Hi all, 

Can anyone confirm how long we have to submit the AOS package? Is it before the I-94 expires? Or 3 months from when we married? 

 

Many Thanks

It should be as soon as possible.   There is no specific deadline other than the sooner the better 

YMMV

you should do it before i-94 expires or you`ll be out of status. Your married date has nothing to do with it.

There is no absolute time limit. But, once your I-94 has expired (90 days after entry into the US), you are out of status, and you are technically subject to deportation.  Once you submit a proper I-485, you will be granted "authorized stay" in the US by the US Attorney General while the I-485 is pending.  There just are no benefits in waiting....in short, the best answer is ....as soon as possible after marriage....
