Congrats and best wishes for your reunion.

I posted this in the AOS but they don't seem to willing to give out help . So the honey is here and we want to get married soon but we are sort of unsure of how the next process goes. So if we get married say February 14th, how long do we have to file the AOS papers? What if we were married closer to the end of his 90 days (end of April) does teh same amount of time apply? Will we have to send the I-864 right away or do we wait until the interview. Anyone who went through St. Paul (rhama and others!) how long did it take from filling to get your interview? Thanks for your help!

We got all the AOS/AP/EAD documents all ready to go before we even got married, and then all we had to attach was the marriage certificate. We got married on Saturday and mailed off our package on Monday morning, after we picked up our marriage certificate. If you want to get your marriage certificate quickly, just ask whoever marries you to give YOU the signed copy of the marriage certificate for you to take to the court house yourself. The person who marries you would normally mail the signed papers in to the court house, and that's where the delay comes in. If you take it to the court house yourself, they will provide you with as many certified copies as you want for a very minimal fee.

So, if you want to get married as close to the end of the 90 days as you can, just prepare all the paperwork now and then you can mail them in right after your wedding.

Good luck.

Congrats and good luck with your daughter's AOS.

My daughter's AOS interview is in three weeks time (Feb. 22)!!!!!

Congrats on a successful interview.

You will not need another medical exam if it's only been 2 months since your K-1 medical exam. If it was longer than one year, then you would require a new one.

You will, however, require the Vaccination Supplement to submit with your AOS application. You can take your immunization records (or a copy of the vaccination worksheet if you have one from your K-1 medical exam) to a civil surgeon in your area and they will prepare the Supplement for you. Call around to find one that will do just the supplement, without requiring you to do another medical exam and also ask for prices, because they vary greatly.

When you submit your AOS application, you can submit the I-131 (Advance Parole) which will allow you to travel outside the U.S. and be readmitted upon your return. Without AP, you must have your Green Card to travel outside the U.S. AP is always approved sooner than AOS, so if you want to travel soon, you should probably apply for it along with your AOS.

Congrats and good luck at the interview.

My husband and I only live 3 hours from Canada where all my family and friends live, so we go there often. Plus, we have a trailer on a Lake in Canada, so we spend many weekends up in Canada from April until October every year.

Just relax.... it will all go well. It's not going to be as bad as you think it is. We all found that out.

Good luck to you both.

Like this new format a lot.

Great JOB!!!!! Thanks for bringing back our "lifeline"!!!!
