I read that you must start AOS right after marriage. Is this true? I had planned on me and my fiancee to have our marriage at some point during three month visa and then file for AOS at the start of the final month. I need a little time to save a bit in order to pay the associated fees. So the question remains does it matter when you file for AOS as long as it is within the 3 month timeframe?

By the way, I thank everyone for and visa journey for aid in this entire journey. And I wish speedy approval and good luck for all who are waiting to see their significant others.

The only time limit is to get married within 90 days.

There is no time limit to file AOS (although you should file as soon as you are able).

You must get married in 90 days. The longer you wait on AOS, the longer it will take for you to be able to work or get your green card.

To fulfill the requirements of the K1 visa program, the alien beneficiary has to marry their USC petitioner within 90 days of the beneficiary's US arrival (POE). As others have mentioned, the general forum recommendation is that, after marriage, to file for Adjustment of Status (AOS) as soon as you are able.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)
