Hello,

We are at the end of our K1 Visa, and only begun to get the AOS papers out the door.

It took a while to get the civil surgeon appointment and a sealed packet back to us.

Does this matter? Is my wife's status in limbo while we submit the AOS and wait?

Thanks,

Mike

Your wife's visa expired the moment she entered the US; the only condition/deadline she had to worry about is getting married to you within 90 days of her arrival (which you both have done).

The document that will now establish her legal status is her I-94, which is pegged at 90 days (the time she needed to get married to you). Even then, there are members who have filed AOS after the I-94 runs out...there are no set deadlines for filing AOS, however it is highly advised that she does so as soon as possible so she can receive her EAD and/or AP while her green card is being processed.

Once the AOS is filed and you receive the NOA1, she will remain in legal status until the USCIS completes the processing of her AOS application.

Thank you, that clears things up a bit.
