We got married before our K1 Visa expired but did not apply for the AOS yet. Are we in trouble?

Doesn't USCIS has it now in their instructions to not send anything explicit? 🤣

I like to think that update to the instructions was a direct result of VJ members.......😅

“Proof of bonafide marriage”?   Like what? Your marriage certificate is proof of marriage.   How much other stuff can anyone have after 90 days?

 

The bonafides (financial commingling, joint property, joint assets, etc) are for the next step: removal of Conditions, which happens two years later.

Really? I always heard you needed to turn some of that stuff in with this step.

How would most couples even have much of anything until several months into their marriage?  When my fiance arrived, we immediately went to get the marriage license and SSN, married 5 days later, and sent the AOS packet as soon as we had the marriage certificate, which was a couple of weeks later.  

 

At that point, he'd been in the US for < one month.  We did not yet have joint assets or accounts, or property.

 

We spent the next 14 months accumulating that stuff while awaiting the AOS interview.
