Hello everyone!

 

My husband arrived to the US in June and we got married in August. A problem has come up with our Co-sponsor for income and we're not sure when exactly we will be able to file for AOS. We were wondering whats the time alloted to turn in the paperwork for AOS after married on a K-1 Visa and if there's a penalty or anything of the sort for passing the time they give you to turn this in.

 

 

Any help on this is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

90 days after arrival in the US, his I-94 expired, and since that date, he has been out of status and technically subject to deportation.  Other than that, there is no penalty. Once he files the I-485, he will be granted "authorized stay" while the Adjustment of Status is pending. Personally, I would borrow the money and file as soon as possible.  There are no benefits to waiting....good luck.

 

He can't work until he has a valid EAD, and he can't legally drive in most states......just another good reason to file asap.  The immigration process demands a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and money......
