Ok, so we're in Guam. We got married yesterday and we want to fly home to the mainland thru Hawaii, which we know we can do since Guam/ Hawaii are USA. Her K-1 visa to Guam expires on Sept 8th. should we shoot for flying out of Guam before that sept 8th deadline, or does it matter?
We are in a bit of a rush to leave and her passport has her maiden name. we have no time to do AOS beforehand.
whats the best course of action? leave b4 sept 8th? if so is there a 10 day before expiration rule?
Are we over thinking this? yes we have marriage certificate, but her passport is in her maiden name.
She got an SSN but thats in her maiden name also.
if we were to leave after sept 8th, how could we in theory prove she met the required deadline for marriage for the k1?

Thanks

Her k1 visa is not to any place specific but the United States in its entirety. Regardless it was good for one entry and was void upon entry so it didn't and won't expire but voided. Have you looked at it? I'll bet CWOP is written on or near it in her passport. How do you prove you met the 90 days criteria?.....your marriage certificate has the date of marriage on it.

I really have no idea what you're asking....

Just buy a plane ticket and come back to the mainland. Why would there be any issues? You aren't leaving the U.S.

have i looked at it?
ya
Perhaps I misspoke . im referring to the stamp at entry which states sept 8th. will they not wish to see proof we did something to make her legal by that sept 8th date?
What should I call it if not an expiration? regardless, it seems youre saying it doesnt matter and if we left after sept 8th, no one would ever question her or need any documents?

Sounds off to me frankly


oh your edit is a bit more friendly and informative heehe

Sorry yea. Sounded rude at first sorry. You'll have no issues and just carry cert in case they do ask...which is really up to how the person working feels at that time.
