I-94 Expiration Date

[Farmer&JAO 0]

Thanks in advance for your responses. I hope all is well. My fiance arrived on U.S. soil December 9th 2009. I know we suppose to get married and file AOS within 90 days of her arrival which will put us out to 9 March 2010 to stay within legal status. The immigration officer who reviewed her packet, marked May 12, 2010 on her I-94 which is the same date her K1 visa expires, was this a mistake? should it have been marked 9 March 2010 instead? Your thoughts?

Definitely a mistake. You MUST marry within 90 days. If the I-94 is wrong I don't think it will affect you too much in terms of AOS, but make sure you do all the normal "within 90 days" things.

Obviously he/she should have marked the 9th - I wonder how many people he/she did that to that day, before realizing it?

Umm Otto I think you missed the point. Rather than writing MARCH he wrote MAY. The 9th vs 12th isn't that huge a deal, but those extra couple of months could really confuse someone. I doubt he did it to a couple of people as the date he wrote was the OP's specific visa expiration date
