After my fiancee enters U.S. with K-1, I understand that she won't be able to travel outside of U.S.

Can she go to Hawaii? (if we do not have any lay overs in another country)

Once you do your aos, you can apply for AP. If you get approved, she can travel outside the country. And yea, many people will tell you that ap is only approved in case of family emergencies, but ours got approved and there was no family emergency; if you read the instructions for the ap, it says:

"You may apply (for AP) if you are classified as a refugee or asylee and you seek to travel abroad for emergent personal or BONA FIDE BUSINESS REASONS...."

When we filed ours, we stated that we qualified for AP due to bona fide business reasons as stated in the ap instructions. Then we gave our evidence, and it got approved.

Who the heck told you that??? NO ONE on here has ever said that that I've read. K1's can all file for AP and it usually takes around 3 months. If you have a family emergency and need to leave sooner, you can make an infopass appt. and get it quicker.

Yep, it has been part of the USA since 1898 and even a real, full fledged state just like Vermont (but warmer, tropical and with PINEapples) since 1959. You are good to go.

VERMONT! I Reject Your Reality...and Substitute My Own!
