Will there be any problems if we marry close to the end of the 90 day period and file I-485 later?

Fiance is here in the US on a K-1 visa, it's been about 70 days.

I assume that as long as we're married before the 90 days are up, there's no problems with that right? What happens if we don't mail in the I-485 package before the end of the 90 day period? Does that matter? Thanks in advance.

As long as you marry within the 90 days, you are eligible to file for AOS. There is no deadline to file, but of course the sooner the better as you will be out of status when the I-94 expires and won't be able to get a drivers license/state ID, work or travel internationally and re-enter the US without filing and getting the EAD/AP or green card.

Thanks very much.

The first response is very true. There is indeed no deadline for the AOS application; but the sooner, the better so that it won't hamper you with anything that you may plan on doing along the way. Best of luck!
