  Don't forget that the day you arrived is included in the count  so it is really 89 days after you arrived.  After that you have to file an I130

Sometimes you dont get your marriage license right away, it takes a couple days to process, so I would try to get married before the 90th day - at least like the 85th. Why do you need to wait till the 90th? If something happens it could be risky.

Waiting until the last day to marry is very risky.  You never know what kind of circumstances could arise, so I would not recommend doing this. I'd give myself more time than  that. Unless you want to possibly risk not being to AOS from the k1 and filing an I-130 instead. Which means lots of more fees and waiting times.

I agree with the above replies. Have you guys already got the marriage license ? you have 90 days and yes the 90th day also comes in count for marriage but why risk on the 90th day ???

[Unlockable 7,314]

Very risky.

 

My wife and I did a courthouse marriage and it took a few days before we could get the marriage license. Plan accordingly!

[geowrian 22,337]

Why the need to wait 90 days? Anything could happen on that day...then the process gets more complicated and more expensive.

[John & Rose 7,239]

Do not wait until the 90th day!  By the time things get processed it will already be invalid!  I would suggest 10 days for the paperwork.

Your fiancé decided to marry you?  Don’t you have a say?  I would not wait until the 90th day.  Way too close for comfort!

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

That is an insane idea. He must like living on the edge of things, he may fall off and the consequence for him will be more hassles
and money.

You actually need to check your passport. Because my wife came in and we actually lost a day or two because of the stamp. Not sure how it happened, but it did. Make sure the wedding is before the date in the passport. 

[Marcelina 246]

Definitely not a good idea to wait till last day because you made a statement to marry within 90 days after entering US and you won’t be able to get a marriage license which is a proof of this.

 

 I just wonder why your fiancé decided to do this on the last day? Any important reason behind such a decision? For me it’s unusual... and definitely not responsible after whole time consuming and complicated K-1 process :/

Out of interest, since I never thought about it:
What would happen if you get married within these 90 days but file AOS after the deadline stamped in the passport?
Would the spouse have to leave the country again and file for CR-1?

I'm glad we got our stuff fixed, so we'll be good on time. It's day 26 after POE today, and we'll have our wedding next week. So plenty of time left for filing AOS, since my admission stamp is valid until December.

Nope. They can file AOS based on a K-1 after the 90 days fine so long as they married within the 90 day period. The unlawful presence will be ignored for AOS purposes.

Ahhhhh I see! Then I understood wrong above. Because I thought it might be like you said.
But I've read about more hassle and more waiting time and costs, so I was wondering where that comes from if you file after.

Wouldn't their marriage be accepted if it's on last day? Even if you get the marriage cert later, it would still tell the correct date?

I wouldn't do that either though..., wouldn't want to risk it. What if anyone gets sick or something goes wrong. Wondering why OP's fiancé wants exactly the last day of the visa validity. I myself would be suspicious because of that!
