[specifically, fill out an I-485, an I-765, an I-131, an I-864, a G-325, get an I-693 filled out, and assemble all required documentation. Make at least one additional copy of the entire packet for a personal backup, and mail the whole shebang to USCIS.]

About 4-6 months to receive the 2 year GC.

$1070 plus miscellaneous postage, passport photos, vaccination information transcription, supplemental vaccines, and photocopying fees.

Answer to PM:

Yes, it is absolutely necessary to pay $1070. If you do not include a check for $1070 with all of the forms, they will just send them all right back to you.

There is an AOS thread in my signature which should help you. As heatdeath said the fee is $1070. No way around it.

In order to apply for her SSN, her I-94 visa must have 14+ days before expiring. So, you have 2 weeks from today to apply.

Hey Mark,

Yes, and here in California, I could not get her a driver's liscense / I.D. card, because her I-94 needed at least 60 days validity left on it. We went to the DMV a few weeks after she got here and the I-94 had like 50 days left (out of the 3 months it is good for with a K1) and they shut us down- after waiting in line 2 hours to try to get the California I.D. card!
