Its been 2 months since we've posted anything on VJ, so first we'd like to say hello to everyone. Sasha arrived in America at the end of March. we've been very busy with our jobs, adjusting, and planning our wedding. We're getting married on the 31st of May. We decided to wait 2 months from her arrival to better plan all of our goals. Things are going pretty smoothly and we're very happy to be together finally. We have one very big question and cannot seem to find the answer anywhere in these forums...

Each K1 visa holder has 90 days to marry upon entering the country. Everyone knows this. We're marrying within that timeframe. Now, how much time do we have before sending our AOS paperwork and payments? Do they give you a new timeframe, or do you need to have that completed before the original 90 day window??? This is what is driving us a little nutty at the moment. June 22 is the 90th day. We will have been married for 3 weeks by then. But we'd like to wait an additional month before actually filing for AOS, for personal reasons. But we're just not sure of the time limit. And help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks all... :D

There is no real time limit but it's best to do it sooner rather than later. As long as you marry within the 90 days you can relax somewhat about the AOS. There are people on VJ who have waited over a year or more. Good luck with everything. :thumbs:

I agree with the above, and we are one who waited for over a year before filing. I would send it as soon as you can just so it is done quicker, but waiting an extra month to file won't hurt you.

Great info. Thanks. We were worried a little because her visa will expire on June 22nd. And I wasn't sure if we needed to file before that date. We haven't officially dropped the latest news on VJ, but I guess I should tell you all now. We are pregnant! And we are busier than ever trying to get everything just right. So, we thought about waiting to adjust her status. She's concerned about vaccinations and other shots she may receive during her medical for AOS. I certainly do not want to wait until after the birth to adjust status, but I needed to know if we could wait at least some time before doing so. Thanks again everyone.

Well congrats to you both on the new addition coming to the family. You said you would like to wait an extra month or so and I can't see that being a problem, so far we are progressing at the same rate as everyone else and didn't file for 15 months. Best of luck with the upcoming wedding and have a wonderful day and then worry about the filing of the AOS and such.

She does not have to have the vaccinations. The civil surgeon will merely say that she can't have them due to her pregnancy :)

COngratulations!!
