Hello all, I have a friend...actually it's my wife's friend who just got married as K1. but now her 90 day time limit is coming up and she hasn't filed for AOS yet.

the question is, what would happen to her if she hasn't filed her AOS yet and her K1 expires. Don't get me wrong, she is working on filing...just wanted to toss the question out. Thanks for any inputs!

You can file to adjust status as a K-1 after your 90 day visa has expired and you have become "out of status."

Nobody seems to have an answer to the question of how long a K-1 can go "out of status."

She does not need to worry about a thing, she should just file as soon as she can when her paperwork ready.

You have to get married within the 90 days, but not necessarily file for AOS in the 90 days. Most here will say that it's advised to file ASAP, though some have waited over a year so as to skip the 2-year conditional greencard and go straight to the 10-year greencard.

Good luck to your friend!
