Ok I got my tracking number and my K1 is arriving.

 

A couple of things I want to know (pls forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong section)

 

I still have some things to close and deal with here in Canada plus I want to save up some more money since I can't be working when I go to Portland. Is it okay if I stay in Canada for about a month or two and then go? any thoughts on this?

 

Also, the 90 days don't start until you are at POE right?

 

Please confirm and any thoughts would be great! thanks for all the help given!

As long as you enter by the expiration date on your visa (normally 6 months from the date of your medical), then you're fine.

And yes, the 90 days doesn't start until your POE.

It's absolutely possible to come in a day before your visa expiration, and then marry on day 89 of your 90 days if you chose too.

There won't be any punishment, just don't put it too close to the expiration date, you never know what could happen and you want to make sure to give yourself enough time incase something causes a delay in coming into the US.

The K-1 visa is generally valid for 6 months from the date of your medical. You should check the date on your visa when you receive it to make sure what date it expires. You need to enter the US before that date.

 

The 90 days start counting from the POE date, yes.

K-1: 12-22-2015 - 09-07-2016

AP: 12-20-2016 - 04-07-2017

EAD: 01-18-2017 - 05-30-2017

AOS: 12-20-2016 - 07-26-2017

ROC: 04-22-2019 - 04-22-2020
Naturalization: 05-01-2020 - 03-16-2021

U.S. passport: 03-30-2021 - 05-08-2021

K-1 is valid for 6 months. So staying one month is fine. Yes, the 90 days starts at the POE :)

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

I took about 3 months to wrap things up after I got my K1 visa too. No issue whatsoever, but you may want to send your AOS documents before your medical expires. 

PS. Portland is a good place to be :)

Yes!!!!!

 

Although I love Canada, and it will always be my home, Portland is a beautiful place and I've adopted it as my second one :)
