After marrying, an Adjustment of Status (using a USCIS form I-485[2]) must be filed that will convert the
K1 fiancee and K2 children status to that of Conditional Lawful Permanent Resident Status, e.g., a green
card. It can take as long as a year after the filing of a correct I-485 to be invited to a local USCIS Office
for an interview of the Petitioner, K1 fiancee, and any K2 children. The interviewer is essentially
interested in ascertaining if the marriage is legitimate, and will ask questions a genuine couple should have
no issue answering, for example, Who normally does the grocery shopping?, What night does the garbage go
out?, When was the last time your spouse took the day off work?. If the interview goes well, the I-551
green card will arrive in the mail in a few weeks - although post September 11, this time has been increased
due to a backlog in CIA processing of background checks. If the Petitioner or the fiancee does not attend the
Interview, the fiancee will lose legal status and must leave the US.
