No, you shouldn't get in trouble. There are a number of VJers who filed their AOS after their 90 day time expired and they have had no difficulties. The important thing is to get married within the 90 day time period, then file to adjust status. The only potential problem is if you are applying for Advance Parole and have accumulated 'out of status' days. Get enough of them and you run the risk of being denied re-entry to the US if you leave, even with an AP, prior to receiving your Green Card. As long as you stay in the US until the processing is complete, you won't have any problems.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

carola

:o:o:o OMG your in big trouble!!! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

no, I am jus playing with you.

I filed my AOS after my wife's K-1 expried.

Technicly, your are out of status. once you sent in your AOS.. you are back into status.

my AOS case is slow.. expect from 4 months or longer.

It took about 2 months for me to hear from USCIS about our case and they just transfed it to Calif.

Good Luck

Yogi

Most people here are pretty anxious to file or they wouldn't be here. The common advice is to file quickly and there are some good reasons for that but if you had no need to work, travel, or draw SS and medicare I suspect that you could stay indefinitely. I have never heard of anybody being punished for not filing AOS in a timely manner. I think that your presence is legal based on the marriage.

Of course, I can also drive a car with my feet, but that doesn't make it a good idea!!!

You will be ok but get it in ASAP now.

I also wonder if it does delay your AOS case though. A friend and I both applied in the same month (jan 06) to the same office, I was in status and she was out of status - I have had bio's done a month ago and have my interview a month from now - she has literally NOT heard a thing!!! It is beginning to make me wonder if the out of status ones go on a don't rush, because they didn't, pile!! Hopefully for you all this is not the case but we all know the USCIS!
