After entry into the U.S. with a K-1 Visa, you have 90 days to get married. After marriage, you can submit your AOS (and EAD and AP if desired) application as soon as you receive your certified marriage certificate.

There is no real time limit on when you can apply, but the sooner the better, because after your marriage, you are technically out of status until you have a pending adjustment application.

my wife and I have a few questions

you have two years after you get married. do it before your second anniversary.

We got married in Sep. 2005, and we are having our interview next Monday.

Good luck!

raymaga,

A K1 goes out of status when their 90-day allowed stay has passed, as indicated by the date put on the I-94 when they entered. Marriage does not cut that 90 days short.

Meauxna, I think they were confused and referring to the removal of conditions... but I could be wrong. The status of the I-194 changes as soon as you file the AOS and the 90 day thing goes out the window. Ken & Maria

I hope that's what they meant. That could be very confusing to others starting out on this AOS trip.
