Married before expiry date on I94 obviosly...But

[realizment 18]

Hey due to my Fiancees work schedule and some other minor complications with plans etc, we have left things to last minute, my I-94 expires July 24th. Tomorrow we will get our license and just do a civil thing before the 24th. But my question is does the certificate and stuff have to be filed and in their office before the 24th or do we just have to married before the 24th? Can anyone please verify?

Thank you

Married before the I-94 expires. So the marriage certificate's date of marriage must be on or before the I-94 expires. Now by fiing and in THEIR office, I am assuming you are talking about the AOS you need to file after getting married in order to get the GC. Technically, there is no time limit to filing the AOS if you get married within the 90 days. However, your wife will be accumulating over stay days and could find herself in trouble with immigration should she have any run ins with LEOs who check her status. She could be detained and hauled in front of an immigration judge who most likely will order her to file AOS ASAP and may give a deadline to file by. So the safe bet is to file AOS ASAP along with EAD/AP. She cannot leave the US or work until receiving the GC or EAD/AP. Keep in mind that processing times for the GC are anywhere from 3-6 months with the time approaching the 6 month mark of late.

Good luck,

Dave

Great thanks for that informative answer. Do you happen to know the timeline for the AP/EAD?

Thank you
