I want to know, let say I get in US already and not married yet, can I go out of US first and travel before get married? let's say , honey moon in advance? Is that possible?

Sure, you can but you won't be let back into the US.

K-1 is a single entry visa.

No you can not travel outside the U.S. before you get married ...

K-1 is a single entry visa ...

If you leave before you file adjustment of status you will not be able to re-enter the U.S. ...

After you are married you will file for AOS ... and you must also file for Advance Parole before you can leave and re-enter ...

After you get your green card you can leave and re-enter with no restrictions ...

DONT BELIEVE THE BS POSTED ON THE NET AND EVEN HERE ABOUT THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS wacko.gif - TRAVEL HERE BEFORE OR AFTER WEDDING FOR SOMEONE WHO ENTERED THE US ON A K1 VISA IS TOTALLY OK. PASSPORT IS REQUIRED. YOU DO NOT NEED ADVANCE PAROLE, IT IS INSIDE US TERRITORY

Check posts from the user kenneme, her information was VERY helpful for me to get started learning about travel to the US Virgin Islands (also can go to Puero Rico though we did not). I have placed a few posts on here as well. It is really annoying that people post totally incorrect information here.

I personally did honeymoon in the US Virgin Islands with my fiancee, who is from Shanghai. I am American, live in New York. Out of caution (like everyone) I did loads of research and find a lot of conflicting information.If you ultimately want to know contact someone in a supervisory position at the US Customs and Border Patrol, preferably at an airport (Miami, New York City, Chicago) that receives direct flights from the US Virgin Islands, either St. Thomas or St. Croix. I spend loads of time researching this and was finally relaxed enough to do it when a very high level supervisor at CBP told me that its no problem at all (but he did warn me not to travel to the British Virgin Islands).

Our honeymoon was on St. John kicking.gif , which I 100% recommend over St. Thomas because most of the island is a national park it is pristine, very undeveloped. To get here you first fly to St Thomas and then take a ferry.

When traveling take a direct flight to/from US. We did not stop in Puerto Rico, though that should be OK. NEVER LEAVE THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS ON SAILING TRIPS TO THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS. These islands are all very close together, and by motorboat you could make it from USVI to BVI in 10 minutes.

As long as you stay in the US Virgin Islands you are totally OK. Make sure on your way out no airline staff take your I-94 card (since you are not leaving the US).

I can understand why post 9/11 traveler from the USVI have their travel documents checked, which is probably the reason so many people give inaccurate info about travel here. When returning to the mainland, they simply confirm that you have a valid visa or status in the US. This is probably because it would be so easy to enter the USVI from other islands, impossible to prevent people from getting onto the USVI because it is all miles of beaches, bays, cays, and coastline. To prevent people from slipping into the mainland US by way of the USVI or Puerto Rico, they check your passport to see that you are legal to be in the US. Coming here DOES NOT constitute leaving the US.

OP asked if it was okay to go out of US. She did not specifically state where she was going and the US Virgin Islands was not mentioned. If indeed she is visiting the US Virgin Islands which is a US territory, then she is good to go. If not, then the replies posted here advising here not to go anywhere outside the US are accurate.

Travelling inside the US (territory) before the AOS is completed can also be a problem. Get married before the 90 days is up, and file for adjustment as soon as possible. There are many horror stories from out of status immigrants travelling in the Southwestern US, and along the US-Canadian border.
