I can't tell you much about filing for the AOS after the 90 days although I have read posts on here saying that it is OK to do so and that you just had to get married within the 90 days.

Perhaps a better option which would mean that you don't have to wait is to have a co-sponsor. A co-sponsor can be anyone that meets the poverty guidelines for themselves and their dependants + your husband. It could be a friend, uncle, aunt, brother...anybody - it may be worth asking a few people if you can!

Cris, I know you're panicking about this, but you already asked this question before Easter and people gave you advice then. Go back and read the thread - if you can't find it, do a search for your user name and the thread will show up.

You do NOT have to file for AOS within the 90 days - you just HAVE to be married in that time. We were in the same position as you and we just waited until my husband got a new job and applied for my AOS then and I was approved with no hassles.

If you don't want to wait, you need a co-sponsor to fill out the affidavit of support for you.

Karen - Melbourne, Australia/John - Florida, USA

- Proposal (20 August 2000) to marriage (19 December 2004) - 4 years, 3 months, 25 days (1,578 days)

STAGE 2A - Arriving in US (4 Nov 2004) to AOS Application (16 April 2005) - 5 months, 13 days (164 days)

STAGE 2B - Applying for AOS to GC Approval - 9 months, 4 days (279 days)

STAGE 3 - Lifting Conditions. Filing (19 Dec 2007) to Approval (December 11 2008)
