Click the word 'Guides' at the top of this screen, and study a bit...

The enumeration of things and steps are listed in the Adjustment of Status Guide (K1 & K3 Visa Holders) Guide, but you have to click something to read it.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Here's what Chinook and I did:

> About a week after Chinook arrived in the U.S., we went down to the Social Security office and Chinook applied for a Social Security number. She got her Social Security card a couple of weeks later.

> We went down down to the county Clerk's office and got a marriage license.

> A week later, we got married.

> A few days after we got married, we went back to the county clerk's office and picked up a couple of official copies of our marriage certificate.

> Then we went back to the Social Security office. Chinook presented our marriage certificate and filed for a name change in order to change her Social Security card to her married name. Her new Social Security card arrived in the mail less than two weeks later.

> Then Chinook filed to adjust her status.
