What can I do if I came on a k-1 visa and am now out of status?

If your U.S. citizen spouse is still willing to sponsor you, then you need to immediately file for your permanent residency. You did get married within the 90 day period so you satisfied the K-1 requirement. If you are not still married to your U.S. citizen spouse or the spouse is not willing to sponsor you then your options to remain in the U.S. are limited unless there has been abuse or other exception. If we can assist you with your permanent residency feel free to contact me below for more detailed information on the procedures, forms and supporting documents required, and fees.

With very few exceptions, someone who came in on a K1 visa cannot only obtain their Green Card based on marriage to the K1 petitioner. If you did marry your petitioner you are eligible to file for adjustment of status. This assumes that you are still married and the petitioner wishes to continue with the process.
