I am saying the person, married or not, is out of status after their I-94 expires. In the case of a K-1 entrant, it is 90 days after entry via the K-1.

All non-immigrant entrants must leave before the I-94 expires.

Only if the K-1 entrant is OK with the risk of being detained and deported.

That is inaccurate.

Correct. Marriage confers no immigration rights or rights to remain in the US. Only after a married K-1 entrant submits a proper I-485 will he/she be granted "authorized stay" until the I-485 is adjudicated. "Authorized Stay" is not a legal status. The person remains out of status, but does not accrue unlawful presence.

That is inaccurate.

I have never seen a letter of intent with the words "I might marry within 90 days". Anyway, I hope you find a good insurance plan to fit your needs. That is a question which comes up often. There really is very little good information regarding temporary coverage outside travel insurance. Please post the particulars to that policy.

A better option, imo, is to marry asap after she enters, and start her medical coverage under a spouse plan. I don't think a K-1 was ever meant to be a "try before you buy" visa.

She isn't required to file a US tax return.

An EAD is required only for work inside the US. The Utah online marriage eliminates all obstacles to foreign marriage difficulties.

My neighbor filed her I-485 package in March. She got an RFE for the I-864 in April.......crickets since......Dallas is local office.

You could try 6 months before. If that fails, take the 48 month extension letter you will get when you file the I-751. I have heard mixed success.

No. That is not correct. For immigration and legal purposes, you can use ANY combination of names on your marriage certificate. Example: Marriage certificate says John Doe married Jane Smith Jane can use any of the following as her new legal name: Jane Smith Jane Doe Jane Doe Smith Jane-Doe-Smith Just start using the new legal name you want as listed above. That is all you have to do.
