After K1 Visa marriage

[Yussf 0]

I need your help

I just married in 3 months with an American woman, we married in USA after we apply for K1 Visa.

We married the same day i enter USA, But till now i didn't apply for Adjustment of Status because we don't have the money ( around $ 1000 )

Now, is it OK if i didn't fill the adjustment of status yet ?

I have my SSN with work authorization, Can i work ?

Do i have to do something that will help my situation here, after marriage ?

Is it fine even my visa expire as i am married and the condition to my visa isn't anymore which is to marry in 3 months ?

Please advice.

Thanks.

I have my SSN with work authorization, Can i work ? Not after the I-94 expires. You must wait until EAD or greencard

Do i have to do something that will help my situation here, after marriage ? I am not sure what you are asking but No

Is it fine even my visa expire as i am married and the condition to my visa isn't anymore which is to marry in 3 months ? As long as you married before the I-94 expired you can file for AOS when able

Please advice.

Thanks.

If you received a work authorization stamp when you came into the USA, it is only good for 90 days. After 90 days (the day the I-94) expires, your work authorization is not valid anymore. At that point you can't work anymore until you receive the EAD or GC. You will not receive the EAD until you apply. When you apply for AOS, the EAD is included in the fee, so just fill out the form (I-765) and you should get it in 60-90 days.

My husband came to the USA in March on his K-1 visa, we got married in June (within the 90 days) and filed the AOS papers in July (which was outside the 90 days)...we have not had any problems because of this so far, but we are glad that we got to the paper work as soon as we could.

If you fill in your Visa Journey timeline people can better advise you, be as thorough as you can.

After i apply for the adjustment of status, do i have to fill any other paper, or make any other payments ?

I already have a conditional SSN, will i have to get a new one once i get the work permit ?

The visa issued in 28 Jul 2008, and i enter USA in 18 August 2008 and the I-94 will expire in 16 Nov 2008...

We plan to apply for adjustment of status in December. is it ok?

I already have a conditional SSN, will i have to get a new one once i get the work permit ? No, but you will when you get greencard

The visa issued in 28 Jul 2008, and i enter USA in 18 August 2008 and the I-94 will expire in 16 Nov 2008... OK

Actually there are more fees later but not until 21 months after your AOS is approved. At that time, you'll file to remove conditions on your permanent residence, as your initial card will expire in two years.

I think you are considered out of status if your visa has expired until you file for AOS. It is the receipt of filing AOS that allows you to be "in status" to stay. You won't really get in trouble immediately, but you are accruing out of status days (or unlawful presence) between expiration of K1 and filing AOS. Don't let too many days go by. This is K1 visa only because of the 90 day thing.
