Hello everybody,

thanks again for your support. I already posted about AOS earlier. My k-1 visa expires on 24th of August. So that means i need to get married plus get my AOS done? OR can i i get married until 24th of August and filel for AOS like three days before my visa expiration?

Thanks a lot :)

K-1 visas expire on entry. Your I-94 (I guess this is what you say expires in august) is a different thing,

you had 90 days to get married once you entered the US. Did you do so?

I entered the U.S but didn't get married yet. our marriage date in August. My question is it still okay if i file for AOS three days before my I-194 expires?

It's your I-94 that expires August 24, not your visa. The visa is dead. You may file AOS anytime you like. There is no requirement to file it before the I-94 expires. However, you must marry within the 90 days or leave. Those are the terms of the visa. You can't file AOS until you have a marriage certificate and all other documents ready.

I entered US on 27th May & my I-94 expires on 25th August. We are getting married on 22nd August. WE left it late so that all our family & friends could make it to our wedding.

We will be filing AOS 24th August on condition we can get certified copies of our marriage certificate on that day. If not then we'll have to wait until we can get copies.

You would be getting married 2 days before your I-94 expires. In all seriousness, you are cutting it waaaay too close.

thanks :) i didn't get what do you mean?

What would you do if something happens you don't get married before the 90 days.

2 days prior, say there is a major snowstorm (with all the global warming) :) and you can't make it to the place to get the certificate?

that is what Len mean I believe.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

AOS need not be filed before the I-94 expires. Many file it months later with no problem. Only the legal marriage must occur before the 90 days is up. Even then, AOS can be filed concurrent with an I-130 and still be successful.
