AP Usage with K1

[SV350z 3]

Hi everyone,

My fiance got a K1 Visa (yay- thanks to VJ) - anyway we travel to the US next month however in El Salvador (where we both live, I am the petitioner but live here too) we have a business together. We can leave it with someone else in charge for 3-4 months while we get AP however we will need to travel while AOS is being processed.

If we get AP approved, what are the limits of usage? For example... while the AOS is being processed my fiance will not have a status (right? The K1 expires once we enter...) - so if we need to travel lets say one week every month, can we do that with the AP? Will my Fiance be allowed back in and if so would it be a problem with repeat entries and exits for short periods while the AOS is being processed?

Thanks everyone

Her official status (with I-485 pending) is "applicant for adjustment" -- or, more concisely, "adjustment applicant."

Readmission to the U.S. by means of AP is at the discretion of the CBP at the POE. Multiple trips might raise their eyebrows after a certain point. It will be crucial that she carry these with her on every trip:

-- AP card or document

-- passport with used K-1 visa in it

-- copy of marriage certificate (duplicate original is nice to have)

-- copy of NOA1 for I-485, or at least a copy of your cover-letter for that application

Others here will have additional input.

Thank you for the info - that is good to know. I hope we do not run into issues. Immigration issues can be messy
