Hi everyone,

We recently got married. We are waiting for the marriage certificate to come in the mail. Can somebody please advise as to what to do next to ensure we are following the correct procedures and getting everything done as quickly as possible. We also wish to travel home (for me) to England in August, can anyone advise as to which forms etc i must fill out in order to leave the country ( USA) for a couple of weeks.

Thank you very much for all your help.

Now that you are married, you need to do "Adjustment of Status" (AOS) to become a Permanent Resident.

You need to fill out forms I-485 (AOS), I-131 (Advance Parole, in order to travel outside the US), and I-765 (Employment Authorization).

Read the "Guides" section on AOS to get all the information and required documents, etc.

Good luck.

Hi everyone ... can somebody please tell me how long it takes to receive the necessary paperwork for the advanced parole ... they should have all my paperwork now (9th May) and I need to go home for a family wedding on July 28th. Can somebody please advise me .

Thank you very much

Up to 90 days, but between 30-60 seems the norm at the moment (your situation may be very different from the people who have reported receiving AP within these time frames).
