Adjustment of Status

[Lisa-O 8]

Hey Everyone,

Just sitting down to do my AOS pack and I have a couple of questions (again? I know)...I'm currently in the US, married etc, but would like to go back to the UK asap to have a wedding party there...now I understand I have to adjust my status, and was under the impression this would take aprx 4 months...but lookig again and talking to people who have been through the same thing, they suggested a year!!! How long usually is it until I get the all clear to go back?

So going through my pack, I have copy of passport, K1, birth cert, marriage cert, I-129f:. have completed: G-1145, I-485, G-325a, I-864, I-765...now do I complete I-131, or is this just for business and emergencies...I dont think Homeland would consider a party as an emergency LOL!!!

Any advice would be fantastic thanks in advance

Yes, the I-131(Advance Parole-AP) is for re-entry to the US when traveling. File the I-765 and I-131 at the same time as the I-485 and the fees for those 2 forms are waived so you just pay the total of $1070 for the i-485. It takes about 2-3 months to receive the EAD/AP after filing for AOS. http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos

Smashing - that's great thanks...I was questioning the 'optional' part of the checklist, and when I was reading the instructions it didn't sound right, but after reading again it makes sense, form filled and put in pack...phew, glad that's done, thanks for your help enjoy the weekend!!!
