I would call an immigration lawyer, you might find one who can give you advice over the phone for free or something.

This is where things get confusing, IMO -

You had a mandate to get married within 90 days, or go home.

You got married within the 90 period, so THAT part is good.

There is no rule/law/onus to file the AOS paperwork within that 90 days.

MANY couples waited past the '90 day window' with no repurcussions whatsoever.

As is, you are NOT 'out of status' - instead, you have NO STATUS.

Going forward, I suggest ya get the monies together within the next 2 weeks and file the big AOS packet.

That's not my understanding.

The I-94 expires after 90 days, whether they get married or not. Since the beneficiary entered on a K1, they have to get married in order for he/she to be eligible to apply for AOS, and gain legal status beyond the 90 days. They did that, so they are now eligible to apply for AOS. But the I-94 is expired, and the beneficiary is out of status until they file for AOS.

I don't think it's possible to be in the US and have "no status".

You do not need an attorney. File the AOS as soon as possible. There is no requirement to file it within 90 days, it is best if you can, but nothing bad will happen.

What ever the OPs status is if she/he runs into someone from ICE or the border patrol they will be detained and removal proceedings will be started if they don't have evidence they applied for AOS.

[redglasses 1]

Borrow some money from family, friends, etc. and file AOS as soon as possible.

That's what you should do unless you would like to keep staying where you are.

Whatever the OPs status is if she/he runs into someone from ICE or the border patrol they will be detained and removal proceedings will be started if they don't have evidence they applied for AOS.

Or, at least the encounter would prove extremely unpleasant. OP, until you have as a priority collected the $1,010 for filing of the AOS/EAD/AP paperwork and filed the paperwork, avoid traveling anywhere within a 100-mile radius of the Canadian or Mexican border.

Once you have filed the paperwork, your status will be "applicant for adjustment of status," or (more simply) "adjustment applicant."

You have been very fortunate. This delayed course of action is not recommended for others! Let us know how your application turns out.

Can I just ask.... Why didn't you save the money up before moving/attempting to get a Visa??

Hi Kabayan, I entered K1 visa too on March 5, 2009 and got married within 90 days and my I-94 expired on June 3, 2009 but due to hardship in life, I applied my AOS on Aug.21 but so far no problem infact I got my AP & EAD card on Oct. 8 & waiting for my green card.... My friend arrived in Texas 2006 and she only applied her AOS Feb.2009, got her EAD & green card without problem. So, I'm sure, you'll be good. If you can't afford the $1010 for now then apply the EAD (I-765 - $340) first so you can get a job then apply the AOS later. I hope this idea will help you. Take care and May God be with you.

You don't file the AOS to just be able to work!! Whether you plan to work and pay your own way, or scrounge off your partner... the AOS still has to be done!!

A couple of years?? Lucky, very lucky!! Wouldn't recommend anyone else being this lax/useless with the AOS or ANY of their paperwork

If you have $1010 now, file for AOS. If not, try to find a way to get it. If no one wants to lend you that sum of money, then you have to be careful in places that you go, as mentioned by the previous poster, stay away from the borders and also don't leave the country.

I, too, just filed for AOS after more than one year being out of status. It is not something I would advise anyone. It's a risk and life sucks when you're out of status, you know what I mean!

All the best to you!

Cheers.
