AOS after marriage for a K1 visa

[Arroyo77 2]

Hello friends,

I have one quick question.

So me and my fiancée have planned the wedding date to be December 11th of this year and I am leaving with a K1 visa to marry her within 90 days.

If all goes well and I am able to get to the U.S. With no issues, how long do I have to file for AOS. I was planning on leaving at the end of September and our wedding would be Dec 11th. Would I have enough time to file the AOS or should I leave a moth or 2 later to have all 3 months to do the AOS?

Thank you for the information!

You could never a.o,s. if you wanted too. Of course that means you could never work or receive gov benefits at all. Do it when you have money and time, of course the sooner the better for the both of you.

No time limit.

There is no time limit/deadline in which to file for AOS. As long as you married within 90 days then you are eligible to file based on your approved I-129F petition and fulling the requirements of the K-1 visa. However, you will be out of status and begin to accrue unlawful presence between your I-94 expiring and filing for AOS. Once you file for AOS, you then enter a period of authorized stay while waiting for your green card approval.

You are confusing AOS with the K-1 requirement to marry in 90 days. As long as you marry with the 90 days that you enter the US, then you can file for AOS whenever.

That's great news! So I don't really have much to worry about. I'm gonna get started now on checking into what I need to get the AOS done as soon as possible once we get married. Thank you all!
