Do we need a lawyer if our adjustment of status case is straightforward, genuine, and have no criminal record? We are adjusting status from K1 visa. No overstay, no unauthorized work. 

Will bringing a lawyer at the interview raises suspicion? We are going to have a lawyer to help us because we want to answer an RFE.

I certainly don't want to raise suspicion because our marriage is genuine, and have no criminal record. 

Thanks. 

I am wondering the same thing as well. 

Has anyone had the same experience? Instead of signing it the same with the application, I wrote the first, middle and last as told. So it wasn't the way I signed the applications I sent in. 

So for biometrics appointment, the personnel asked to write the first name, middle name, and last name on the electronic signing pad. However, the signature provided on the applications sent was different than this, would it be a problem?

I am just curious, if doing AOS from K1:

1) How is the approval rate?

2) How often do people receive RFEs? Such as not meeting income requirement, inconsistencies or wrong information on forms, etc.

3) How is the denial rate? Anyone has issue not being able to AOS after getting married on K1?

Hi,

When should one goes to the USCIS approved Civil Surgeon after entering on a K1 visa?

The medical exam is meant for adjustment of status.

So should this medical exam be done BEFORE or AFTER marriage? 

If a medical exam was done prior to K1 entry by a US embassy approved panel physician, should it be done again while in the US?

I think I am confused because there might be a reason of validity with your answer too, since getting married might have already fulfilled the purpose of the K1 visa and the 90-day thing will no longer be valid because now it's not a 'fiance' anymore. 

Your answer is confusing. You said when I file for AOS is up to me BUT she will be out of status, what do you mean? If it's up to me to file the AOS STILL WITHIN THE 90 DAY then she will still be out of status? 

After entering through POE on K1 visa, and after getting married, when should we file for the adjustment of status? 

Should we still file it within the 90 days of the K1 visa validity period? And what do you mean by 'file'? By receiving NOA1 after filing?

There are a lot of differing opinions and answers on this one such as we still need to file it within 90 days of the K1 visa period, some say we can file it within 1 year after our marriage. Which answer is the true one?

So far not anyone has the same experience / issue?

I can't remember if I answered 'no' to the question and put intended travel date, or answered 'yes' and put a specific travel plan there. Let's assume the worst, that I answered 'yes' and put in a specific travel plan, and later told the CO that I will probably travel in that same month. Then shortly after getting the visa I changed my mind and want to travel a month earlier. Maybe the CBP at the POE will say I lied on my DS160 and lied to the CO?

Has anyone 'been there, done that'? Same situation, but allowed entry anyway? Or denied entry? Anyone can share some real experiences? Celeste & C thanks for your reply! It helps me to relieve stress because I will be booking my plane ticket soon.
