AOS apply deadline...

[lilysintrigue 0]

Hello all,

I have a quick question.. My husband and I just wed last week, and we are wondering when we need to file for the aos, as he's been here since May13 and the stamp on his passport says Aug 10 .. does that mean we have to file for the aos by that date, or can we wait until mid August to file ... Do you have to file for the aos within the 90 days?? Just curious..

Kind Regards,

Shawna & Chris

6.1)...How soon after we get married should we apply for Adjustment of Status?

A..Right away, or at least right after your honeymoon. You should make every effort to get the Adjustment application filed within 90 days of the fiance(e) entering the United States, which is when the K-1 status expires, as indicated on the I-94.

Filing for Adjustment of Status within the 90 days protects your legal status. Your legal status as a K1 expires after 90 days, married or not. The only way to protect your legal status is to apply for Adjustment of Status, and the only way to maintain continuous legal status is to file for AOS before the K1 visa expires. On the practical side, it is often difficult to arrange for the marriage, and get all the paperwork ready in time to file for AOS within 90 days. Many newsgroup couples have filed for AOS a few days or weeks after the 90 day limit with no problems. Thus far, newsgroup experience has shown this is not a major issue with local USCIS (INS) offices.

No. Just file when you can. There really is no time limit
