[In God We Trust 3]

Hello All!

So I am new to THIS forum as I have spent MOST of my time in the K-1 Fiance Visa forum, but we have passed that stage now. I am trying to wrap my head around the AOS process and ANY & ALL info is greatly appreciated.

At this point, My fiance has been approved and just arrived in the U.S. I have been looking over the VJ Guides and see that according to them we will next get him a SS card, get the marriage license, marry and then start the AOS process... Is this correct?

I was also wondering after reading the guide IF when we go through the AOS process is there a POSSIBILITY that he could be denied or rejected? Meaning... is there a possibility that at the end of the AOS process he could be denied and made to return to his country? OR is the AOS process just a formality that we need to go through to complete him arriving and getting ready to work and stay permanently?

Am just wondering and trying to set my mind at ease and free to know that the "Hard Part" is over... If there is such a thing...lol

ANY ADVICE OR GUIDANCE ANYONE CAN GIVE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

You got your steps correct.

As to answer your second question, yes it could be denied. So you have to proof that your are in legit relationship. You have to start collecting evidence again that will proof you are living together like: lease in both names, bills, joint bank account, health insurance, driver license to the same address, joint live insurance, car insurance, joint car loan, etc... in this matter. All those evidence would need to be presented during the AOS interview.

So for clarification... IF denied does that mean he will be required to return to his country or are there OTHER things we can do to appeal the decision IF it is a denial?

I cant contribute much to this,but i wont even fear his being denied,cos i believe the VISA aspect is the hardest part and if he has scaled Lagos embassy.You guys should just ensure the docs you r submitting for adjustment of status shows ongoing relationship.

In most cases you would be able to appeal. Your relationship has already been vetted so you may not even have an interview but even if you do you do not have much to worry about unless you lied about your relationship or lied about something else.

U don't have to worry as long as you have everything that's needed and your relationship and marriage is bonafide. Don't stress over a denial just work towards evidence of a viable marriage. All the best.

yes, no need to worry about a denial unless you have something to hide! If he got the K-1, he's already been scrutinized, and you may not even get an interview. good luck!

I agree and our experience has been this is just an exercise to follow the process, complete the forms as required, send in the required documents and most importantly, your fee.

Dont worry yourself about any denial follow the AOS guide here on VJ and u will be fine...there is a possibility you wont have to have an interview during AOS (we didnt) Also wait until he is here for at least 2 weeks before you attempt to get him a SSN. There is also a link on here on getting SSN...Good luck to you and stop worrying the hard part of being approved is over

One more thing if you please... I notice in your AOS timeline you make reference to a csc... What is that? Thanks again Patient

Congratulations for getting this far! CSC = California Service Center. Most cases (not all) that are sent to CSC don't get interviewed. Check out the Guides, there you will find most any info you need. Here is the direct SSN info link.
