Today, the Chicago immigration office will be receiving our Adjustment of Status paperwork.
After arriving in the US with a fiance visa, an immigrant has 90 days to get married to their intended spouse. They have a right to remain in the US, technically, until their landing card (i-94) runs out. In order to legally remain, the “adjustment of status” paperwork has to be submitted.
Our filing involves a request to adjust residence status to permanent, authorization to be hired by an American employer and for authorization to travel and return to the US.
It’s a shorter waiting game than the fiance visa was. We expect everything to be done by the middle of 冬瓜怎么做好吃.
In the meantime, once our paperwork is received and entered, we can start watching it’s progress through the USCIS tracking system. Hopefully, all the paperwork is what they need and there will be no “requests for information” along the way.

lol…. That would be pretty upsetting. Some people do skip over the fiance visa, get married and then live apart while waiting for a spouse visa. I'm glad we went the fiance route instead. I'm not sure I'd be able to handle the separation as a married couple.

After we got married, Marie stayed in our home town while I went back to Seattle. Fortunately it was only for a week.

Where was your home town? It would be awful to be separated after getting married… even for a week. 🙂
