I think I screwed up!

 

My spouse and I tried to apply for his social security today and that's when we were informed his K-1 visa expired. That's when I realized I lost track of my own timeline and didn't file for his AOS yet. We did get married and got a marriage certificate.

 

Is this gonna be an unforeseen issue when we file for his AOS?

 

This has taken a toll on my mental health - please only comment with helpful information. Thank you!

 

Edit:

 

It's been a month outside of the 90 days.

A SSN is not required to file for adjustment of status.  He can request a SSN on the I-485.  I would get the I-485, I131, and I-765 packages filed asap. 

Delaying means a delay in working, traveling outside the US, getting a Green Card, and filing for citizenship.  There are no benefits in delaying.  Good luck on the rest of your journey.

Did you marry within 90 days of entry into the US?  If not, you will also need to file an I-130.

***Moved to Adjustment of Status from K-1 forum area as OP's spouse has already entered the US, and the K-1 process has been completed*****

Yes, fortunately we did get married within 90 days. I recounted, we only missed by 2 weeks. I will file the AOS asap!

Yep.  Actually, the 90 days started when he entered the US..... Looks like your spouse entered the US about April 15th, 2023.  Therefore the I-94 expired about July 15th.  Since you married within 90 days of entry, you will not need an I-130.  Good luck.

The SSN is the first thing you apply for but that boat has sailed, so now you are waiting for EAD to get a SSN.

 

You just wasted a bit of time, I read it that you married within the 90 days, did you?

@txvl66

FYI-  The Social Security Administration will not issue a SSN in their office if it is within 2 weeks of the expiration of the I-94.  That's why they wouldn't allow him to apply.  But, as I said, he can apply for a SSN on either the I-485 or I-765.  😃

A lot happened whilst I was typing!
