Need Advice...Filed AOS

[egospiers 0]

My AOS was based on the K1 Fiance Visa, so within 90 days of the K1 visa being granted we had to get married and file the AOS....we got married and files the AOS in time according to the law, however due to the wait with USCIS the visa is now expired, but we do have evidence that we were married within the time allowed and that we filed the AOS in time allowed (we received an NOA)

My wife and I need to travel to Laredo Texas for a family matter, however I have heard and read that when you are driving north from LAredo there are secondary immigration checkpoints, so the question I have is this: if we travel to Laredo, and have to go through one of these checkpoints, will my wife's expired Visa cause a problem (namely her being forced to return to mexico or deported) even though we are following the laws as laid out by USCIS??

Any advice is greatly appreciated...THANKS

When your wife filed AOS, she entered a new period of authorized stay. If asked, she can prove that with her AOS NOA, so make sure she brings it on your trip. She won't be forced to return or deported.

bring your NOA at all times, and in no event go to Nueva Laredo.
