Postpone the 3 months to get married K1

[Virginie 0]

Hi everyone,

My question is : is it possible, and if yes how, to postpone the 3 months to get married as soon as you get your visa K1, when you have a very good reason (trial, surgery planned, or other) ?

Thanks for your answers and helps.

You will be given a 6 months window period to get yourself into USA, and then will be given 90 days to get married and apply for AOS. There is absolutely no way to extend the 90 day period.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Thank you so much !!!!!

I've believed that I had 3 months to get married when the Visa was approved.

Thanks to both of you (feeling release)

I don't see your timeline is set up. It depends on which country the beneficiary comes from. Some countries like the Phillippines, the expiration date of visa tied up to the medical and some others like my country the visa is valid started from issued date up to 6 months. Better to check your visa to see the valid date.

We are at the beginning of the process. We sent our form at the beginning of June, and we got the NOA1 in June too.

I am going to have an appointment for surgery, and I should go to the Court, in my country (France), in March 30th, 2015, to fix a situation with a former employer. I could not be represented for this case.

I hope to be able to go to the Court, then if everything is good for the visa, to join my fiancé in the US to get married.

Do you think the time of 6 months to go to the US, then 3 months to get married from my arrival, will apply for France, Girl from Celebes ?

I think it is doable. You can also postpone your interview by delaying submit all papers. Many people do like I did. I postponed submitting all papers to delay the process due my husband and I had hectic work schedules and needed to be done.

All true except for the underlined portion above. There is no time limit within which to AOS...technically one could never AOS.....they would just remain out of status and couldn't legally work or re-enter the US if they were to leave.
