my k-1 fiance and i returned into USA on oct 26, 2010, and got hitched on Dec. 21 (solstice, and a lunar eclipse= good luck?). But we didnt realize we needed to file for her Green Card (AOS) BEFORE the 90 days limit passed. We just thought we had to get married b4 then. Oops! Now we're finally getting around to wading thru another bunch of c**p forms and realize this. Are we gonna get in trouble?

The only requirement tied to K1 visa is to get MARRIED to the K1 petitioner within 90 days. You can AOS any time after marriage. Won't be any troubles, just follow the guides.

You will need to attach an I-130 and FEE to adjust status from, if married outside the 90 days, if not then file ASAP.

FAQ: 6.13)...What happens if we do not get married within the 90 day validity of the K1 visa?

Yep,

I have seen some go very long in filing the AOS hoping to get AOS approved after 2 years of marriage, in this case it is advisable to file an I-130 with I-485, bacause AOS based on K-1 always results in a 2 year conditional green-card.

klr650 - is no requirement for filing the AOS within 90 days of POE date, at all.

No Reg, No Law, no entry in 9FAM.

Must be married within 90 days of POE date, and thats IT.

(this is supposed to transcribe over to expiration date on the I-94, as well)

relax you, get it in when you can, soonish.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

File for AOS as soon as you can, however. Otherwise, try to avoid traveling within a 100-mile radius of either U.S. border, what with inland CBP checkpoints. They have NO sense of humor. No matter where you are, have her carry a photocopy or extra copy of your marriage certificate whenever she goes out. One never knows.

Never seen the checkpoints we have along the southern border up along the northern border anywhere.

Not Applicable. They got married within the 90 day window.

AOS should be filed before you die; other than that there is mo time requirement.
