AOS...

[Teffah 5]

Ok, so I am a little nervous. I just recieved a private message from someone, who I believe was trying to be very helpful. I was told that I was probably cutting it to close to our 90 days for our wedding. Bijad will come in on February 27th but we are not getting married until May 22nd, 2010. We are only 5 days short of our 90 days. I was under the impression as long as we are MARRIED within the 90 days we were ok... I was told, in the private message, that if you did not adjust status with in that 90 days, Bijad could be deported back to Morocco?!!!! They said they knew someone that was deported back because they did not file AOS within that 90 days!

OMG! Help!

This thread might be better in AOS. I've been reading a lot over there in that forum since it's our next step. I also am reading the Moving Here and Your New Life In America for tips on POE.

This thread is AOS answers your questions: AOS When to file and how long it takes

The thread squeaky posted is a good one too because it explains what being out of status means. I think if you get a certificate the day of marriage and it's before the 90 days and file the AOS paperwork before the 90 days with the certificate and you keep the receipt of when you filed then you may be ok and he won't be out of status. It may either depend on when you sent the paperwork off and when they received it and processed it. I don't know if you want to risk cutting it close for him to become out of status.

For us with the K3 his visa is good for 6 months to travel so it will expire in August. I believe we have to file AOS within this time frame so then they would be processing it and he would get his green card and not be out of status.

Olivia~ K3 has 2 full years to activate the visa!

Only K1 &Cr1 need to travel in the 6 month timeframe. (good thing too cuz Ibrahim could not leave Jordan for 7 months after his visa was issued)

From your timeline I see you're giving yourself 5 days for them to get the paperwork and process it. If you overnight express it with signature notification that they received it you'll have that at least that it was within the 90 day time frame. I'm not sure what their turn around time is on processing the paperwork though.

I remember that from when Ibrahim was coming after the 6 months time frame and you called about that but Waleed's visa says it expires in August which is 6 months from when it was issued? Did your husbands say that too? I think we're on the IR-1 track possibly because when we file for AOS they're going to see that we're married for over 3 years now even though his visa says K3 on it.

Olivia~~on his visa page that has the K3 on it...the expiration is 2 years out. Strange, I wonder why Waleeds is 6 months.

Thanks J. ~ He took a picture of it for me and I just checked it again and it says 6 months out. I think it's because they're considering when we file AOS that we're married for over 3 years so we've passed the 2 year requirement for the IR-1 visa which qualifies us for the 10 year green card instead of the 2 year conditional.

We're heading to da 10 year card too! Our 2nd wedding anniversary is next month !

Awe! Happy early anniversary then! Are you going to wait to file AOS after that date too so you can get the 10 year card? We're working on the AOS paperwork now to make sure he brings what he needs from Egypt and then we can file in March when he arrives so we'll be March AOS filers!

The 2 year window is at 'approval' so we can file in February~~~see you over on the AOS Progress forum.

*sorry for hijacking your thread Bijad & Teresa

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

Thanks makes sense Jackie. I didn't forget about your question Teresa. I'm still looking for an answer.

I found this thread doing a search on "out of status" it's on filing AOS and getting an RFE and being out of status after that.

Also there is a pinned topic by Ewok in AOS that has out of status information in it. I haven't looked through it yet because it's more lengthy but it came up in my search.

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

Ok I got your answer from that thread on page 10. Unless things have changed since 2008 you should be fine.

Start at post #141 and read on. Enjoy! http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...t&p=2460540
