K1 AOS soon

[LarryHickman 181]

I was wondering my K1fiancé and I get married next weekend her POE was 2/23. We have no plans for her to work so we need to just do AOS. What timeframe does need to be and what documents do we need? I’m assuming a copy of the marriage license once we get it back from the county, what else do we need? I’m a little concerned reading she needs medical for the AOS, I thought once she did the medical pre embassy interview we didn’t have to do anymore medical checks? 

 

Thanks

Keep in mind, if you dont apply for EAD/AP she cannot work, drive (in MANY states) or leave the US and re-enter AT ALL until she gets her GreenCard which can take 1 to 2 years.

The I765 and I131 are free if filed with the I485, so it's best to take the 20 minutes to fill them out and send them along.

The guides for filing I485/I864, I765, I131 can be found here:

**you only need photocopies of your original MC for each form submission, not originals.

I would highly recommend submitting the paperwork for AP and EAD anyway.  Better to have it just in case.

Not filling up EAD and AP along with AOS is just... lazy and reckless imo. ANY emergency happens and your spouse cannot leave US. She doesn't want to get a driving license either? You want her to be stuck at home doing nothing for a year?

I can think of zero reasons to avoid filing the I-765 and I-131.   I can think of many reason to file them.........

What is she supposed to do until she has her Green Card? 

I'd suggest to also apply for EAD/AP. Better safe than sorry.

I'm having trouble waiting for my EAD which will take 5.5 months for it to be approved I'm predicting. I cant imagine having to sit at home without being able to leave the house for 2 years which is how long my GC is predicted to take at my Local Field Office. That's inhumane.

It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever to file for AOS without also filing the I-131 and I-765.    I don't understand why anyone would want to file the I-485 alone......

Ok I didn’t realize I should file all three and the importance until now so we will file all three, thanks guys. 

 

Back the my question, does my fiancé need additional medical checks? I have read people are doing more medical checks of some nature when the do AOS. She had a medical before her embassy interview in February.

Medical is good for 1 year. Maybe what you read was some didn't complete. But long as you adjusted before a year you are good.
