Hi guys,

I will appreciate if someone will help me from his/her experience.

After marriage we have to apply for AOS before my K-1 visa will expire?

Thank you for answer!!!!

Your K-1 is null and void after entry. It's the I-94 that gives you 90 days of authorized stay. Best to get married and file for AOS before the 90 days is up, because the receipt for AOS gives you another period of authorized stay while the AOS is pending. But technically you can still file for AOS beyond the 90 days.

Slangofoil,

Thank you. I-94 is a form that Homeland Security will give me in the airport? Or its something what I have to fill out after arrival?

Sorry for me question. I am new in immigration process. I want to know what i have to do. Thank you.

It's your arrival/departure record from when you go through customs at arrival - I've heard that they've gone electronic with the actual form, so you won't receive a copy - but your passport will be stamped to show you're admitted for 90 days as a K-1.

Just don't get confused and think that the expiry date on the actual K-1 visa is applicable after you arrive. You have to enter the US before the expiry date of the visa, but after arrival the date that matters is the one that customs stamps in your passport when you go through.

Thanks Slangofoli,

Do you know about SSN? After we will get married we will apply for AOS. How I can get SSN? Do you I need SSN? Or I can just work with EAD. Is EAD the same as SSN?

Thank you for answer.

You can get an SSN by going to the Social Security office about a week after arrival. You don't need an SSN to get married, but you will need it eventually when you want to work, so go ahead and get it shortly after arrival. EAD is separate - file for that and AP at the same time as AOS. You can't work with just the SSN - need EAD too.

Slangofoli,

How can I apply for SSN? I will go to USCIS without any appointment? I read I have to have SS5 form. Where I can find this form? What other docs should I have to get SSN?

thank you!

USCIS does not give out SSNs. A different government agency - Social Security Administration - handles that. Follow the instructions at http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/. You can print the form and find a local office to submit it. I think you just need the form and your passport for the request.
