  1. LOL nevermind, I found it:

    You should apply for adjustment as soon as you marry your fiancé(e). By law and regulations, you are required to marry the U.S. citizen who petitioned for you within 90 days of your admission to the United States in K-1 status. If you fail to marry, you will become removable from the United States and cannot adjust through any other means.

  2. Ok, so KayDeeCee, you said: Once you are in the US and married within 90 days, you will apply for adjustment of status(AOS) for permanent residency.

    My question is, how long after you are married can you delay starting the application for AOS for Permanent Residency?

    USCIS says: Once issued, the fiancé(e) visa (or K-1 nonimmigrant visa) allows your fiancé(e) to enter the United States for 90 days so that your marriage ceremony can take place. Once you marry, your spouse may apply for permanent residence and remain in the United States while USCIS processes the application.

    Fiancé(e) status automatically expires after 90 days. It cannot be extended. Your fiancé(e) should leave the United States at the end of the 90 days if you do not marry.

    If you do marry, are you required to start the AOS to PR within that original 90 days?

  3. Ok, I have a related question... Is this income info required to get the initial K-1? I was under the impression, that the income info wasn't asked for until the second half of the process--after the marriage, when filing for Adjustment of Status to become a Permanent Resident.

    Also, once married (within the 90 days, of course), the immigrant spouse is given a temporary resident status, for 2 years, correct? Which means you have those 2 years to file for the Adjustment of Status to become a Permanent Resident? Meaning, the sponsor income info wouldn't be required until filing for that?
