My wife came into the US on a K1 Visa we got married two months after, we are now applying for adjustment of status, however her K1 visa expired I know we took long to file status change but we had some financial issues and were not able to file right away, so my question is the following: will we have any issues applying for green card because her visa is expired, and how about for a travel document?.....please help.

No, you're fine. We didn't file our AOS right away either; you're not out of status or anything. As long as you married within the 90 day window you can file for AOS anytime after that; obviously the quicker the better, but you two are fine. You don't have to file for AOS within the 90 days. We waited filing ours so we can build up some evidence in our package like joint accounts, bills and insurance, etc.

Great Thank you so much, what kind of evidence should i be sending, should i only send the stuff they ask for or should i send lots of things like pictures and things like that?

No, you're fine. We didn't file our AOS right away either; you're not out of status or anything. As long as you married within the 90 day window you can file for AOS anytime after that; obviously the quicker the better, but you two are fine. You don't have to file for AOS within the 90 days.

We front loaded with our joint auto insurance, joint health insurance, joint bank accounts and bills. Our lease with both our names listed. We sent some wedding photos and proof that I've legally changed my name on my SS card. We sent my husband's (the USC) tax returns for the previous 3 years (that was optional, they only required one year). I've read that there's a good chance that we may not even get an interview so we wanted to try to convince them we don't need one. ;)

I have one last question how did you do regarding the vaccin record because my wife has her vaccines record from when she was small but that's the only thing we have

I have another question completely of topic, with our AOS papers we are also submitting the work permit papers and the papers for advance parole to get a travel permit, each set of documents ask for two pictures do we have to submit six pictures in total

No, you're fine. We didn't file our AOS right away either; you're not out of status or anything.

I only submitted 2 passport photos. I've read people were sending in 6 just in case but I also read people sent in 2 and were fine. I went with 2.
