Hello
So I heard about this new law that's only lasting from aug 1 to aug 15. That a US citizen can petition for his/her silbling and the whole process will be completed within one year. I have done research about this and haven't found much on it, so I will like to know if this is true???

How to Adjust Status (AOS)
(For K1 Visa Holders)
Understanding Adjustment of Status:
After marrying your US citizen spouse (within 90 days) within the United States, you have file for Adjustment of Status.
The Adjustment of Status (AOS) Process is designed for the Visa Holders to change their original entry status. In this case, K1 holders entered on the U.S. on a 1-entry visa and need to change their status so they can gain benefits (such as employment, travel privileges, and most importantly Permanent Residence.) First read the AOS Guide: (Very Important!)

Just follow the guide step-by-step. It's a lot of work but do 1 thing at time. Most people do all 3 at once. It’s the best option!
So if you're doing all 3 (Green Card, Employment Card, & Advance Parole), attach all the required documents with each application and mail together in same packet to the correct address.
The Medical Exam application needs to be completed by K1 visa holder and a local Civil Surgeon. Search for the closet Civil Surgeon near you using the link below.

I paid about $75 for them to complete the forms. Try to find the best deal, some places will try and over-charge you. Most people who file should have just got there Medical done in the Dominican Rep and if they got all their required vaccinations and shots they will not need to get it again (if it’s under 1 year). So remind them you just need to have the Civil Surgeon complete their portion of the I-693. Make sure the K1/K3 Visa Holder has their Medical History form called DS-3025 (given to them after Medical Exam in Santo Domingo).
Remember to gather all of the correct documents. Each form (I-485, I-765, & I-131) require certain things. You will need to have 2 passport photos for each form. Total of 6. Have the packet organized so everything is labeled and easy to find. I'm including the Cover Letter/Checklist I made with my Packet. Feel free to use it.

Checking your Case Status
After your AOS Packet is sent, you will go through a similar process as before. More waiting and more preparation. (and you thought you were all done?) Once you receive your NOA1, you can check your “case status” on www.UCSIS.gov. You will also receive updates through email and/or text if you chose to submit the Form G-1145 (E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance).

Each state has its own set of rules and regulations when it comes to the issuance of DL and ID cards. In this case the DMV is requesting proof of residence, which he can't yet provide for at this time he is not a resident of the US.
Your fiance can use his current DL in the US for the time being. Once you get married and start the AOS process he should receive his EAD which will afford him the status of resident and with which he will be able to get a DL.
It takes a little time and patience. Good luck!

i'm so glad i found this website it has helped me alot emotionally because everyone here is going through something similar and is away from a loved one
