The fee for AOS is $88 and for IV it is $230.

No this is incorrect. The OP filed for a K-1 visa. The AOS is MUCH MUCH more expensive than what you have listed.

The correct fee and information is listed here http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=3faf2c1a6855d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

adjustment of status-1-485-1-765-1-131 .985.00 plus 85 for biometrics total 1,070 dollars

Wow... I was afraid of this... Lol better get saving!! Thank God we are not planning an expensive wedding. This needs to b filed before the k-1 expires, typically right after the wedding, correct?

I guess we will be doing these steps alone without an attorney as we have 1 for the filing of the K-1 process but with these large fees we wont be able to afford 1 lol thank God also for VJ!

Thank you for that correction smile.png i dont want any huge surprises when filing.. smile.png

You will want to take a quick look at removal of conditions and what all is involved with that and the fees as well. It comes 2 years after AOS but its still good to take a look and get a head start.

The K-1 will be null and void the moment it is used to enter the US. Your status in the US will be based on the I-94, good for 90 days after entry. AOS should be filed as soon as you possibly can, but there is no deadline to file. If you marry within the 90 days, you are eligible to file for AOS, even if you go past the I-94 expiration.

As Jay-Kay already mentioned, K-1 is a one time entry visa and you need to get married prior to the expiration of your I-94.

And while there is no deadline to file, most people will file it prior to the I-94 expiing. We did not. This was due to money and gathering of paperwork...and then getting too comfortable in enjoying our first year of married life. lol. I think we waited about 10 months. :X

BUT you will want to file before the medical expires, which is generally one year. If you file after this, you'll just add on more unnecessary fies with having to find a civil surgeon to do it all again. Once you file, the medical exam's expiration date is extended. I can't remember for how long.
