I do not know if this is the appropriate place for this, but here goes. We are awaiting my fiancee's K1, the question we are having is; "Will there be any issue once she is here and we are married in vacationing elsewhere? Or even visiting her parents for a week or two?" She is under the impression that she will be unable to leave the states for any reason for a vacation or anything else. I am unable to see any clear rules concerning this. Can anyone point me in the correct direction for determining this?

She is partially correct. Without AP or a green card she cannot leave the USA. Her AOS would be considered abandoned.

File for the AOS asap with the I-131 for AP so that she can visit or vacation in about 90 days.

First, you should post new questions as a separate topic to get better and more timely responses. As to your question, an AP or GC are required to re-enter the US, but you can travel anywhere within the US. Once you do have the AP or GC, you can travel outside the US and re-enter, but there are issues if this travel become long-term. My wife has gone back to Russia several times with her GC for a month or two with no issues.
