Adjustment of Status & Marriage Visa
For some people, you may need to file an AOS along with a petition for an immigration visa based on marriage (Marriage Visa). If your spouse is currently in the US on anything other than a K-1 or K-3 visa, this is the process that you must file. You may also be required to file this process if your I-94 expired before you applied to adjust status on your K-1 or K-3 visa. People who unknowingly marry on a touist visa are also eligible to file for this joint process to keep their spouses in the US. Marriage on a tourist visa is considered visa fraud. If you are married within 30-60 days of your fiance's entry into the US there is a very strong presumption that your fiance intended to enter the country fraudulently. After 90 days the presumption in not legally there, but obviously still exists to some extent in the eyes of USCIS. However, mistakes happen and many people unknowingly get caught up and get married. This process allows your spouse to stay in the country while s/he adjusts status from the non-immigrant to immigrant visa. The process also applies to people who are currently in the country on student visas, work visas, TPS and other non-immigrant visas. For instance, if you are married to a US citizen while in the US on a student visa, you must apply for your spouse to get immigrant status through your marriage and adjust to immigrant status at the same time. Along with this process you can apply for a work permit (EAD) and travel documents that will allow your spouse to leave and RETURN to the US. These extras are included in the AOS filing fee and normally take about 60-90 days for approval.
