No it is not necessary to adjust your status ASAP. Even if you fall outside of the 90 days there is no problem.

This is not an NVC question. Moved to AOS forums.

Really? No problem if she does not file within the 90 days?

She will be out of status if she does not file to adjust. She cannot legally work in the US. She cannot go to school in the US. She cannot return to the US if she leaves.

Seems like some real problems to me.

After her 90 days, she will be out of status if you do not file to adjust her status. She will not be able to legally work or go to school. ICE can pick her up they run into her.

While nothing requires her to file to adjust her status, you put her at risk if she runs into ICE. Additionally, you limit her abilities to work or go to school. Without work, school, friends, and family, she will go nuts.

The good thing is that she is married to a US citizen, so you can file to adjust her status at any time (even after the 90 days). If she is out of status and is unfortunate that ICE picked her up, the immigration judge will most likely let her out on the condition that you file to adjust her status. This is not really a good plan because she will be pi$$ed that she was detained and probably locked up with a bunch of other illegal immigrants. It could be hours or days before you can get her release.

The remote possibility that ICE could pick her up is reason enough to file to adjust her status before the 90 days expires. The inability to work or go to school is a practical matter that can cause problems in your marriage.

Beg or borrow the money. File for her before the 90 days. The headaches of not filing are worse than begging or borrowing the money to file.

Wow....

I hope you where never pi$$ed and detained with a bunch of immigrants.

Nor begged to live in this country. I'm sorry but that did not sound good.

I'm not saying it's nice to get incarcerated but there's no need to say ” with a bunch of immigrants”

I was a a little worried about this issue. My fiance is currently going to college for Esl classes and she is outside the filing deadline. This was a mistake that will be remidied in a few days. She has a drivers licence and we are married. I told her to only carry her drivers licence and not her passport. This delay was partialy caused by Easyfiancevisa not informing us that her adjustment of status was not submitted because of a error we made is filing. I would have appreciated a call from them instead of waiting 2 weeks to send me a email.

If you are going to "quote" me, then don't leave out words that offend you like "illegal." Why did you drop this out when you quoted me?

Who do you think they hold in immigration detention if not illegal immigrants? US citizens --> no. Legal immigrants --> no. Illegal immigrants --> yes.

What politically correct term would you like me to use instead of illegal immigrants?

Is it racist if I say "a bunch of US citizens" or "a bunch of legal immigrants?" Or are you offended by the use of the word "illegal?"

My usage of the word "bunch" was to imply that no one gets a private cell. It's one big crowded cage. Unlike you who are only saying that it's not nice to get incarcerated, I have been to immigration detention to pick up my brother. Immigration detention is overcrowded and a $hithole. If you don't mind peeing in a toilet in the corner of the room with other people watching, then I guess you wouldn't mind being stuck in there with a bunch of people.

If you are going to accuse me of racism, then come out with it. Don't try wording it nicely when you insinuate that I am a racist.

the people that play by the rules are immagrants, America is a nation of immagrants. The people who enter our country illegaly are criminals and should be treated as such.

[TBoneTX 43,066]

Agreed with aaron2020.

Also worthy of mention is that if you ARE detained by ICE, you must report this on your subsequent applications (AOS, ROC, citizenship). That won't look good, will it? And you'll die a thousand deaths inside, each time you report it.

Aaron200's comments are correct and he did not make a disparaging comment about immigrants; he made a factual comment about illegal immigrants. It is important that you quote another member properly, especially as changing the quote changes the intent of the statement and can cause unnecessary dissension. As this topic is about filing for AOS after the 90 day I-94 window, please return to that discussion and do not derail the thread any further.

My take is don't wait to do anything if you have the funds. In just the year that I've been involved with this I've known people who needed the AP part of the AOS for such things as death, ilness in the family back home. If you have the funds don't wait.

Follow the guides, collect your evidence and file for the AOS, EAD and the AP. Within a few months your life will be a lot easier.

The most difficult part is the money for some people, gather your evidence, file and there are not any issues. Follow the guides and good luck. Some have said is is difficult to get the paperwork from the government so expedite or pay an extra fee to get your marriage documents and move on with your AOS filing.
