Wrong K1 expiration written at POE! Will we have problems?

[jaygauss 0]

My fiancee came to the US on 7-21 and we got married a couple weeks after. Today we found out at the Social Security office that the border guard at the POE stamped the K1 Visa and wrote in pen that it would be expired on 9-19, only 2 months after her POE date!

The SS people almost didn't let us get the card (though we convinced them too), and we were told that though K1's are for 3 months after the POE, the law follows what is written in pen.

We are about to apply for the AOS and EAD. Should we anticipate any problems?

what were the dates on the online I-94?

if you really need to fix this, get in the car, get down to the closest CBP Secondary Inspection Office, talk with the shift supervisor, do not leave until the I-94 is correct.

No problem for AOS, as there is no deadline to file as long as you marry within 90 days of entry with the K-1. You did that.

The I-94 is correct, so I guess we can relax. Thanks.

Ditto - what KayDeeCee said. Enjoy!!!

Going forward - for USCIS stuff (as others have mentioned) - there is no deadline to file the AOS stuff - the only deadline you two had was to get married within 90 days of POE. That's it. There's other rules about SSN issuance for a K-1 visa holder, but it smells like you two either have the card or the card is coming. If your SSA office visit was recent, please go back there and check the status on the application - if all was good then the clerk can give you a printout of the SSN (no, not the card) or you will learn of other problems. Either way, best to go, nowish.

If the online form says the correct date you should be fine. Of course this wouldn't have been an issue anyway because the important thing is that you marry within 90 days of entry. I wonder what made the CBPO put down 2 months? He/she probably just got confused.

It doesn't matter. You got married, that was MOST important. There is no time limit in which to file for AOS.
