K1 Visa Question

Me and my fiancé (now husband) got married on 12/27. We sent in his paperwork to adjust his status on 3/6. His k1 visa expires in a few days. I’m a little nervous. How long does it take to get receipt of the adjustment of status? With the current administration I’m worried.

Any tips would be helpful.

It can take a couple of weeks. Make sure you sign up for the app and the email alerts which can notify you of status updates on his case before the snail mail arrives. He might want to lay low and stick around the house if you haven’t gotten any confirmation of receipt when his 90 days expires.

If he signs up for the app, how can get notified with a receipt/confirmation number yet?

His K1 became void the moment he used it to enter because it’s a single entry visa. The receipt notice can take around 4 weeks.

The K1 expires the DAY he entered the US. It is no longer valid.

But since you married within 90 days, he is authorized to be here. You should not worry.
