I am currently on a TN VISA (F1>OPT>2 Year TN Visa) expiring July 2017.

My fiance and I will get married June 2017, only a few weeks before my TN expires. This wasn't the most though through, but we plan to file I-130 and I-485 right after the wedding. Will this be suspicious because it is so close to the wedding? Moving the wedding isn't an option at this time...

I don't think they'll view it as suspicious (it would probably be more suspicious to renew the TN and then immediately get married), but remember you won't be able to work or leave the US for about two months, since your TN will have expired, and you won't have your Advance Parole or an EAD card yet, which typically takes around 80-90 days. And don't forget to apply for both when you send the other docs in: Advanced Parole (I-131) and Employment Authorization Card (I-765).

TN to GC Timeline:

  • 6/2013 - TN Status Renewed for 3 years
  • 6/2014 - Married in US
  • 2/5/2016 - Sent I-130/I-485/I-131/I-765 to Chicago Lockbox via FedEx
  • 2/9/2016 - FedEx confirmed delivery
  • 2/16/2016 - Received NOA1 for all documents (via e-mail and text)
  • 2/26/2016 - Received notice of biometrics appointment for 3/7/2016
  • 3/02/2016 - Walk-in biometrics appointment completed
  • 4/12/2016 - E-mail notification of I-131 and I-765 (card ordered)
  • 4/22/2016 - Received EAD/AP Combo Card
  • 09/14/2016 - E-mail notification of interview date
  • 10/17/2016 - Interview
  • 10/17/2016 - E-mail notification of I-485 approval
  • 10/24/2016 - Green Card in hand!

Make sure to file you AOS immediately after marriage. Then it doesnt matter when your TN expires. You can start woeking again with your EAD. Most people file the AOS as soon as they have their marriage certicate.
