My fiancée is in the US now and we are planning to get married December 7th. Should I wait till then to start any other paper work towards residency (AOS) or is there something I can go ahead and do in the mean time while the day comes.. (Work permit, SS, AP, ect...)

 

Thanks!!!

So the stamp that she has would be equivalent to the i-94 because she didn't get another physical paper receipt.
