Any requirements before the 90 days expires after getting married and filing the marriage license with the county?

[rbv_shard 51]

The 90-day deadline for marriage comes from the K-1 visa.

 

The 90-day deadline for filing I-485 to adjust status doesn't come from the K-1 visa rules.  It comes from the 90-day I-94 you got when you entered with the K-1 visa.  As others have said, being past 90 days doesn't prevent you from filing the I-485 but starting day 91 you have legally zero right to be in the USA.

It is a stark truth. With the current climate of searching for immigrants out of status for ANY amount of time, being under the protection of a I-485 submission before day 91 is a wise move, perhaps not realized until you someday show up for the interview to grant that green card.

You're right to double check, and you're not wrong the 90-day requirement only applies to getting married, not to filing the I-485 (AOS). Ideally, yes, it's recommended to file AOS before the 90 days ends, because that's when your I-94 expires and your lawful nonimmigrant status ends. But you’re still allowed to file after that especially since you married a U.S. citizen within the required timeframe. USCIS still accepts AOS applications filed after 90 days for K-1 entrants who married on time. Just try not to wait too long after the 90 days unless necessary. No other form is required just to prove you got married on time, your marriage certificate will speak for itself when you submit the I-485.

And it's not just the chance of being detained while out of status -- OP would forever have to answer YES to the question "Have you ever been in the USA without authorization?".  Even though a short overstay doesn't prevent marriage-based adjustment of status, answering that question wrong would make everything afterward null and void -- even conferral of citizenship is no protection against being deported for making false statements for immigration benefit.

It begs the question is to why contest this and play with fire? I'd get busy sending out the AOS now.
