Hi Everyone,

I have been reading this forum and have found you guys a great comfort. I am not the only one!!

I am from Australia and my fiance filed the I-129 petition (NOA1 received 21st Feb) through Vermont and we are waiting on our NOA2. It feels like forever!!

Just a quick question - once I am in the US and we get married, would I be able to leave the country if we decided to go on a honeymoon? Or will I need to get my green card first before hand??

Thanks!

15/02/07: Sent in I-129F form

Not unless you apply for and receive Advance Parole. So plan on a honeymoon in Florida! :)

If you intend to complete the visa process, you have to stay in the country once you enter, until you recieve Advanced Parole or your Green Card. If you really want to have a honeymoon outside the US, it might be a better idea to do that before you enter the US, otherwise you have to wait.

How long is the wait? I am planning a ceremony in my Fiance's country, about 4 months after she enters the USA.

I really suggest you take the time to research the questions you are asking here, on the USCIS.gov website.

A link directly to what you may be wanting to know is here,...USCIS.

I have cut and paste an excerpt from this link,...

Please note: Your fiancé(e) may enter the United States only one time with a fiancé(e) visa. If your fiancé(e) leaves the country before you are married, your fiancé(e) may not be allowed back into the United States without a new visa. (Please see How Can I Get a Travel Document? for additional travel information if your fiancé(e) will apply to become a legal permanent resident after you are married.)

This rule applies after marriage too, you MUSt apply for ADVANCE PAROLE, for your wife/husband, to be able to leave the USA, before AOS is completed....

Thank you Jodee!

BTW, I've looked in the USCIS sit for "please see how can i get a travel docuement" link or page. And came up empty. Do you happen to know where it is at?
