Getting ready to file my AOS, but couple of worries.

[dcp19 7]

Hello VJer's

 

After A LOT of late nights over the last 3 weeks I'm FINALLY getting ready to file my AOS  and a I have few concerns...

 

BACKSTORY:

 

I'm on an O-1 which expires in February. My partner and I have been together for 4 years, I've lived in LA for 3 years and we got engaged in September and then married in November in San Fran city hall with my 2 (one American and 1 Canadian) cousins as witnesses. We have a second wedding/blessing booked (deposit paid) for May 2019 in the UK. I have NOT gotten any affidavits after recommendation on VJ, but have I have complied a tonne of emails, love letters, photos, FB post, txt history, bills, tenancy agreements from 2014 onwards. to show our relationship is genuine. 

 

My concern is that will they look at the quick turnaround from engagement to wedding as suspicious, given the expiry date on my O-1. The family and close friends know the situation but everyone else thinks our BIG DAY is in 2019. We are both artists, doing it our own way and although my wife has an engagement ring, we do not yet have wedding bands either. It's something we want to do in 2019 at our UK blessing.

 

Should I be concerned on any of the above?

 

 

Here's hoping I can file this sucker on MONDAY!!

 

Thanks in advance!!

No - Every marriage is different there is no expected wait time between engagement and wedding. Heck some people just elope. Good luck with your AOS journey.

We did fine with no actual engagement date, rings, love letters, big ceremony,  FB or texts. Just follow what the USCIS instructions for each forms tell you is required. Don't worry about "they" might think this or that. They are just looking for the basic requirements. If you meet the requirements, you win!!
