Marriage 3 days before K-1 Expires?

[JULIAFERNO 0]

My fiance and I were going to try to do a civil ceremony at city hall this Friday, as I am off of work that day, but I just called to find out that they only perform civil ceremonies Mon-Thurs around 12 noon. The next time we'd be able to do it is Monday, May 18th and his K-1 expires on May 21st. Could this pose a problem?

[^KK^ 3]

Not if the date is within the 90 days given. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

Wow - that is cutting it close.

Do you all ready have the license?

Wow - that is cutting it close.

Do you all ready have the license?

Yes, we already have the license. Are there any other quick, inexpensive and informal options other than city hall? I don't feel comfortable cutting it that close either,

Find a Justice of the Peace in the phone book. They can do a ceremony for a small fee usually. My aunt married us and she is a JOTP. I am not sure of the cost ... she didnt charge us!

Shouldn't matter as long as it's done before the 90 days. My cousin got married right at the 90 day mark...they had no issues.

There is nothing wrong with 'cutting it close' as long as you're married before the 90 day expiration date on his I-94. The stipulations of the K-1 visa is that you marry w/in the 90 days...three days before is fine.

Yes - no problem, if everything works out.

If you have an issue, 3 days is not a lot of time to play with

Oh - I was looking at this guy to do the signing for Umit and me.

Short-notice informal ceremony -- No set price - donations accepted

You may come to my home where I will perform a short ceremony. Short-notice may only be scheduled one or two days in advance. This is a very informal setting and I am usually dressed in very casual attire. That is often sandals and shorts in warm weather or jeans and sweatshirts at other times. Witnesses are not required in Ohio but you may bring up to 2 guests.

I hope you meant I-94 expries as the K-1 expiration date is not the important one as it relates to the marriage event.

Yes, I-94.

Then state that from the very beginning....your original statement is implies that there is some unwritten rule 'to marry well within the 90 day deadline'. The rules of the K-1 visa are clear in that the marriage must take place w/in the 90 day window stamped in the I-94. It is up to each person to figure out what's needed and how to get married in their state. You can marry the day before the 90 days are up (and probably even the day of) and it would be considered acceptable.
