AOS delay in filing after K-1 marriage here.

[HAL 9000 96]

Hey guys

A friend of mine brought his fiancee over last December from Mexico. They married (K-1) in January. But, they did not submit the AOS paperwork. Now they want to do so. I think I've read some posts somewhere that its no problem... that the date of marriage was the only thing critical to fulfilling the K-1 requirements... but they are concerned whether or not to seek legal representation to avoid any problems in the AOS timeframe due to red flags that may arise as a result of their own delay.

Comments?

They always have the option to seek comeptant legal counsel at anytime if anything arises. The can go it alone and if something happens, they get help.

They're fine as long as they got married within the 90 days.

Yeah that's what I told them. I'll be looking over the paperwork on Sunday to see if there is anything I can't remember from our AOS stuff. No charge. Well, OK... free Mexican Food.

Yes, its correct. They can file AOS after 90 days of entry as long as they were married prior to 90 days.
