My fincees visa expired on February 8, and we thought we had until the 15th to get married. Anyone have any ideas what to do next?

You have 90 days after entry into the US to get married. The K1 visa expiry date has no meaning, It is just the date you have to enter the US by.

If the date on her I-94 has expired, then you should get married asap, and then you will have to file some additional paperwork with your AOS. In addition to the I-485 package you would normally have had to submit on a K-1 visa entry, you will also have to submit a I-130 package, for an additional $420 fee, and get a new medical. You would follow this guide:

Good luck and don't panic.

Exactly!

Many posts where people confuse Visa expiration date as date that a marriage has to happen, it is NOT. Marrriage needs to happen within 90 days of entry, the date noted on the I-94 card.

im sorry i should have been more clear- the expiration date on the I-94 is 2/08/2011...THAT was 90 days since arrival. We wanted to get married on Valentines Day...I hope we havent made a big mistake!!

Not a big mistake, however you will have to file an I-130 along with I-495 and add additional $430 for the spouse petition.

It's $420, not $430. You'll also incur the cost of a new medical but often that's the same Civil Surgeon bill you would have paid for the vaccination supplement anyway.

I will add it was a $420 mistake, simply file AOS ASAP to minimize overstay time.

Anyway if the plan was to marry on Feb 14, then it would have been prudent to hold on traveling to the USA on the visa until you were less than 90 days before Feb 14, if the visa expiration allowed this. This would have resulted in an I-94 with an expiration date after Feb 14. Well it's water under the bridge.

MOVING to AOS forum...

Shouldn't this thread go in AOS- other because now the OP is a concurrent filer?

Don't mean to second-guess, just worried the OP might get K-1 advice here and get more confused.

This is one of those split decision ones. The OP is not adjusting status from a Work, Student or Tourist visa. In essence they are still adjusting from a family based visa the K-1, only in this case they need to attach a new petition to base AOS on, incidentally the I-130 petition is a family based visa petition.

They're not eligible to adjust based on the K1 because they didn't marry within 90 days. They'll be adjusting based on an immediately available visa number from an approved I-130, the same as someone who entered with any other non-immigrant visa.

However, I agree that the thread belongs in this forum. Other K1's are the people who will benefit from the information in this thread.
