[speakerbox 23]

Hey people!

People are looking for thread about AOS so why don't I?

I'm about to file our AOS, EAD and AP soon.

Almost done preparing.

Hopefully it'll go smooth and get everything soon too.

Let's help out each other

Good luck everyone!

I'm curious what the current processing times are and when my fiancé will be able to legally work!?

We are still living here on K1 visa and when you entered us, immigration officer put stamp on your passport and told me that's your k1 visa expire date. As long as you file AOS before that I think you'll be fine. Otherwise you have to extend.

And you're welcome I needed it too.

Idk about processing time. I think you can check on uscis website.

But about work, your fiancé can work after you get green card or EAD whichever comes first.

The K1 requires you to get married within 90 days of arrival into the USA. There is no mechanism to extend this.

While there is no stated deadline to file for AOS, the sooner after marriage the better. It's okay if this goes past the 90 day limit - the only requirement is being married within 90 days.

You'll still be able to adjust status filing after 90 days BUT by then it'll also take a bite on your wallet as you'll be required to submit an I-130 as well. That'll jump your filing fee from $1,070 (only I-485 fee) to $1,490 ( $420 I-130 fee + $1,070 I-485). In addition you'll be acquiring unlawful presence post 90 days till you file to adjust status which can be problematic with 3 to 10 year bar once it reaches 180 days to 1 year respectively.

Folks, the necessary information for the AOS process is in the Guides and in other threads in this forum; the monthly "case filing & progress" threads are in the subforum of that name. Obviously, everyone's intentions are good; however, the support and answers to the concerns expressed so far are readily available elsewhere, and in more organized form than the manner in which this thread is progressing. Please read and absorb the existing material, and return to post specific questions only if you honestly can't locate an answer otherwise. Thanks for understanding these reasons for this thread's closure.
