My fiancée interview is on the 30th. I want to have everything ready so that the day he comes into the US we can obtain the marriage license so I can try and expedite the filing of the I-485. Is it necessary for us to have a ceremony and take pictures? We are getting married through the courts, however, we are both still very traditional and he would like to propose with a ring and have a big wedding later in 2018. in which case for financial purposes, it is impossible while we are apart, specially him coming from a third world country.

My fiancée interview is on the 30th of December.

Is it necessary for us to have a ceremony and take pictures? We are getting married through the courts, however, we are both still very traditional and he would like to surprise propose with a ring and have a big wedding later in 2018. in which case because of financial purposes, it is impossible while we are apart, specially him coming from a third world country. So is this necessary to show that we married through the courts ?

I am hoping to have my fiancée working as soon as I can once he enters with a k-1 visa. His interview is on the 30th of December. When he comes, we will obtain the marriage license and apply for a social security the same day and then wait on the marriage certificate.

Will there be a charge for sending it separately?

Is it better to send the EAD alone so it can be expedited or to send it together with the I-485?

Is it even possible that I can send the EAD on its own? Please advise.

Sending what separately?

You could send the EAD application before the AOS. You would have to pay the fee (which is otherwise waived), and once approved (takes 2-3 months), it would only be valid until your fiancés i94 expires (3 months). So, you could do the math on the usefullness of that approach.

Get married asap, file for EAD concurrently with AOS.

Either way, your fiancé will not be working for the first 2-4 months of living in the US.

If it isn't difficult, it isn't worth it.

It's best to send the EAD request for free with the I-485. You can only expedite if he has a firm offer of employment.

You could send it alone while here on the 90 days of the K-1, but it takes 90 days to get and is only valid during those 90 days. You have to pay and this would be a waste of money.

The EAD needs an underlying petition. You can not file for it before AOS.
