Congratulations on your marriage.

You don't need to report the marriage per se, but you do need to file for adjustment of status, and include a copy of the marriage certificate.

Hi, you need to report your marriage not to uscis but to the philippine consulate where it took place.

Congratulations! :-)

apple21: Do we need to report our marriage first before filing an AOS?

When you file your AOS USCIS will automatically see that you already married..that is the way for USCIS to see if you already married by filing AOS Edited by hardrockangel

Ahm confused to the response...Laine B and Ronny_cari: you have different opinions. so what am really to do?

You can apply for AOS without reporting your marriage yet, but you have to include your marriage certificate in filing AOS.

After filing AOS, you can report your marriage to Philippine Consulate where the marriage took place.

Hello everyone,

I came here in the US for a K1-visa, and we got married last week...

We are living in Georgia.

Do we need to report to USCIS about our marriage?

Hope you can give me an idea. Thank you.

You don't have to formally report your marriage to the US Consulate, but you do have to Adjust your Status so that you are legal to stay in the USA.

As far as reporting your marriage to the Philippine Consulate, you can do that any time after your marriage, once your marriage is in hand. Be aware that if you have not reported your marriage to the Philippine Consulate within 3 months after your marriage, you must include an affidavit explaining why you have not reported your marriage in a timely fashion.
