The 90 day thing?

[StellaR 0]

We were planning on tieing the knot just 2 weeks before the 90 days of my visa is up but Andrew is a little worried it will not leave much time to get the paper work etc done in time. Any ideas if that is cutting it a bit fine, or if it is just strictly to be married before the 90 days is up?

Thanks all of us too here at VJ.

yupyup! the condition of the K1 visa is to be married within 90days ... you can file your AOS anytime after that!

One thing to think about is the fact that the non-USC will not be able to work for that entire 90 day period, and it can take 90 days for the employment authorization once you file AOS and the EAD, so they might be out of work for 6 months at that point.

If you're ok with that financially, and emotionally (I get depressed when I don't work), you should be ok.

Yes, K1 is really stricly within 90 days you guys must get married. Otherwise, you'll have future problems.

I don't know what paperwork problems you're referring to (since I don't know your situation), you can have civil wedding as an option, if you have problems with church paperworks.

Thanks all, well we have just bought a new/old house so no getting bored around here. Too much to do and I won't go into detail but it suits us better having me at home for now. We are having a celtic style handfasting and I think Andrew was worrying the guy doing it may not get his end of things done in time. But no worries and Thanks again. We are both natural born worriers I think.

Take care,

Stella.
