents double taxation) but it is do-able.

As a seasoned traveler with animals in cabin and underneath.....highly recommend u do not drug them in any manner. Simple reason being, if they find out they have been drugged in any manner, they can refuse your pet entry onto the plane. Yes the chances are extremely slim they will even check the cat--they have never even looked at our cats that have flown in-cabin. As well animals can act differently to drugs airborne than they do on the ground.
The Rules also apply to animals in cabin---not just in cargo.....Just that the rules between Canada/USA tend not to be followed. Only shot they seem to care about is Rabies and often don't even look for that.

Thanks for your comments. I can answer a few of your questions but the Site Administrator, Captain Ewok, handles all of the technical stuff and is best to answer those questions for you.
2. The Site Administrator is Captain Ewok. He will probably respond in this thread shortly.
3. Any member in good standing who has demonstrated an ability to post calmly and accurately in the forums, who has been on the site long enough to become familiar with its many aspects as well as the many different types and processes of visa 'journeys', and who has the time to volunteer their services can be a moderator. The Site Administrator appoints moderators, and the current moderation team maintains a list of possible candidates (which is regularly updated as names are added and removed from the list). When there is a need for new moderators, this list is consulted and the various candidates posting histories researched and discussed by the moderation team and administration, coming back with a preferred candidate who is then 'invited' to become a moderator. Not everyone accepts the invitation as it can be a lot of work.
4. Group is basically an assigned category of membership. It is generally handled by the site software and shows what category of membership you have, determined by your participation. You are a Validating member until you respond to the membership email verifying you are a real person; you then become a new member until you have a certain number of posts. You are a general member then unless you are appointed as an Organizer (move threads when they are posted in the wrong place) or one of the Moderators, or your membership is 'closed' if you are no longer a member.
It would be lovely if we could keep all relevant information in one location, however, the field of immigration is so large and multi-faceted that there really isn't an easy way to do that. Certainly how we are organized now can probably be tweaked and I know Captain Ewok is receptive to any suggestions members have (and help that they offer) on how to improve the site, but no matter what we do, people are always going to have to do some leg work on their own, because that is the nature of the immigration process itself. It doesn't fit into nicely defined little categories but has a lot of overlap so that one aspect can apply to several different processes. The site is organized in general related areas with more specific themes, and there are step by step instructions with forms and such that can be accessed through the menu bar at the top.
No matter how organized a site becomes, however, people are always going to ask questions - and there is really no way that every answer can be posted in a concise format, because every case is individual. Even if everyone is pursuing the same visa, there are still country specific or Consulate specific differences that are best addressed through members asking questions and other members sharing their own personal experiences.
One of the biggest problems we do have and are trying to address is to keep the information about the different processes and forms and such current. These change pretty regularly and we need to keep updating both the general information and the country or consulate specific information, and really rely upon our membership to help with that.
As I said, I am sure Captain Ewok will be along to answer more of your questions, and I know we are always interested in members who are willing to help us keep this site effective, productive and relevant.

The 5 months is only an estimate not a guarantee or promise. Some take 10 months to a year others less so it averages out to 5 months. Sorry you are feeling discouraged. Just be patient it will come. In the meantime are you already for NVC stage?
Here is the NVC process Wiki http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

As long as you didn't have intent to marry and adjust status before he traveled on his b-2 you can adjust status. Follow the guides above

You know what is interesting about the study? They don't reveal the age of those 1000 women interviewed! The 'age' when someone stops being sexy and attractive definitely 'moves upwards' as you yourself move upwards in age. When I was in my 20s I would have thought someone in their 40s was old but even then I could see some very attractive 'over 40' men. As I have gotten older myself, I find that there are a lot of attractive older men, and my criteria for determining what is sexy and attractive have also matured. Superficially, it's great to look at eye candy - which can come in any age - but 'sexy' is more than appearance. And even over 40, there are some pretty darn sexy looking men! I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the majority of the interviewees were themselves under the age of 40.

June 4th? If so, it has been over a month and you should call USCIS and get a Tier 2 person and have them look up your file.
You should not refile.
Did you check the bank for the check to be cashed? They do it as an electronic debit.

Sorry, this is incorrect. Once the I-94 card is expired (really 2 weeks before it expires), a K-1 needs a valid EAD to get a SSN. AOS-pending is not a valid reason to get a SSN if one has not been issued before.

You can fly from Ottawa and have your POE there. One note though, as you are CR-1 you do NOT fill out an I-94 you just hand in your packet and they will activate your visa in your passport. They will fill out a form that will eventually generate your "green card".
It is a breeze! No worries!
Best wishes on your new adventure!

OMFG! I am going to yell at you now. Because I care.
He CANNOT leave the country again!!! Are you all there?!?!
We JUST explained that his leaving the country cost you $1070+ and NEARLY caused you to be separated for a year!
And you think he should leave AGAIN??? OMFG!!
_________
Why didn't he use his French passport? Was he trying in any way to elude authorities into thinking he never left?
He will need to show proof that he entered the country legally. He can use the stamp in his Italian passport.
This is really a mess.

Exit Visa you meant Re-Entry permit? Her continuous physical residence has broken, she will be able to file N400 4 years and 1 day minus her time of staying from her last trip (at least 6 months you stated)

Hey I won't miss the poisoness snake, spiders, or roaches!
