I am in the USA on a K1 visa that is valid for 90 days, i just came here last week.

Me and my fiancee` want to get married at the beginning of January.

Can i start to apply for AOS right now?

:no:

You can gather some of the documents but in order for the application to be complete, you will need to demonstrate that you are married... Without a marriage certificate it will be very difficult to do so....

YMMV

No. Without a marriage certificate you have no basis upon which to adjust.

You can't apply for AOS until after you have gotton married since you need a copy of the married certificate to attach to the AOS application.

Since you are about a month away from getting married, you can still do other things that do not require marriage such as apply for a SSN, apply for a state issued ID card etc.

Best of Luck

Think about what AOS stands for: Adjustment of Status. You have nothing to adjust as nothing has changed. Once you marry, your status is, of course, different. :)

Actualy Adjustment of Status means, changing status from NON-Immigrant to Immigrant, that is when immigration status changes.

However a requirement for AOS from K-1 is to marry the visa petitioner first.

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Perfectionist! :lol:

I actually knew this. I was trying to say that without a marriage there is no change in personal status to warrant the adjustment from the non-immigrant to immigrant visa.
