Time Limit on Filing for AOS

[John24689 0]

I have already applied for and received my wife's GC. I know there is a time limit when applying for the 10 year GC. A friend was telling me that there was no time limit after you get married to when you file for Adjustment of Status to get a GC. He said some wait for a year or two or longer after they are married. In fact, I think he said you do not have to file for AOS unless you want a GC. Is there a time limit? I can't find one. Thanks in advance.

You HAVE to apply to adjust status within 3 months before the expiration date of the 2 year GC. If you don't you will be deported.

We called USCIS and asked about that, they said within 1 year since you got in the US, but lots of people said it doesn't have time limit at all. The only problem is if you apply after a year, you will need to take a complete medical exam cos it is only good for 12 months. You'd be out of status while you didn't apply for AOS but you won't be deported from the US.
