  is now my British Hubby :)) He arrived Dec 29th and we were married
  Feb 7th. To those who are still waiting on K-1s to come through- after
  you are together all that time apart fades into a memory so keep
  looking up! :) To those of you who have already gone through all this,
  we need some help please.
  
  Janadeen has given you the URL for
  the FAQ. Not only does it deal with the K-1 visa but also continues on
  with what is required for filing for AOS. There is also a link for
  filing experiences for various district offices throughout the US.
  That, as well, might be helpful.
  What papers do we need to
  fill out next now that we are married? He applied for his SSN when he
  first got here so he has banking etc set up, he has not applied for
  his EAD yet though because I was thinking he had to wait til after we
  were married.
  
  Correct assumption
  Am I correct that
  he will need to apply for a new ssn after getting permission to
  work?
  
  Incorrect. The ss number will be his for life. After he
  becomes a Permanent Resident he can ask to have the legend "work
  authorized by INS" removed. But the number will remain the same.
  
  I think we file the I-485 adjustment of status and I use the I-
  864 afidavit of support and we should also file the I 765 EAD so he
  can get a job one day! But I am not sure if we send them in together
  to Texas Service center (We are in Ga) or to Atlanta or what- Or the
  timeframe we have to file in :(
  
  The filings do NOT go to the
  service center but to your local district office. For you, this
  apparently is Atlanta. The only posters who must file a service center
  are those people who live in the jurisdiction of the Baltimore, MD
  district office.
  
  As for timeframes, either check out the USCIS page or
  the AILA page or follow the link to Matt Udall's page listed in the FAQ.
  
  Basically I am clueless, the website is making my head spin,
  and I cannot get anyone in the Customer relations (not service by any
  means haha!) department to even answer the phone! Whenever I call they
  say all reps are busy please call beack and hang up. I can't even get
  put on hold! Arg! ANY advice is appreciated! Thank you so much!
  Ravy
  
  If you think you are clueless, then rest assured that
  the telepersonnel who answer the phones at the 1-800 misinformation
  number have even less of a clue than you.

• hi, ravy.
  i dont see any reason why he has to apply another SSN. he
  doesnt change his name, right? and i dont think he has to get new SSN to
  work.
  
  Well after married, you will have to apply for adjustment of
  status. And EAD, if you want him to work. as far as i know, the
  adjustment of status file and EAD file is sent to your local office.
  
  have a nice day,
  anggraeni
