[fei23k 1]

saw this topic, want to ask a question, my fiancee and I are going thru the K1 so we can get marry to the US

but we both know once we marry and such, she can't stay in the US for next couple of years due family illness.

I wonder can i still apply I-485 when shes come back?

Why go through the K1 now if she can't stay in the US? If you do go through the K1 and she comes over, you get married and she leaves before getting the GC, you will have to file for a spousal visa such as a CR1/IR1 (not just the I485) to get her back here legally. I would think you should consider getting married overseas then file the spousal visa application about a year before she is ready to come to the US permanently. There maybe other ways to have her come over to get married in the US, but with any other visa, she may be denied entry.

Good Luck!

No point in doing the K1 then.

Get married in her country and in a few years file the spousal petition for her.
