Hello there!

It has been awhile since I have been on these forums. In the summer of 2015 I was petitioning for my then Fiance to come to the US on a K1 visa. He arrived IN September and we were married by November, Due to unforseen circumstances and financial difficulties, My husband and I were unable to start the AOS process until just now. That being said, as I am filling out the paperwork some of the questions pertain to what is current visa status is. Since we were married on a K1 and the K1 expires after marriage, what do I list there? What do I need to be looking out for since we did have to wait so long to start the petition? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!

:-)

I think you can still type in "K-1 Visa Holder" in the status field.

Just be ready to answer why it took you so long to get the paperwork submitted IF THEY ASK. Usually they don't ask this unless it has been YEARS since he first entered the country.

There is no deadline to file, so nothing to look out for. It is possible they may ask you at some point to provide a new medical from a civil surgeon.

The K-1 visa became null and void the moment it was used to enter the US. It does not expire upon marriage. When you enter, you are granted a stay of 90 days. Your I-94 shows the date for the duration of your stay. It does not matter that the I-94 is expired. Your eligibility to file for AOS is still based on the K-1 entry and marriage within 90 days. You still put K-1 visa holder for your status on the forms.

Thank you both so much! Those help alot. In regards to the civil surgeon and shots- do we have to do that before or after we submit the petition? I hear they give recommendations but ive never heard anything stright forward in regards to having that with the paperwork as you submit it.
