Hello VJ community !

My wife came here on K-1 VISA and we got married within 90 days.

However, we were late filing the I-485, I-131, and I-765 by 30 days .

My wife received her EAD/AP COMBO card last week but now I am scared that this 30 days of out of status stay might be a problem when reentering the United States with Customs.

 

Is 30 days of out of status stay enough reason for CBP to deny reentry for my wife ?

Thanks for all input and advice !

In the end it's always up to the CBP officer if they'll admit the immigrant into the country (AP is no guarantee, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone running into trouble), but the 30 days should not cause a problem. You got married within the 90 days, the 30 days 'overstay' will be forgiven.

Non-issue........As long as she has a valid advance parole document, there is no reason to worry.

as missileman  said non issue.

 

all though any one who comes in that is not a USC is not guaranteed to be allowed in but I have not ever heard of anyone being held out if they have a green card, unless of course they stayed out for years on years.
