Hi everyone. Yulia and I finally got married !! I am sure this question that I have now came up in VJ about 1000 times. What to do next. Is there a form we need to fill out and send to the uscis to prove we got married within the 90 days? Also, she wants to look for work soon and what form is need for this. We are waiting for her SS number right now that we applied for back in Dec. Thanks again for all your help and support! Jeff and Yulia

Congrats!

Next.... Adjust status to permanent resident (AOS). Start Here

Hi Again. I read there is no time limit to file for AOS. Is this true? If not, do we still have to send something in to prove we were married within the 90 days ?

It is true that you do not have to file for AOS right away. The down side is, however, that once your I-94 expires (your 90 day window) you are out of status in the US. When you file the AOS your status becomes "Adjustment applicant" and is again legal status. You will eventually have to apply for AOS if you wish to remain legally in the US and when you do, you will submit your marriage certificate which will prove you married within the 90 day time period. If you did not marry within the 90 day time period, your AOS would be denied unless you also submitted the I-130 form 'Sponsoring a family member" as the K-1 would not longer be applicable. It is best to apply for AOS as soon as you can, especially as this country becomes more and more paranoid about 'illegal' immigrants.

6.1)...How soon after we get married should we apply for Adjustment of Status?

A..Right away, or at least right after your honeymoon. You should make every effort to get the Adjustment application filed within 90 days of the fiance(e) entering the United States, which is when the K-1 status expires, as indicated on the I-94.
