visa expires before AOS

[Mardy 15]

just hypothetical question, What if the visa expiration is already due and haven't filed the AOS yet, Would this affect the process??

The visa expires 180 days after it is issued, or the moment it is used at the POE, whichever is sooner. After entering the USA on K-1 the Visa expires and the timer on the I-94 card starts. The I-94 expires 90 days after entry, it is within this 90 days the K-1 holder needs to marry.

It is recomended to file AOS as soon as possible after getting married, this could be after the I-94 expires.

Again the K-1 visa is a single use visa that expieres 180 days after it is issued or at the POE when it is used.

Makes no difference on the AOS process the expiration date on the visa because it is expired at the POE.

Not sure why this question has to be hypothetical, but there you go.

For a K-1, you just have to get married within 90 days of entering the country. If you file for AOS after that 90 day period its no problem. Although techically an overstay, USCIS "forgives" this if you're married to a US citizen, so it won't affect your AOS.
