I have been here in US since Feb. 1, 2013 on a K1 visa, and we got married last March 1, 2013 with my hubby. My question is, can we file for Adjustment of Status beyond 90 days?..thanks

Yep. No rush. I wouldn't go more than 270 days since you arrived in the US. However, the sooner you file, the sooner you get to receive your documents that will allow you to work and travel.

i just really don't want my hubby to be stressed with the filing fee which is $1,070..:) as he is buying stuffs for his car shop that he is going to open on the summer, but he said we will file next month..:) though, it would be good if it is a lil bit longer than that..:)

Yes, you can wait after the 90 days period expires, but at least, try to get your SSN before the I94 expire, cause if you dont get it, you will need to wait get your work permit or your green card to get the SSN, while your i94 is still valid, you can get the SSN. Even when I know it's expensive try to adjust as soon as you can. I filed on july 19 2012 and Im still waiting to get my green card! Thank God I file for my EAD/AP combo card so I can work and travel while my AoS is still pending. But you need to file fir AOS if you want to travel, work, get a driver license etc etc. My life here got stuck for a few months until I adjusted

How are you adjusting? No homesickness? That first month or so, was the most stressful for me, the USC, keeping her occupied. After a while, and meeting a few other Pinay, she did much better.

Just think of it this way: the sooner you file, the sooner you can work = more income. :):dance:

What difficulties?

The sooner the better of course, for being able to get a license/state ID, work, re-enter the US when traveling, etc, BUT there is no deadline to file for AOS. As long as you married within the 90 days of entry and remained in the US, you are eligible to file for AOS at any time. Many people file for AOS days, weeks, months and a few even years after their I-94 expired with no problems.
