If you want him to have legal permanent residence here, you do have to do that.

@Shotta558,

 

Congratulations! I know you must be excited and anxious to have your amor hermosa with you.

 

The reason why people are saying that the journey is not over is because they are trying to help. We have seen people think that the visa is the last step in the process only to be in serious trouble when it comes time for the next stage of immigration. We have seen everything from people not being able to adjust status to get a green card after marriage because it cost too much (which leaves their new spouse out of status and deportable until they file)  ... to people who did a K1 taking a honeymoon out of the US with their new spouse not knowing that their spouse could not get back into the US because they did not adjust status (which means their new spouse is stuck back in their country for up to a year while they refile).

 

This is not true. There is a lot more you have to do. In fact, here is a list of all the different forms ->https://www.visajourney.com/content/adjustmentforms/

 

Remember, you fiance only has a visa. A visa is only for entering the US. In order for her to live here legally, she needs a green card. So after you marry her, you need to file for her AOS which is I-485 and cost over $1,200. https://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos/

If she wants to work and travel (or maybe get a driver's license) during her AOS process, she needs to also file for EAD (for work) and AP (for travel).

 

After AOS, you new wife's green card is only good for two years. Which means in 2 years she has to go through a whole new process called ROC. If she doesn't her permanent residency could be in jeopardy.

 

For now, enjoy your the good news and the fact that you will be united with her soon. 

 

Best of luck to you.

 

 

Thanks but I know that already I know she can't leave the country I spoke to the Department of Homeland Security when I first started planning this I know she can't leave the country until her paperwork just completed thank you though I'm just happy that I completed One Step so far

She needs to file that I-485 within 90 days after arrival in the US or she will be subject to deportation......I hope you planned that, too.

I mean, technically all the other things that need to be filed are things the OP's fiancee will have to do (other than attending any required interviews) ... but since they're US government paperwork, helping your fiance(e) (or later, your spouse) as much as you can with them is a good idea. In our case ... I had the forms about 90% filled in before Anastasia got here; just needed to fill in some details I didn't have yet (some were pending her arrival, some pending our marriage and getting a copy of the certificate) and copy one form over to a newer version, so pretty much all she needed to do was review and sign them.
