What kind of waiver is your friend referring to: I-601?

I don't know the alphabet soup of visas and waivers available but generally speaking, only a few categories of people can remain in the US while their AOS (Form I-485) is pending, including K-1's who have married their USC Fiances. Why would a K-1 need a waiver? Perhaps I'm totally missing the point.

Thanks for all that guys! I knew I could count on you. I have just copied and pasted everyones comments to her on yahoo so I do believe she will have a fair amount of reading to do when she wakes up in New York lol. As soon as I turned my yahoo on this morning she had im'ed me when I was offline saying now that she has a friend who is going through the same thing and they were the ones who told her that her fiance can stay on a 6 month visa while he waits out the k1. I have responded by not only pasting the comments from all of you, but have also added the fact that it is impossible as her fiance will have to have an interview which has to take place in his own country. Then and only then, when he is approved he will have to show his visa at customs to get it stamped and correct me if i am wrong here but doesnt something get placed in his visa when he goes through customs other than the date stamp??? Thank you so much for the help guys. Perhaps she will allow me to give someone her addy so maybe if she doesnt believe me, one of you can try and pound it into her brain, but how can i say this...with more...hmmmmmmm subtly?? In other words I think I am to nice and some of you ...welllllll with good intentions might i add...can really tell it how it is lol.

Ok with that I am off running before I get anything thrown at me...

It's on the uscis site, what it means is that you get married then go back home submit the i-130 then the 129f which will get you the K- 3 non-immigrant visa then once that is approved and the interview you can move and adujust status in the usa. Basically it's just to get there faster then the cr-1 / ir-1. You still have to wait till the k-3 goes through. I am doing it and I am at month 5 and still waiting just received packet three that says another 2-4 months.

Well that is exactly what im doing but no matter what I still have to wait for the approval of the K3 and the interview....so if it is really faster I doubt it.

Where is her friend coming from. If it's Canada then they can stay for 6 months without a any waiver. But most come back after six months. If it's the UK i doubt it. Canadians just cross using driver's license and birth certificates. Other countries aren't as lenient.

Canadians can visit the US for up to 6 months per year/per visit without a visa (or waiver for that matter), but only as a tourist. You cannot work during that time.

AFAIK, this option is only available to Canadian citizens. Some other countries citizens can enter the US on a visa waiver program, (meaning that the visitor does not need to apply for a B visa) which is only good for 90 days, and again, the visitor cannot work during that time.

Entry under these circumstances can sometimes be tricky, as showing the CBP officer that you can afford to be a visitor for that long can be difficult, and in some case you ahve to show that your USC host can afford to take care of you if the need arises.
