Now, your SO has landed on U.S., what to do next?

If you are holding on a K1 VISA, you need to:
-Get SSN
-Married in 90 days
-File in I-485 for adjustment of status (AOS)
Note: the I-94 you get at the airport allows you to work in that 90 days but llots of places won't hire you as they don't want to risk hiring somone illeagal. However, after the 90 days and before you get your temporary green card, you need to file in I-765(EAD) for work permanant if you want to work. And you will also need to file in I-131(AP) for advance parole if you plan to leave the country before your green card issued.
