regarding AOS time frame

[meljesca 0]

hi guys.Just want to ask some question regarding Adjustment of Status. I got here in US:

Date of Entry: Oct.8,2008

Married : Oct. 11,2008

We wanted to file AOS as soon as posible but due to economic crisis, my husband is one of those people who got laid off from work after 2 months we got married.He got new job after four months then got laid off again.In short financially we aren't able to file.My question is : Is there any time frame to apply AOS? We are married for a year now,does anyone have the same situation as we do? Thank you very much I do appreciate some response. God bless

You don't have much choice but to file as soon as possible. You've married within the 90-day limit (from your arrival to the US) which is a good thing.

The steps you follow now are the same as you would had you filed a year or so ago. The Adjustment of Status Guide (K1 & K3 Visa Holders) has the relevant information you can follow.

You're not alone - what happened to you guys has happened to others. When are you planning to file?

so you got married oct 08 or 09? You should have done it soon after the marriage if it was in 08. I am assuming you are talking about removing the conditions? if so you have some time...you apply 90 days before your 2 year anniversary (card expiration)

I think everyone understands what it means to walk those shoes - But, the longer you go out-of-status, the more chance of something going wrong. Don't ask me what, but you don't want to be in a position, for any reason, of having to prove your legal status in the US; particularly if you do not at least have your AOS pending at the time (which is what it would be when you file your AOS).

The best advice I could give you is to tell you to find a way to get the money for the AOS as soon as possible, borrow it if you have to. This is one thing not worth doing without and the sooner you do, the sooner YOU can enjoy the true benefits of being a Permanent Resident (i.e., work, drive, etc) and things will get better. Do whatever it takes.

I know that but come to think of it,He don't have job as of this moment we can't file yet coz they will ask about job and so on.plus we don't have permanent address right now and things like that.SO not much proof.

When he will get a new job we will move to another state,i'm kinda tired keep on moving..lol
