When is it too late to file AOS from a K-1 Visa?

[Beth & Achraf 328]

Houston office is the worse, be prepared for  a long wait for an interview.

Maybe you will be lucky, and be waived the interview.

How often do they waive the interviews?

No, it isn't too late.  But as she is now out of status, she could potentially be deported.  If I were you, I'd order the marriage certificate as soon as it is available.  While you're waiting for that, get everything else ready to send the package out asap.

 

And because you live in a border state, be aware that she may want to lay low around border checkpoints (I'm not sure what they're called - the ones that are *near* borders, but not actual border crossings) until you get the NOA1 for the AOS, at which point she will be under "authorized stay" while waiting.  Don't forget to apply for the EAD/AP concurrently with the AOS - it's free.

Harris county?  She’ll be fine.  Wouldn’t take a trip down to Padre anytime soon.

OP:  Y’all get that marriage cert and get her AOS filed ASAP.  She can in the meantime safely hide out in the Home Depot parking lot down at the Beltway and Bellaire, nobody will bother her there 😂

Yep.  Knew a guy who had to get (two) stamps for his wife and by the time her AOS was approved they passed the two year anniversary mark

We live in San Antonio and drove to Bend National Park, which on the Rio Grande, a couplemonths ago. Didn't think about it but we crossed through a couple border checks each way. My Filipina wife is often mistaken for being Hispanic. They asked me her status and I said we were adjusting her status. Then asked her visa and I said B-2 but didn't mention her I-94 expired.  No problem. I don't think we had her passport with us.  Hahaha

 

Neither of us has a US DL either, only Philippines. I guess we both could have gotten deported. Hahaha

That ain’t funny dude.  Been a couple horror stories on here about those “de-constitutionalized” zones down south

Like I said, we never found those checkpoints to be very funny

Considering you live in Texas I would file for AOS ASAP.

*Passport stamp says July 7th, 2021

 

* I-94 record says July 6th

That’s not credible.  If you believe you entered April 8, 2021 then the passport stamp shoukd have a date in April.  For example my wife entered as a K-1 fiancée on January 9, 2019.  Her passport stamp has two dates, January 9, 2019 and under it: “until April 8, 2019”.

Speaking of ICE and staying away from the checkpoints, the wife and i are moving to North Caroline for my work and we will be there for a while, we are thinking of going to the coast to visit beaches and stuff. Should i be carrying her Noa 1 for her AOS just in case?

My fiance and I just got married through civil court on the 6th of July and her K1 Visa expired on the 7th of July as per the Visa stamp.  It took us 5 weeks to receive the social security number and Harris county in Texas would not let us apply for a marriage license without a Social Security number.  After that we had to wait three days to request a marriage appointment with the judge and the dates available did not allows us to get married until the 6th at the earliest.  To make a long story short, with all the delays at the SS office and county due to COVID, we were not able to get married until the 6th, a day before my fiances K1 visa expired, is that too late for us to get married?  and did we have to file the AOS before the visa expires?   

You’re good!
