VWP - Timing Questions During CR1 Process

[SmittleQuestions 10]

Hi all!  

 

My fiancee and I are going to be married next month and afterwards will be starting all of the CR1 paperwork.  I've tried finding a good answer to this- but have so far been stuck in a bit of circular information so I'm hoping that someone here can help:

 

-  She will be here for two weeks in July at which time we will be married.

-  We will both go back to Germany for two months while we file paperwork

-  In the beginning of October we intend to return to the US.   She is in a position to be able to stay for the full 90 days if able.

 

The question we have is:  With the two weeks in July that she is here-  does that count in any way toward a full 90 day stay two months later?  I'd read elsewhere that there needed to be a 90 day interval between VWP visits of any significant length.

 

Side questions:  Her passport stamp is good through August currently-   is it possible that this is what the timing is based on?

 

Thank you in advance for any insight!  (Edit-  I'm posting this in the Europe section because I'm kind of asking specifically about the Germany VWP... mods feel free to move this to the CR1 area if it makes more sense!)

I don't know all answers but don't plan on staying 90 days in the USA. If you have to, plan the trip for 88 days - 87 days. Why? People lost their vwp privileged by overstaying by a day - for example their flight was delayed, some other accident happened, etc.

That's something I hadn't considered... thank you very much!

 

Also bumping on the off chance that someone might be able to help answer this.
