Where did you guys get married, in the states or in UK. My fiance and I we are trying to see which way is best, any advice will appreciated. Thanks
Hi all,
I married my wonderful US citizen husband in March and applied for AOS, AP and EAD on March the 14th. I've had my biometrics appointment, and just received my appointment date for the AOS interview on June the 13th. I've not yet been approved for the AP, and heard from an attorney (though we made the application without an attorney) that USCIS sometimes reject AP applications if the AOS is very close to being approved or rejected, and that if the AOS application is approved before the AP would have been (but the passport not stamped), the AP would then be rejected. I'm meant to be traveling to the UK shortly after the interview date to have a blessing ceremony for our wedding, with 70 guests, the church, the big dress, the reception, etc... and now I'm really worried that as my interview is earlier than I had expected, I may not be able to travel at that time.
Also, I think I'm going to have to change my UK passport when I'm in the UK to get a new one in my married name (stupid university rules!), and so would then not have any green card stamp in the valid passport, and I'm guessing I wouldn't be allowed to travel on a stamp in an invalidated passport?
I'm so worried about all of this. We'd thought we'd done the right thing with the whole courthouse wedding here so that we could apply for the AOS and AP and then travel to the UK for a blessing... and now I think we may have got it horribly wrong.
Need to travel soon after GC interview, no AP through yet
