K1 marriage 90 days deadline amid covid 19

[wilkings0224 28]

Hi everyone 

 

my fiancé enter the USA on March 5th,

we haven’t got married yet because everything is closed on NYC,

now on the city clerk website they put a project Cupid, which is letting people get their marriage license online, I managed to do that, but the closest appointment to sign the license online through a video chat with the clerk is by the end of July, which I choose,

my concern is that by then, the 90 days period would be ended, 
i don’t know what else to do, is not like is our fault no getting married on time, all our plans has been changed, at this point we just want to get married even with no celebration at all...

any advice pls, thank you.

I agree, head to another state and get married there.

I spoke to the immigration officer and they told me not to worry about it. That it will be extended.  I applied for a emergency marriage license request  and it was denied... also it is good to have a congressman looking/working for you. Look for you representative  website they usually have a link for help request for immigration.  Good luck  my fiance arrived March 19th and nothing yet.

I just spoke to an USCIS Officer and explain to him my situation, he told me, they haven’t make any time extensions for the 90 days timeframe, but he also told that he understands that is not our fault and What I should do is send an email to them with the appointment that I already made for the marriage license so that I have proof that is not because I fail to meet the deadline.

Hi there, I’m from the Bronx!

Yeah they said no plan had been set but they will have to be extended as it's  not our fault.  I spoke to a call center rep. and an officer.  I recommend to get your congressman  involved. Mine  is working with me to help. And that is your proof as well.  There are many in the same situation.   They gave me a reference  number for my  call.

Thanks I will do that!

"Will be extended" is a prediction, not a policy. Unless/Until it becomes a policy, expect it to remain the same.

You can always delay and file the I-130. Hard to say if they'll make exceptions but they haven't yet.

How did you speak with said immigration officer?  I hope you didn't call the uscis misinformation line.

Beyond that, the 90 day deadline is a matter of law, not regulations. Changing that would require an act of congress and the president's signature (barring a 2/3 majority in both houses).

So if you can't get married before the 90 days is up then will marry later and file the I-130/I130A and all of the AOS package.   It is only way after 90 days.

I called the call center line  and she transferred  me to an officer because  of my situation.
