I don't know if this has been answered before or not but I want to know can you apply for a green card before you apply for AOS.

I heard you can but it will only be a temporary one. And I know then cost will be more just want to know.

When you apply for AOS you are applying for a 2 year temp green card.

But can you file seperately for a green card then do your AOS at a later date?

Are you wanting to work before you get your green card???? You can apply for a EAD card so you can work before you do your AOS, but you would be spending more money in the long run, and not saving much time.

Yes I'm thinking of that. And if you can now long does it last?

The EAD usually gets approved within 90 days. It's good for a year.

If you get married asap after entry you can file for EAD and have it in about 2-3 months at the earliest.

I don't think that's quite correct. If you apply for EAD at the SAME TIME as AOS, then it's good for a year (or until you get the greencard). If you apply for it on its own (without/before AOS) it's only good for as long as your I94 is valid, which is about as long as it takes to get it. So you pay for it separately, and then might get to use it for a couple of weeks only before I94 expires.

Yep to the above. An EAD before AOS only lasts until the date on the I-94. It's a total waste of money.

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package

Don't file for the EAD before you file for AOS. It will cost you $380 and expire when the I-94 does. Since the I-94 is good for 90 days, and it takes 60-90 days to receive the EAD, then you can see there is no time to even use it. A complete waste of money. When you file for the EAD with the I-485, the fee for the EAD is waived. http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos

~ Moved from K-1 Process to AOS from Family Based Visas- topic is about AOS ~

Do yourself a big favor and read the VJ and USCIS guides on the process of AOS what it includes. Empower yourself.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.
