After my Fiance is in the U.S from Philippines

First off my old username did not work for some reason it was Bulldog.

After my fiance gets here in the U.S and we get married how long do we have until we need to file for her 2 year visa?

Its not a 2 year visa you apply for, it is permanent residency (conditional, for 2 years)

Ideally you should apply before her I-94 expires. If not, then as soon as possible. You wife will become out of status as soon as the 90 days from the K-1 entry are up, until you file for AOS.

You should file as soon as possible - best practice is to file before the 90-day I-94 expires - doing so helps protect your spouse's status.

There is no real deadline to file AOS but the longer you wait, the longer it takes and the more chance that something could come up in the mean time. Also means it is that much longer before your spouse can enjoy the privileges of being a permanent resident (i.e., driving, working, etc.).

What are the steps to be taken as soon as she gets off the plaine.

Read the guide (link above at the top of this page) for Adjusting Status from a K-1 visa.

actually, I'll even post it here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1k3aos

Ok this is the update and i an very upset and happy all at once.

K-1 Visa I 1 29 approved on 6-19-2009 we both moved to new address 8 months ago and filed the address change with the USCIS.

Been waiting on her packet to come now for 4 weeks but nothing so I called the Embassy in Manila and they sent it to her old address huhuhuhu.

So now i updated everything with them on the phone and they said they will send the packet out in the next few days but her interview is already schedualed for Aug 20,2009 at 7:30 and her medical has to be done 7 days prior to her interview but they also say she does not have to make an appointment for the medical just go and get it???

I also thought we was the one to call and schedual the appointment for the interview ? but they say we have the date already.

Can anyone answer these questions for sure please
