Marriage completed, what do we do now?

[RichardAndBethany 0]

In particular, do we have to mail a copy of the marriage license to an office or is it already recorded in the system? Thanks

You read and read and read so you understand the process.

Guide here, you need to adjust your status. Cost $1,070 and yes they need a copy of your marriage certificate.

There is no centralized "system" for marriage certificates in the US.

Please follow the guide. There will be a lot more to do than just sending a marriage certificate. Get to reading and best of luck.

☆☆Post moved from K1 to AOS from family visas. Open is asking about that part of the journey.

No nationwide marriage registration for the US. Your marriage license will be turned into the local county court once you are married, and it will be registered there for the county and state. Nothing else to do. You will include a copy of the certified marriage certificate with your AOS form that you receive back from the court once your marriage is registered with them.

Print out your I-94 info > https://i94.cbp.dhs....94/request.html

Follow this guide for getting the SSN > http://www.visajourney.com/content/ssn

Follow this guide for AOS > http://www.visajourn...content/k1k3aos

The fees are listed here > http://www.uscis.gov/i-485

The fees for the I-765(EAD-work authorization) and I-131(AP-advance parole for travel) are waived when filed with a pending I-485, so include both of those too. It takes about 60-90 days to receive the EAD/AP combo card, which will allow you to work(along with an SSN) and re-enter the US when traveling abroad while waiting for the green card approval.

You need all the supporting documents for each form as well, so read the instructions for each one. You can also search here on VJ for what to include with each form if you get stumped. There are also example forms here on VJ you can look at when filling out the forms. They can be helpful.

And here are the details you need about whether or not you need to see a civil surgeon > http://www.visajourn...-3025-or-i-693/
