Is there a time limit on how soon we need to file for the AOS?

The K1 Visa is valid thru the 23rd of July

I believe this is the wrong forum for posting this ? But anyway by looking at your timeline your I-94 will expire on 7/23, your K1 actually expired the day you entered the USA. There is no time limit to file AOS, just to marry within 90 days of entering the USA. It's recommended to file AOS as soon as you can to get the ball rolling. Also please read the "Guides" for filing AOS, it will tell you everything that is needed.

Good luck on your journey!

Thank you.

If I am understanding correctly? We do not have to have the AOS filed by the 23rd? We plan on getting it done in the next 2-3 weeks (but recovering from wedding and taking it easy for awhile).

We need to wait for the offical copy of our marriage liscence also.

BTW when we fill out all the AOS forms do we use her married name or as it appears on all her other paperwork (maiden)?????????

It's a "glitch" in the system, but there's indeed no deadline for you to file AOS. All that's required is that you get married within the 90 days to your petitioning US spouse. Quite a few people have filed much later; some never filed which helped them to get rid of their foreign spouse once the marriage fell apart.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Congratulations on getting married-it's the funnest part of the visa process! :)

re: your question: You use her married name, but attach copies of your certified marriage certificate when it's received.

As for getting your AOS done in its entirety, I'm going to suggest a thread detailing everything from A to Z--I did my AOS using this info to a tee, and though I just sent my stuff in, I found the thread (and people!) to be extremely helpful:
