Hey All,

I was wondering if anyone knew what the latest possible time would be to apply for an AOS? I heard that it should be no longer than the date stamped in your passport. Was wondering if anyone knew if this was true or not?

After marriage and before the expiration of the I-94.

Technically, there is no 'deadline' to filing AOS, however once the I-94 expires your spouse is out of status and can be deported. As well, the more 'out of status' dates they collect the greater the consequences. Once they reach 180 out of status days if they leave the US - even with an advance parole - they will incur a 3 year ban and not be allowed back to the US. A year's worth of out of status days and that ban becomes 10 years of not being allowed back into the US. The whole time your partner is out of status they are 'at risk'. Once the application is filed they are again in status as "AOS applicants'. So, it is better to file sooner rather than later. Even though the fee is expensive it really needs to be one of your highest priorities.

“...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?”

Concur with the above...

You don't want to be out of status. Out of status = bad place to be.

I-94 expires, bad place to be without the NOA from the AOS.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

My I-94 expires Oct 12, 2009. The reason why I am asking is my husband is doig his Basic Military Training and I have not heard from him yet, and Im not sure when he gets his first phone call to give me his address so I can send him the forms that he needs to fill in. I know he will be done his training Sept 21 so that would be the last possible date that I would wait until to send it in. I am planning on sending the AOS in sooner than that though. I just want to cover all my bases so to speak, and have options just incase. you know?

Fair enough. A few days later shouldn't be a problem but if you don't have to go late it is best not to. Good luck on getting everything together.
