I hope someone can help. My nephew and his Colombian wife married in Florida back in August. She arrived here in Dec. They are filling for her adjustment of status. However, her tourist visa expires the 1st week of January. The question is if they submit her I-485 now what will happen once her Tourist visa expires?

After filing for the adjustment of status, they will receive a receipt notice and that is proof that the application is pending, so she will be in authorized stay until a decision is made.
 

It didn’t take them long to decide to go the adjustment of status route? What did she tell CBP when she entered the US? Does she have a job back home? Adjusting status means that she’ll have to quit her job and leave everything she has back home for a while because it might take a long time!

Did she say she intended to get married when asked by CBP?

Well, did she put in a renewal in Bogota for her B-2?

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

According to OP they already got married in August. She arrived on tourist visa in December and they are now filing for AOS. Her tourist visa expires the 1st week of January so I think she was a VERY lucky person to even be admitted. This just makes me wonder what the conversation with CBP was like.

Gotcha. So I guess my question should be rephrased as “Did she tell CBP she was planning on AOSing?”
