Hello,

I filed for a fiance K1 visa which my husband entered the states with and we got married 10 days before the 90 day limit. We have now been married for 5 years and still have not filed for adjustment of status and his K1 visa has expired. We are going to file a I-765, and I-485 is there any other forms that we should file? Also how can we expedite the process so that he can get work authorization and a social security number sooner?

Thank you in advance!

The two bolded statements together are the funniest thing I have read on this forum. If you wanted it sooner, you should have applied anytime in the last 4.5 years.

No way to expedite it. You may also have to explain why you waited 5 years to adjust status. The forms for you are the same as the rest of us, I-485, I-765, and I-131.

I wouldn't suggest sending in the I-131. It could cause problems since your husband's K1 visa already expireed and currently he is out of status.

And agreed there is no way to expedite the processing. You're subject to same processing times as anyone else who sends in the same forms.

You're also subject to the additional possibility AOS denial based on your apparent abandonment of the process. Has your husband remained in the US constantly during the time following your marriage?

I know you're not the first to do this, but why wait 5 years? Two years maybe, but 5...just wondering. Why? No, SSN in 5 years?

Good luck along the way.

....when it hurts to look back and you're scared to look ahead LOOK beside you and I'll be there.....

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore... and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
