there is no deadline to file AOS when adjusting from a K-1. The deadline applies to getting married. You must marry withing 90 days of entering the US, you can wait to apply for AOS, but must take into consideration that you will be 'out of status' during the time it takes for your AOS to be adjudicated.

good luck

As long as you married within the 90 days, you should be fine. Delaying the I-485 filing beyond 90 days, while certainly not advisable, is generally not a problem.

If you didn't marry within 90 days of entry, you will also need to file an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative together with your I-485 and pay the $355 fee in addition to the $1010 AOS fee.

The I-129F visa, as do all visas, have an expiration. They are generally valid for a period of 4 months as an entry document. The specific duration of the visa is stamped on your I-94 card you received at the port of entry. Technically, if you do not file for adjustment of status within that time frame you would be considered out of status, or illegal. This time frame is usually 90 days from the date of entry. So long as the the lapse, if there is one, beyond the 90 days is within reason there should not be any issues.

Not illegal...just out of status.

Sorry for not being PC, but being out of status is an offense which can and does lead to incarceration if apprehended. Hence, illegal. Not that it matters in the instant case. Just an FYI and precautionary note to the sponsor and beneficiary. The most obvious solution is render the forms and items requested by USCIS within the time restraints given.

If you are even one day out of status, avoid traveling within a 100-mile zone by either border, especially the border with Mexico. The Customs & Border Protection agents will pounce, and they do NOT have a sense of humor about such matters.

Absolutely true. Hit a checkpoint with an expired visa and you get some free jewelry. No, it won't be like that 2 ct engagement ring or Rolex you decided to keep. Nope, but if you like silver bracelets, you'll fit right in. And no, you won't be able to con them out of any money with BS amorsito serenades either. Ain't that right Erika? Better hope USCIS doesn't find out about a stay in the hospital due to an amphetamine addiction. That might make someone inadmissible. I wonder, does Mr. Reynalds know all the little dirty secrets.

I've been seeing this "100-mile zone/radius" CBP checkpoints? Where did this figure come from? Is there a written document on this? Im assuming there is none because why would CBP warn illegal aliens not to travel within a 100 mile zone near any border because they have checkpoints there?!

There are lots of checkpoints on the main roads within close proximity of Mexico and Canada. But, that ain't all. DHS has stepped up security through out the country. With the number of visa applications way down they have time to investigate each one a little more intensely. I wonder if the OP mentioned their method of initial contact to the interviewer. After all, international dating sites are subject to IMBRA. A failure to disclose that fact or if it's brought to their attention afterwords may cause an AOS to be denied on the basis of fraud. If I were the sponsor, as I was being led to believe at one point, I'd look into things a little more thoroughly. It be a shame to find out all that money was wasted. So, how is Ohio Erika? Small world, isn't it?

If you have a personal dispute, please take it offline or to PM. It is not constructive on here to pick fights.

OP has posted variants of her story on other immigration related boards. It is humorous to entertain the slant provided here.

For the purposes of THIS argument (entering on a K-1, marrying w/in 90 days but not filing AOS immediately) it does mean out of status....not illegal. As far as I know, if you're in possession of a marriage certificate which shows you married within 90 days of entering on a K-1, it does not lead to incarceration, as you say....hence not illegal.

The time restraints and requirements of a K-1 visa are that you get married within 90 days of entering the US....the visa does not specify that you must also file AOS within those same 90 days. It is recommended that you do file for AOS as soon as possible, to have the benefits that come with the Green Card, but it is not a specific requirement of the visa, nor are there any specific 'time restraints' placed on this filing.
