Hey guys ! It's been a while and a roller coaster!

It's been a year and four months since my then fiancé entered the U.S. with a K-1 Visa... we got married within the 90 day period but never got around to sending off the AOS packet . Because I kept thinking I had to send off all the petitions together and we were always being side tracked by something else and couldn't save up the $1,070 for it .

Anyway, yesterday I finally sent it off . Woke up , took our 2 year old to daycare and pretty much ran to the post office . I was in a rush just because I felt for some reason that something may stop me and delay everything even more lol.

I shipped it over night and they received it today but I guess it hasn't been opened because I haven't receive a text or email confirmation ... Super anxious haha

I was wondering if anyone had waiting that long before ? Because I know that his I-94 expired and he was without status. Could that affect us in any way ? Or is it just good that we sent it off already ?

some people wait up to 2 years.

what you've described is 'no problem' to USCIS.

Once the receipt notice is in his hands, a new period of authorized stay commences.

Once the greencard is issued, any overstay is automagically forgiven by USCIS.

HTH!

[to see actual timelines with large gaps between marriage and filing AOS, hey ! get on a PC, study the timelines section]

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Also wanted to add that, while you should have no problems filing for AOS more than a year after you entered as K1, be careful when traveling outside the USA without a GC, even after you have been issued an EAD/AP combo card. You have been out of status for a year and immigration might give you headaches when you reenter. Just a heads up :)

I believe that you will also have to file a Form I-130, in addition to the Form- I-485, since you didn't properly complete the K1 Visa process.

Good luck on your immigration journey.
