File for AOS/EAD/AP. Live a happy, USCIS-free life for two years before removing conditions. Read the guides. ;)

You technically do not have to file all of them. The only ones you have to are the I-485 (which includes the I-864 Affidavit of Support and the G-325A biographic form). The fees for this will be $1070. That's $985 fee, plus $85 for biometrics. Biometrics is an appointment the non-USC will have to attend to have fingerprints and photos taken.

The I-765 and I-131 are EAD (ability to work) and AP (ability to travel). These are FREE if you file at the same time as AOS, so that's why it's recommended here at VJ to do it all at the same time.

how long to wait after filed the adjusment of status? it takes a year to process?

It depends. It's different for everyone, just like the I-129F is. Generally, right now, the EAD and AP portion are taking about 2-3 months after filing. AOS and green cards (which, by the way, replace the AP and EAD card) are generally taking a few months longer than that.

Please review the site's K-1/K-3 AOS guide for more great information on the AOS process and timeframes.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)

I have a question regarding the 90 days to marry.. You have to marry your fiancee and file adjustment of status within 90 days upon her arrival? What if you marry her in 80 days but you file Adjustment of status after 90 days.. Your fiancee can't stay to the united states?

that's ok, you only need to get married in 90 days.

you can file for AOS whenever you're ready.
