The visa is a multi-entry visa valid for two years. So depends on your wife's plans, how long you have already been married, etc (please fill in your timeline!!!).

Basically, the next step is to file for AOS (adjustment of status) by submitting an I-485 - this will get her an interview for a "green card" and permanent resident status. Can also file for work authorization (EAD) at the same time. If your AOS is approved prior to your second wedding anniversary, your wife will receive conditional permanent resident status (a 2 yr GC that requires lifting conditions). If AOS is approved after your second wedding anniversary, your wife will receive a 10 yr GC.

Read the guides here on VJ and ask specific questions to get more specific answers!

Read the GUDES here at the top of your screen....

There is a link in there called: Adjustment of Status Guide (K1 & K3 Visa Holders) among other very useful links. Read through, educate yourself on the process.

Good luck,

Keep in mind K-3 is a 2 year multi-entry visa, you have a few options.

You can keep the I-130 moving through NVC and return to home country for interview for a CR-1 GREEN-CARD visa.

You can wait until you are closer to 2 years of marriage and file I-485 (AOS) package as close to 2 years of marriage but not more than 1 year after visa medical. If AOS is approved AFTER 2 years of marriage you will get a 10 year UN-Conditional green-card, saving you the added paperwork and FEES to file to remove conditions on a 2 year CR-Green-card. In this case you can file an I-765 first for an EAD card if you wish to take a job, this is an added fee if filed for before filing I-485.

OR

You can file to adjust status now.

Note K-3 does not file an I-131 for an AP doc, the K-3 is a multi-entry visa which allows re-entries from trips abroad.
