Ceremonial Wedding Outside of US after K1 entry

[dutchmatt 1]

Hello,

We are of course planning on getting married shortly after my arrival in the US on a K1 visa, but we are having a ceremonial wedding in the Dominican in June 2010. It's my understanding the after getting married legally in the US I can apply for AOS and Advance Parole. Will receiving the AP document allow me to travel to the Dominican or do I have to pray I get my GC in time?

Thanks for you help!

The AP will work.

OK great! So, this would be a valid reason for AP? It doesn't have to be an emergency, death ect...?

Yup - vacations, visits, etc are perfectly legitimate reasons for AP - don't have to be emergencies (unless you're applying for it on an emergency basis).
