After Getting Married on a K-1 Visa, Do We Need to Notify Anyone

[outstretchedarm 0]

Hi all!

My lady and I just got married after she entered this past February on a K-1 visa.

We had until May 14th to get married to keep everything in order and just married.

Do we need to notify that we got married? Or put another way, if someone stops her, and sees that the only thing on her passport is the 5/14 visa expiration date, how will they know that she is married and entitled to stay until we get the adjustment of status done?

Also, we probably won't be doing the AOS for another few months, for various reasons.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You don't have to inform anyone that you are already married. If someone stops her she can show her I-94. It is advisable, that she need to file her AOS before or after her I -94 expires. After means after a week, after a month but not more than a year to avoid some trouble that may occur during the interview if she will have one. Good luck!

You can AOS any time you wish....there is no limit.

To be totally safe, just carry around a copy of the marriage certificate and a copy of the K-1 and I-94. Those three things will tie all together that you followed the K-1 requirements.
