adjustment of status

[ally and moh 3]

Maybe its early to ask, as I am still waiting for my NOA2 (day123), but I am trying to do a little future financial planning. I'm sure you all understand. LOL!

How many days do we have to file for the adjustment of status after we get married? Thanks for all your help!

The answer is found in the FAQs

Best advice is to file AOS as soon as possible and before the I-94 expires.

My advice is before 90 days. It has been reported widely that nothing terrible happens if you don't, I couldn't say.

Let me chime in here.

Do it ASAP.

Because once the I-94 expires, the person is "out of status" - subject to ICE problems.

Also, it delays them from working and travelling outside the country.

There are posts here on this forum of people having ICE problems, people leaving before the AOS was even started (and without the AP).

In the end - waiting just complicates matters. Best to have the money needed for the AOS socked away in your savings, and as soon as the ink is wet on the marriage certificate, you file.

If possible, I suggest filing as soon as possible after you get married. You'll then begin another waiting game, which could be just a couple of months, or it could be a lot longer. The time between getting married and filing is time that delays your permanent residency status. We waited 6 months because we were busy with other things, and then we waited 10 months for our interview. If we'd filed right away, we would've been approved at least 6 months earlier.

After you file, you can start collecting evidence to bring to your interview if you have one.
