The K1 can and best to get that before getting married. The K2 needs to wait until you get married and file for AOS along with the EAD. Don't forget to apply for it, it's another form. Yes, without getting married neither of them can adjust status.

Sadly they cannot. They have to wait until the EAD comes in or CG.

~~Moved to AOS Family K1/K3, from K1 P&P- The OP is asking about the AOS stage~~ Mod hat off K2 do indeed need the EAD to get a SSN. When starting the Adjustment of Status process you will apply for the EAD and AP. They are free to apply when you file to adjust status for mom and your stepson. Apply for it for both of them.

~~Thread locked to further replies. As multiple members have posted in this thread with different cases and process. Please start a thread if you have questions as not all cases/process are the same. You question is much better asked in its own thread and not get lost or mixed in with others.~~

Congratulations!

Depending how old you are, you might have luck calling the Health Unit to see if they have your childhood records. They would have them from when you were in school. I wouldn't just go get revaccinated. Over vaccination is a real thing. Get the titers test.

They may let him cross without activating it. Since going electronic packages it seems to be more hit or miss. You sure can cross activate, get started with a place and bring the rest over after.

~~Moved to Working and Traveling, from AOS Family K1/K3- The OP's wife has already received her GC and wants to travel.~~

You can keep your house and business going, but as a non resident. You will stop being a resident of Canada when you endorse your visa. The day you cross and get that stamp. Your Visa endorsement is your declaration that you are becoming a US resident. Very important to the US and keeping your GC. oOr Canada it is also your last day as a resident of Canada. You will mark this on your exit taxes too. Health benefits end at that time except for provinces like BC who you actually pay one month in advance. So you have the remainder of the time. Tax credits like baby bonus (not sure what they call it now) that come in monthly they end immediately. Along with the quarterly check that used to be the GST. Over the years members have continued to get those payments just to get a letter later that the government wants their money back and asap. Others did contact Revenue Canada to stop payments and still got them, which they had to return them after many calls to get that cleared up too. It's a hot mess. So in short you cannot be a resident of both Canada and the US.

Your daughter needs her own I-130 it would be best if she is petitioned at the same time as you. This process is not fast and it is even slower if you were to leave her behind to file for her later. She's lost a mother, being apart from her father for years can hurt her. Don't leave her behind.

You need to stay home when you're sick Not good timing to be getting sick. You're probably run down with everything going on. Hope you feel better soon.

Other than the stench of it because I know ppl become nose blind. But her poor lungs, how on earth did this not make her severely sick.

Safe travels and have a Merry Christmas

This will help you out https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-724?language=en_US If traveling domestically, a passport is not needed but If you are driving into the United States (U.S.) and have not yet received a birth certificate for a U.S. or Canadian citizen infant, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer will accept: the birth record issued by the hospital, a letter on hospital letterhead or a letter from the doctor who delivered the child providing details of the birth, including the name of the child, time and place of birth, and the parent(s) name.

It looks like we are talking about two different things. I don't remember getting something like that when my older kids where born. It might be new. I can't seem to see anything online about it either. The one I was thinking about looks like this. But if she is a week old I don't think it is this that you have.
