Hi all! Thank you for the replies 😁 My fiancé is a U.S. citizen, yes! Regrettably we are too far from Vegas to get there and marry in the next few days. However I have taken your advice and completed all the remaining filing today. The marriage certificate will be the final touch now (except for the medical examination, which I am planning to submit later in the interests of time). Thanks for this too - I didn’t even consider that we may not receive it the same day! But I have just looked at the NYC website information and fortunately they do indeed provide the certificate at the conclusion of the ceremony, provided that it is held in the City Clerk's Office (which ours will be, thankfully!) So my plan is to spend the coming days finalizing and printing the complete application, ready to send it off to USCIS on June 6th (the day after we marry) with priority mail. That way they should receive the file before June 10th, I believe. This means that we won’t be able to include honeymoon pictures etc. in our relationship evidence, but hopefully I can provide these at interview, if needed. Many thanks again for all your help!

Hey! 👋 First off - this is my debut post on this forum, so please forgive me for any errors or etiquette failures! My question is - I hope - somewhat simple. I entered the US in mid March, and now-fiancé proposed in late April, a few days before I was due to head home to the UK. At this point we looked into our options more closely and - long story short - have chosen to marry and file to adjust my status. I’m fortunate that I am self-employed and so, while I understand that I cannot work here until receiving the permit, I was far more free than many people to make this unexpected move. Anyways…! My ESTA 90-days of permitted stay are up on June 10th, and I have just received an email from Border Control asking me to leave by this date or earlier (photo attached). I’m a little concerned, since my fiancé and I are not due to marry until June 5th, and then I’ll need a few days to get all the final filing together (it’s around 80% done). Thus there’s a decent chance that the USCIS won’t receive this by June 10th. My question is do I need to (or can I) let the CBP know in any way that I am planning to adjust my status? I don’t want it to seem as though I am ignoring their emails requesting me to leave by June 10. Any advice is appreciated… I’m just a little concerned since receiving this email. Thank you! Luke
