Hi everyone! I am new to all this and I really need some help. My husband and I have been married for 3 years this August and he is with me in the U.S on a K-3 visa and it expires in Dec 2010. We have a 14 month old son and don't want us to be apart.So I need to get this right! So we have to hurry and begin his A.O.S as soon as possible and I would like everyone to please take a moment and give me any advice that is needed for me!

I had a immigration person help me before and paid $2000.00 before and he did nothing just took my money and demanded more. I don't want a bad experience again.

Is my husband going to be able to stay with me during the process?

Is id difficult to do on my own?

What information should I save or collect for our interview?

ETC.......

???????

Thank you so much everyone! God Bless!

OK, first of all, relax and calm down :)

Yes your husband can stay with you during this process.

No, it is not difficult for most people to do on their own.

If you are asked to come for an interview, you will need to show common domicile (joint lease or mortgage), joining of financial resources (joint bank account or credit cards)..

Basically proof of your life together.

Read the guides, it is very helpful!

Read the K1/K3 AOS guides:

http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos

Everything you need to know is there. If your husband's K3 is going to expire in December then I imagine his medical has already expired. He'll probably need a complete medical from a civil surgeon. This may cost $150 to $300, depending on the civil surgeon.

Your husband has legal status in the US until his K3 expires. If you get the AOS petition submitted and accepted before the K3 expires then he will be granted a period of lawful presence while the AOS petition is being adjudicated. He does not have to leave the US, and there's no reason you can't remain together.

If you are capable of reading and following instructions then you don't need any help - you can do this yourself.

For the interview you will need evidence you live as a married couple. First and foremost, this means proof you actually live together. You can help prove this by showing both of your names on various accounts - utility bills, apartment lease, credit cards, bank accounts, etc. The interviewer officer will also expect to see some co-mingling of finances, especially in a marriage as long as yours - joint bank accounts, jointly filed tax returns, etc. Finally, proof of your relationship together - pictures, etc.

08/18/2010 - AOS Interview - APPROVED!

I agree, It may seem overwhelming, but take a deep breath. You can do this yourself. The people here and the guides are wonderful. I did it myself, and my interview is next month. I had no problems.
