I-485 Question

[SENKA 0]

Can anyone tell me how to answer a question "Current USCIS Status", I got married within 90 days of entering US on a K1 visa, but my I94 is now expired. Do I put "Out of Satus" as my answer? And on the next question "Expires on" - do I leave it blank?

Thanks

Your status when you entered the USA was "K-1 Fiance(e) of US Citizen" and it expired on the date on your I-94.

Since you say your I-94 is expired, you are out of status. You should put the expiry date on your I-94 under "Expires On"

Since you married within 90 days, you can still file for Adjustment of Status but write a covering letter and explain why you were unable to file for it within 90 days.

Thank you and congratulations of your wedding! I am just curious how you were able to get a certified copy of marriage certificate so fast after the wedding? In California, we had to mail ours and now are waiting for certified copy to be mailed back to us and that's why I couldn't file for AOS right away after the wedding.

This is a common problem and is a reason why many file for AOS after the 90 day expiration, and the USCIS understands this, just note that waiting for the certified marriage certificate is the reason why filed outside of the 90 days.
