Not filing AOS from K-1 or K-3 status

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello all! I have been in the USA since 2002 on an F-1 visa, I have read the guides on AOS for my situation and feel pretty confident my fiancee and I can do it. My F-1 visa expires in May and we would be getting married soon. I would just like to hear or see other peoples' experiences or timelines that have filed for AOS while in the USA on a visa other than K-1 or K-3. How long do you have after the F-1 visa expires and the AOS package needs to be sent in?

Thank you all in advance!

Anytime after your visa expires you can be deported if caught.

If I were you I would get the AOS filed ASAP to avoid the risk. If you get caught after your visa expires and haven't filed then it will make it that much more difficult to get a visa after you are married and you would have to spend the time away from your spouse.

I just wanted to say hello... I am a US Citizen and my boyfriend from Canada came to visit me on a B-2 visitor visa on Feb 20. A few days after he got here I convinced him that we should get married :) Now we are looking at all the fun stuff involved in doing a AOS so that he can stay here. I'd love to hear details of how things are going with your AOS.

Lacking a marriage to a USC, anyone who has an overstay will be precluded from adjusting there status without the benefit of a waiver.

YMMV

My visa (VWP) expired 3 days after my marriage and I did not apply for AOS until almost 2 months later. Not sure if it would have made any difference or not but I kept a copy of my Marriage Certificate with me all times and didn't drive during the time I was overstaying, "just in case". I got approved on Feb 28th and got my Green Card a few weeks later. My only REAL issue was that I could not leave the U.S. while I was waiting for my AOS to get approved.

05-02-2004 Met in Östersund, Sweden
09-07-2007 Got married in Eden Gardens State Park, Santa Rosa Beach, FL
