K-1 Visa to Green Card: Adjustment After Marriage

After entering on a K-1 visa and marrying within 90 days, the next step is typically filing for adjustment of status.

Core Filing Package

Most applicants file Form I-485 and related forms for work and travel authorization when eligible.

Relationship Evidence

USCIS expects evidence of a bona fide marriage, such as joint financial records, lease documents, and photos.

Medical and Civil Documents

Check whether your prior medical exam is still valid and prepare required identity and birth records.

Interview Preparation

Couples should review timeline details and key documents before the interview.

Avoid Preventable Delays

Incomplete submissions and inconsistent records are common reasons for delays or RFEs.
