You have six months to use the visa, that is, you must enter the U.S. before the expiry date on your K1. Once you have entered, a new countdown of 90 days begins, during which time you must get married.

Brother, it means you have to enter into USA with your K-1 visa no later than September 16 of this year. Once you are in the USA, you have to get married within 90 days from your arrival date and then you can start doing AOS (Adjustment of Status).

K-1 is valid for 6 months after it is issued, you have 6 months to use the visa. When you enter they USA the visa is USED and is Void. You will then have 90 days in the USA to marry and adjust status.

thanks for ur help
but should i apply adjust of status be sep16th or i will have new day after 90 i enter usa?

Are you seriously going to wait that long to come here???????

Okay, here are the steps for you:

1. Enter into USA by September 16 with your K-1 visa.
2. Get married within 90 days as soon as you enter into USA.

Example: If you enter into USA on June 10, you need to marry your fiancee by September 9. Then you can apply for AOS at your own time, but it is better to apply for AOS as soon as possible after the marriage.

my brother wedding in middle of july
and my wife and son will come to stay in egypt with me during this time
and also i have my won blood test lab so i cant close it once . i have to tell the patients enough time be4 i close it
but i dont know if i can wait that long

sorry it was none of my business i just get aggravated when people have no ap whatsoever and get their visa lickedy split yet don't come for months and here I am waiting over 8 months and have to reschedule surgery because the embassy has their thumb up their azzes. None of my business and I'm just in a p!ssy mood.

There is no time limit to apply for AOS As long as you get married within the 90 days you can apply for AOS whenever you feel like it. Just realize that there will be travel and work restrictions.

You will have 90 days after entering the USA to marry and then adjust status.

birdget i understand your feeling completly but u know that AP has no reason to be and everyone has certain time for his visa to come . Allah only know when . so we shouldnot have any obejction on Allah wants . i know u have fiath in Allah but as u said u seem just in pissy mood .inshaAllah AP will be finished soon for u and get your visa in hand inshaAllah soon . your time is coming
you are in my prayer and everyone else in Ap and still waiting thier visa

Are you clear now about your K-1 visa's expiry date and your things to do after you arrive in the USA?

yes simple male thank you so much for your help and thanks all VJ memebers familly

Hi Mohamed,

What the others have told you is right - You do have a new 90 day period to get married after you arrive in the USA.

The USCIS also expects you to file your application for 'Adjustment Of Status' (AOS) within the same 90 day period, but you must have a copy of your new marriage certificate for the application package. So why not try to prepare the AOS package before the wedding so you are ready ... get married ... add some wedding pictures and a copy of your marriage certificate, send it off immediately (or after the honeymoon, if you have one). Then you can sit back and really relax for the first time in months! If the USCIS does not receive your AOS application within 90 days of your arrival, you are officially 'Out of Status' - who wants that?????

I know it all seems like a rush to get everything done now your visa has arrived ... But do try to send off the AOS application within the 90 days if you can. Some cities take many weeks to return a marriage certificate to couples after their wedding, but that's the only good reason I can think of for a late application.

One last thing - I notice you mentioned your wife and child ? If you are coming to the USA on a K-1 visa it is for fiances to enter the USA to get married ... it is not intended for husbands/wives to use .... It is much safer to call each other fiance, just in case it confuses the USCIS.

Anyway - Congratulations on your visa, by the way!

That's a very good point. The Egyptian consulate is ok with calling her your wife because they are aware of the situation in Egypt where you weren't allowed to marry americans but when you get to your port of entry you need to remember to call her your fiance.

Good luck and sorry for being in a mood. lol

Bridget, you can be in any mood your heart desires. This process makes us loose who we really are sometimes. I am sure that although you are happy for us three today, you must feel a lot of sadness because you are still playing the waiting game and being jacked around by the Embassy.
As I said before to someone, others may take your turn, but they cannot take your time. Your season is about to come and then it will be your time. But it will come!

Bridget while we are all very happy for everyone who gets their visa it is truly hard to sit and watch others fly through the process without even one day of checks. Especially when your wait has been sooooooo long. So we understand the different moods this process can cause. So know we all support you and pray for you everyday.....that your journey will end soon and you will be reunited with your loved one soon. Your in my prayers everyday.

I just wanted to make it clear that the ONLY stipulation is getting married within the 90 days. There is NO time limit when you file AOS. Yes, after 90 days you are out of status, but that does not affect when you apply for AOS.

Yes, you have made a very good point. It is better to file for AOS as soon as possible after the marriage.

you got your visa... yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy.. congratulations
