Just help

hello everyone, I entered the country in 2019 with a K1 visa.  We got married in 90 days.  Unfortunately, due to some health and economic reasons, and as it is known Covid was also a reason, we could not apply for AOS.  In February 2023, we made the AOS application together with the lawyer.  I'm really in a panic mood right now.  Applying for AOS after a long wait this makes me panic over time.  Anyone with experience waiting a long time and applying for AOS?  Our lawyer says everything will go great.  but I wanted to consult here.  Thank you from now.

I’ve read similar cases here. As you know overstay is forgiven for spouses of US citizens so I don’t see an issue with your case.

As long as you got married within 90 days of your arrival to the US, you fulfilled the visa. The problem was the limbo status you put yourself in for the past 4 years. Since you've filed, there is no issue. Now just sit back and wait.

You should be fine. Have you included new medical exam I-693? They won’t accept the one from K-1 as it’s been over a year since you had it.

The good news is is you will not have to file I-751.

maybe that's only good thing.

Exactly.  There are no other benefits in waiting to file for adjustment of status.  It delays the ability to travel outside the US, delays, ability to legally work, and delays eligibility to apply for US citizenship.  Good luck.

Although it is food new in OP's specific case (not having to file I-751),  I would not advise anyone to purposely place themselves in OP's situation.   There are nightmare stories of being detain by local law enforcement and ICE, plus the constant fear of being caught out of status.
