Filing I-485. Adjustment of status

[Corey Novak 5]

Hi guys. Since the last time I was on here my fiancé arrived from Panama  and we are coming to the end of our 90 days. We were planning a big wedding but with covid back on the rise and my family getting hit with the big C. we were forced to change plans. Now we have only a week left for our 90 days. We are getting married in 2 days on Saturday 01/16/2021. Our 90 days is over on 01/23/2021. I’m assuming that we need a copy of our marriage certificate when filing for adjustment of status. I also know that it may take about 2 weeks to get our marriage certificate back in the mail. Will the USCIS give us a hard time since we are applying for the

I-485(adjustment of status) after our 90 days???  Any info will help. Thank you

Until you receive the marriage cert and submit the I-485, she will be out of status and subject to deportation.  This is very unlikely to happen, but depending on where you live, you will need to be careful.

We have seen people submit the day after the 90 day limit up to a year and have not had a problem. I suggest you move this along to completion as soon as you have all your documents together for your final package. Be sure to make copies of everything before sending it off. BTW, you can send a copy of the marriage certificate whereupon have the original available at your AOS interview.

My wife arrived in november 2019 and we married within 90 days and sent AOS in august 2020. You should be fine if you marry in the 90 days as long as the immigrant is not caught between the end of the 90 days and receiving the NOA for the AOS. Obviously it is not advised because if the immigrant is caught (let's say pulled over in a car while driver is speeding or a similar situation) and has to prove identity or immigration status it could end badly for them. We never got pulled over or in trouble and stayed home for most of it and we are adjusting her status right now. My recommendation is to send off AOS asap, but don't stress too much and stay home and out of trouble as much as possible. The AOS paperwork was very difficult for us and we were confused about its requirements and dealing with many personal issues and COVID measures coming into place so ours took longer than it should have to send off.
