K-3 expires in 12 days!
My husband's K-3 expires on October 9th. His I-94 is good until May 2006 (I'm not sure why). We have chosen not to file AOS, and go to him country for the interview. His file was sent to Tel Aviv in the middle of July, and we still have not heard anything about an interview.
The only option I can see at this point is to file AOS, and wait the 3 years Atlanta is taking (it's already been 2 1/2) . Is there anything else we can do (other than for him to go back to Israel and wait it out)?

I'm curious on why you think the I-94 is in error?
In any case, you can file for an extension of the K-3 admission since you believe the I-94 is wrong.
As long as you keep him in K-3 status, he can wait in the US until he get the interview date from Haryakon Street.

Meegan,
Trying to understand what your husband's possible problem is and learn something from Folinskyinla's response. If you're compfortable sharing the information, could you tell us
- What was the issue date of your husband's K3 visa?
- What was the date of his first entry into the USA using his K3 visa?
- What was the date of his last entry into the USA using his K3 visa?
Thanks.
Regards, JEff

My husband's k-3 was issued on October 7, 2002. His first entry into the US was on October 11, 2002. His last entry into the US was in May, 2004. His I-94 is stamped for May 2006. His K-3 expires on October 7th, 2004.
If we file for extension on his K-3, but it does not come through before it expires, is that a violation?

You are conflating the "visa" with the "terms of stay." The admission is governed by the I-94. The term of admission on a K-3 is for two years. When he last entered in May 2004, he was therefore admitted until May 2006.
The K-3 VISA's expiration has no effect on lawful status in the US. However, if he needs to travel in the future, he will need advance parole comcomitant with adjustment of status.

It is quite common for people to travel with a new passport and the still valid visa in the old passport. In fact, the entry stamp in the new passport will be endoresed "VIOPP" for "visa in other passport."
No problem.

I am glad to hear something in this process is actually "easy".

Thanks for the info. We are so close to being finished with the process that I don't want to do anything to jeopardize it (like letting him run out of status).
