You need to marry and file the papers for Adjustment of Status before your visa expires. So get the papers filled out now as best you can so that once you have the marriage certificate, you can mail them in. Find out how long it will take to get the proof of marriage (marriage certificate). Don't wait until after the marriage to learn about filing the AOS or you may not get it done in time. Start that now.

HI again nicole thanks!


Is it true that as long as u get married within 90 days u can apply for adjustment of status later lets say after a couple of months after wedding?

I'm not a lawyer or an expert. I'm just filing like you are, but this is my understanding of the process.

• Your visa expires 90 days after you enter the country. You will get an I-94 when you enter to keep with you to show you are legal in the US until the date on that little paper. Do not lose it.
  
• The only way you are absolutely legal to stay past 90 days is to have filed for Adjustment of Status...the green card... before your 90 days are up. If you file, then you may stay without being considered out of status. You can show the notice of filing if there was a question that you were past the 90 day date shown on your I-94 paper.
  
• The only way you can file for AOS is to be married first so you can show your marriage certificate in the papers you file.

There may be people who were a little late getting theirs sent in and were forgiven. I don't know. But why would you go through all of this trouble and not do everything possible to finish it like the law says. I really haven't studied the exceptions because we don't intend to be late. My entire goal in this long process is to have my fiance live legally in the US with me forever. I'm not going to mess around with delaying anything. We are marrying 5 days after he enters the country and filing AOS as soon as the marriage certificate is registered and mailed to us.

That's about all I can say because it's your choice when you do things. You haven't explained why you can't marry and file in 90 days. If it's because of finances like paying for a wedding or renting an apartment, then I would skip the wedding and move in with grandmother. It's most important to me to get the love of my life here to stay without any chance of them saying "NO, he has to go back." I myself wouldn't take that risk, but you do what works for you.

need some info........

Hi is there anyone can tell me how long it usually takes to approve EAD...if i apply together with the I-485 ( adjustment of status) and how long it may takes to approve my application for AOS...?thanks!

[nichole]

I hear EAD is 2-3 months average. AOS can take much longer depending on the backlog of security checks. Even though you mail them together, they don't process the same. Also apply for Advance Parole with the other two (no extra fee) so you can travel back to your home country if you need to before the green card arrives. If you don't have your green card, you will not be admitted back into the country without an Advance Parole document. The K1 is a one time entry.
