Hi everyone. I'm a little confused so I apologize if this is a dumb question. My fiance and I were married two weeks ago. We just applied for Social Security (that's a whole nother story) and from browsing through the vj.com site I'm confused as to whether my new wife needs to file for both an AOS AND EAD or does she already have "EAD Status" since she's a K1 visa holder?

Also, her 90 days are set to expire in 1 month...do I have enough time for everything?

Thanks for any and all help,

John

First congrats on your recent marriage..... :dance:

No questions are dumb on VJ.... we all go through this together and here to help.

If your wife wants to work before the AOS approval you will need to apply for the EAD. She does not have an automatic EAD with a K1.

1 month is plenty time..... Just start getting everything ready.

You have time to apply for the AOS still just take your time so that you get everything you need! Don't try to rush because of your visa expiring you will get everything done in time I am sure! :D Also you will also need to get an EAD if your wife wants to work while waiting for AOS to be approved. You don't automatically get an EAD for being on a K1 but if she got a stamp at the POE it will expire in one month with the visa.

Good Luck!!

You have enough time to ge everything together. Just start now to make sure you have everything and it is all done correctly. You only need to apply for EAD if your wife wants to work before your AOS is approved. Also, some states require that you have either one to get a drivers license or ID card.
