Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

It is best for you to get married and file your applications as soon as possible before your I-94 expires. However, you have 6 months after the date your I-94 expires before you begin to accrue unlawful presence that would subject you to a 3 or 10 year bar to coming back to the US.

If you would like more details, please email me at [email protected] or call 213-290-1742.

You will start violating status after I-94 expiration. Therefore, you should marry prior to I-94 expiration and, moreover, all sponsorship paperwork such as petition for alien relative (to be signed by the U.S. citizen spouse), adjustment of status application and employment authorization and advance parole document applications (to be signed by the immigrant spouse), etc. should be filed concurrently prior to I-94 expiration.

You can call our law firm during business hours at 212-268-3580 or email [email protected] for additional guidance.

I would recommend not having your I-94 expire although it is possible to file for the adjustment even after the I-94 has expired.
