If your husband is in the US, you should have filed AOS right along
with the I-130. If he is in his native country, you do not need to
file AOS.

Re: 130 question
Thank you, first my husband is a citizen of
Canada ....been here almost a year, and we were told that we had to wait
by the service center to wait until the 130 is approved which it is now
to apply for his 10 year green card...
we have the paper work ready to go to Memphis to apply for AOS.
if we dont have to apply for the AOS how does he get his extenstion on
his green card. and
he wants to become a citizen of the US as
soon as possible........
his temporary ead card is good until March 2025

Re: 130 question
Hi Brenda
It still does not make sense to me. On what basis did he get the EAD? Did he file I-485(AOS) along with I-130. If he did then I understand that he got EAD based on pending AOS.
Anyways. Best was to apply I-485 alnog with I-130. But now assuming that you had only applied I-130 and it got aproved. Your spouse(canadian) will need to apply for AOS form I-485. Once you aply that USCIS will call you for fingerprinting within 6 months period and then after another 6 month-12 monthns they will schedule him/you for interview. If at the time of interview 2 years have passed since your marrage they will give him 10 year green card (in about 2-3 weeks). If not then conditional green card and then youboth wil have to apply for removing conditions by filing I-751.
Once he gets green card. he has to live in this country for 3 continous years with ocassional leaving f\of country for less than 6 months and then file for citizenship.
ANYWAY, please let us know how does he have EAD? Also would appreciate if you post your I-130 time line along with place where you filed it.

Re: 130 question
Lady, are you drunk?
First you said the Congressional Aide said you could NOT apply for
AOS, now you say she said you can. Now you are talking about a ten
year EAD card good until 2025? An EAD card and a green card are
completely different things. He cannot apply for citizenship until he
has a green card.
What has been you husband's status all the time he has waited for the
I-130? If he does not have immigrant status he must adjust, which he
probably should have done long ago.

Re: 130 question
NO I am not drunk ......I did not reread my post. I was the one that
made the mistake it should read.....after the 130 was approved the lady
in the congressman's office told us we CAN APPLY FOR THE AOS.... it is
all my fault and i am sorry I confused you and my self as well....
when he got in the states last March we filed the I -765 which allowed
him to get his ead
card.....
so sorry again for confusing you...

One option open to you is for him to return to his home country to apply for an Immigrant Visa. This eliminates all the AOS BS; when he return to the US with it, he will receive his Green Card (usually within a month).
Please please go to visajourney.com and read the K3 AOS FAQ

So Adjust Status. You could have done that last March.

Re: 130 question
We were advised by the Ins service center and our congressman's office
not to apply for the AOS until the 130 was approved....
What is after the 130/? Will the AOS allow him to get the 10 year
green card sooner/permanent residences .... or will he have to renew it
in March of next year..
I dont know what I am doing I am so confused.
Please help

Brenda, Meauxna's post is the one you should pay attention to. I second the idea about going back to the beginning of the NG and read up on the process in the FAQ threads that Rete has posted, that would answer many of your questions. They are the result of a lot of hard work on the part of helpful individuals and are there for a reason.
