My wife entered on a K1 visa on the 18th of Feb and was given an I-94 valid for 90 days. We got married in late Feb and her I-485 has been filed. two questions:

1. Do they only give only 90 day I-94 for K1 entries?

2. Since the I-94 expired this month, what is her status now?

  1. Yes. A K-1 visa will get an I-94 with 90 days of legal status.
  2. She has no legal status. However, she has authorized stay while the I-485 is processing, so she can't be deported. The NOA1 from the I-485 is proof of her authorized stay.
