Wow cool! So another waiting game for that..

 

hope to receive mine asap and have the appointment this month

You should get it soon. Our appointment was for May 16th, but we did a walk in on the 6th, and they let us in. So that part is out of the way! Status changed this morning to "ready to schedule interview"!

It's awesome that they let you do it. Sometimes, they wont depending on when you go. Seems you got lucky there!

Admittance on a K-1 is based on the intent to marry within 90 days. There is no provision in the INA nor Field Manual that AOS must be submitted within a certain time period.

CBP denying @Abbey B entry for 15 day-overstay is not realistic. The above is fear mongering.

Thank you both @treppenwitz and @Dazz for the insight. It definitely makes the decision to leave much harder..(as we originally planned to do a 2nd wedding in Israel A.K.A a 2 week trip on AP but maybe it is best we wait until GC). 

 

I do want to point out that I also was under the impression of what @treppenwitz said regarding K1 law to marry within 90 days, which we did, but nothing was signed or stated in the I-129F, I-797 or anywhere else that said we needed to FILE within 90 days...and it looks like there is some research that supports that fact.

There is nothing in the K-1 forcing you to file within 90 days, the (potential) issue is that your I-94 was expired for a period of time before filing. Bottom line is when your i-94 expires, you are unlawfully present(until AOS filing). I agree that you have a low risk of anything going wrong, but personally I wouldn't take the chance on a trip that can be rescheduled. I'm not trying to scare you or anything, I'm just thinking of risk/reward. Its like speeding 5 mph over the limit, you probably won't get a ticket. Probably.

 

I want to clarify as well that I'm just talking about AP. I'm not implying that you are actually going to get deported while within the states. That would be absurd. As well, immediate relatives of USC are eligible to get GC even with overstays. So no problem with your application.

That thread does indeed speak for itself. Please read it.

 

This thread also details the exact situation described by @treppenwitz as "unrealistic"

I read it all last Saturday. That is why I said "thread" not just that initial post.

Was Mahshid deported? Hypothetically, if I had decided to continue that case in front of an IJ when I was a federal prosecutor I would have lost; the IJ would have granted the GC. The agents in that thread "warned" them but didn't initiate the actual process for deportation.

You've got to be trolling at this point...

Just the start of an even longer wait. Don't worry though, sometimes texts/emails dont get sent out and you will just get the NOA1 as a happy surprise one day with biometric appointment shortly behind

The "professional knowledge" you are sharing is contrary to USCIS policy. I have given a USCIS source for every single bit of information I have posted. In the thread you linked, nearly all replies to the OP are about how risky it was to do what they did. This entire conversation is long off topic, the question was answered a long time ago: @Abbey B does have a 15 day overstay on record, and this will be seen by CBP agents upon re-entry if they choose to travel. I never said they would be deported, only that they were deportable. Those are facts, and that's all there is to it.
