Hi I am new here.

Just frustrated because I wanted to get a job to help my hubby to save also for our future, however I was informed that I cant work until I submitted AOS..

Just need to be enlightened with the immigration process.

I entered as k1 visa holder and we have been married legally here in TX.

My hubby is a former veteran we heard that the aos process can be expedited because of that Is that true?

Sorry I have so many questions.

Thanks.

Start by reading the guides and then ask any questions you have.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
