My Fiance and I wanted to go to Thailand for our honeymoon. Is it possible to leave the country right after the wedding before you get permanent citizenship?

I was understanding that you had to have Advance Parole to be able to do that. I could be wrong though. Sorry, if I'm not much of a help, but I thought I remembered them saying that

Missing someone gets easier everyday because even though you are one day further from the last time you saw them, you are one day closer to the next time you will.-Natalie

To truly love something, you must first give it a chance to fail. If it survives, it is going to be stronger than ever. Distance is pure proof of this, and forever we will love if we survive.-Matthew

Well... it's 'possible' because she can leave the Coutry any time she likes. The problem is she wont get back in. The K1 is a one time entry visa. If she leaves the Country before she has AP (advanced parole) you will have to start the process over with a spousal visa.

After you are married you will file for AOS (adjustment of status/2 yr gc). There is a $1,010 fee that covers AP and EAD (work authorization) as well. I think the timeline for getting these right now is about 2-3 months. She will need this before you travel out of the Country.
