What should I do now

[joannaliu]

Hi guys

 

I arrived in the States on Sep18th with K1 and we got married on Sep24th. I understand that we have to get married within 90 days after my arrival. I have been searching for info about what to do and still not too clear. So my questions are: 1), About the SSN. Can you apply for that before you send out the I-485? If so, what form should I fill out or what phone calls should I make? 2), What forms should be sent out together with I-485 to USCIS? I guess basically I just want to know what should I do next? I have found so much info and so many forms but I am confused of what comes first.

Go to the Social Security office SOON and apply for an SS card. You have about 85 days after arrival to do this.

1) Yes, you can apply for SSN within 76 days after entry.

 

2) I-765 for EAD, I-131 for AP if you want to travel and re-enter the USA, US Citizen spouse provides I-864, K-1 holder provides another G-325A

 

VJ has an Excellent Step By Step guide:

And for EAD:

I-765 and I-131 dont cost anything when included with and based on the I-485. I-765 gets coded (c )(9 ) based on pending I-485.

Actually about 76 days, they wont issue a number within 2 weeks of the I-94 card's expiration.

But 90 - 15 is 85, isn't it ??!?
