SS number, I765, I485, I130

[marvs222000 0]

My wife entered in the U.S. by a K3 (spouse visa) on Aug. 07, 2009 just 2 weeks ago. We went to the Social security to ask for a ss number but the lady there said my wife has to apply I-766 first. Im' confused with i-766 between i-765 so i did research in the internet and they are just kinda similar and we decided to choose i-765. We are trying to gather information on how to apply for 1-765 and I-485 and now we found out through our research in the internet that we should also apply for I-130. Can we apply I-130 together with the I-765 and I-485? if so, can we send these 3 forms together to one address? is there anyone who could give advice please? are we in the right track? i'm just confused with the I-130 it seems i've already submitted the requirements before my wife came to stay with me. just reallly confuse because i've already filled up some forms before to petition my wife. Do i need to apply this I-130? it's been 2 weeks now that we haven't done anything we just want to do it right before we submit the documents. Please help.

Thanks!

Your wife cant get a SSN until she had a EAD or a Greencard. As a K3 visa holder she can apply for the EAD now and wait ti apply for AOS just before her K3 expires, that way she wont have to do the removal of conditions 2 years after getting her greencard.

You need to have a read of the guides on VJ for people doing AOS from a K3. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1k3aos

You do not need to file for a I-130 because you already have filed that as part of your K3. I am sure it will make much more sense once you have read the guide.
