My fiance will be arriving to the US in November and i'm trying to prepare myself for all the various things that i will need to take care of in terms of documentation, procedures, etc. Obviously the big one is the adjustment of status, getting married, and miscellaneous things like adding her to my insurances, what other big things will i need to do along these lines for her once she enters the country?

First.go.to ss office with a completed form for requesting a ssn. Do not sign the ssn form at home!!!! You also need the I-94.

After that get married. You dont need to wait for the card to arrive. 

After that you can follow this guide. https://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos/

 

 

Edit: here is the guide of how to get a SSN https://www.visajourney.com/content/ssn/

A good guide on what and when to do things after your K1 Fiancee arrives in the US can be found her: https://www.visajourney.com/content/k1flow/ . Keep in mind that the stated timeline may not be current. However, the sequence of the steps will successfully guide you through all the way to your AOS interview.

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)

Always SSN first.

 

And then..

 

-marriage license

-wedding

-marriage certificate 

-file i-485 (with i-131 and i-765)

 

-add her to everything important (health insurance etc), but also everything "non-important" (like your Costco membership, bills, bank account etc) as you might need that for the AOS interview, and you will definitely need it for the next immigration process (ROC) 2 years down the line from when the AOS is approved. The earlier you start gathering evidence of bonafide marriage the better.

Draft wills, powers of attorney, HIPAA releases, and similar documents.

These will come in extremely handy during Removal of Conditions later.

They're even more crucial to have in "life."

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."
