My husband was here on business visa with his parents, do I file a Adjustment of Status or a K-#?

My husband and I got married a couple of days ago, and his mother says there is a time limit of 90 days to begin filing the correct paperwork, but none of us know what the correct paperwork is. Do I start with an AOS since he already has a visa? What forms go with that, and what are the fees? Where do I turn them in?

No such time limit, if he is here on business does he not have a job to go back to, things to finalise etc?

What are you looking to do? Is the intent that he quits his job and stays.

The Guides have most of the information, if you do not want to DIY with the investigation that requires then a lawyer may be a good idea.

You said your hubby WAS here. Is he home now? Makes a HUGE difference!

Still is here, we just leased a house. He's been here for nearly 5 years and the visa is up for renewal in March.

The business is here. His family came over when he was 14 to start a business and have been here ever since. We met last fall and everything moved in really quick. The visa is up for renewal in March.

As long as you can show he entered the US with no intentions of marrying you you won't have any problems. Submit a I-485, I- 864 and I-130 and the other documents that go with adjusting status. I recommend he NOT leave the US until he has the GC.

E2?

L?

and he is under 21?

sounds like he just need to adjust status through marriage to a USC.

Like the others said, there is no time limit for filing AOS after marrying a US Citizen. But best to do it as quickly as possible because it is more convenient for his life to continue smoothly in USA.

Go to "Guides" tab at the top of this page. Look under "Immigration Guides for a Spouse or Fiance(e)" then click on "US Citizen and Spouse both live/reside in the US". Read everything carefully and proceed accordingly:

AOS Guide

You can also take a look under "Special Circumstances" at "Adjusting of Status from other Visa Types":

AOS From Other Visa Types

As you fill in all the many pages of paperwork, check out the "Example Forms" tab because that will answer a lot of questions you may have!

Best wishes and good luck!
