Hello all,

What do you do when you forgot to apply for the AOS before the end of the K1/I-94 expiration date even though we are married?

Thanks.

Hello all,

Thanks.

As long as you both married within 90 days, you should be just fine. K-1 expiration is useless after the beneficiary enter the country. All matter is I-94. But, better to file as soon as fast so you can have a peace of mind to stay legal in this country.

There is no timeline requirement to file the AOS associated with a K1 adjustment. As you stated, you married within the 90 days, so you met the requirement there, but now you are in sort of a limbo out-of-status condition. Some people stay in that condition for some time for various reasons (AOS cost, sponsorship issues, laziness, don't care, etc.) and it doesn't impact them as they don't travel outside the U.S. or plan to work.

In my opinion there should be a requirement to file the K1 AOS within a specific timeline, but not sure if that will happen.

My advice is to file the package as soon as you can, but don't worry about the I94 expiration, it shouldn't impact you.

Good Luck!
