We're getting married in the US on a K1. How soon after Simon leaves the UK can we go back to visit?

Anybody have any experience? His mom has heard it's like 18 months - 2 years. Not sure if that's right or not.

Thanks for the help!!!

You can leave as soon as you get your AP. So if you marry and file AOS right away you will have it within 60-90 days of filing.

I thought the timeframe for AOS was the same as with the K1. Is that wrong?

When you apply for AOS, you apply for work authorization (EAD) and Advance Parole (AP) for travel, at the same time, same envelope, no extra cost. 3 for the price of 1.

EAD and AP will process faster than AOS. 60-90 days. EAD let's him work. AP let's him leave the US and get back in. They are interim provisions while he waits on the greencard. Once he has the greencard, he no longer needs EAD and AP. his greencard allows both. Marry quickly and get the papers filed. Plan for the $1070 fee so that doesn't hold you up.
