We still don’t know. It depends. 

We have given you all the guidance we can.

The ball is now in your court. 

But, I would proceed as if she does not have an upcoming tourist appointment in August/her application will be denied. 

 

So,

Option 1) Get married and adjust status here no leaving until AP is granted (8-12 months). 

or

Option 2) Get married and file the I-130/1-30A. Your partner leaves after her course ends and she stays in Colombia for 1.5-2 years. 

 

If her tourist visa is approved. Congratulations! Now she is able to visit the US (at the discretion of CBP) while you wait for the spousal visa.

I can’t seem to find info on the AP.  Can you send me a link to explain how that works? Once she gets AP and leaves, how long can she leave for and must she then wait outside the US until green card is approved? Thanks!

Have a read through the guides.

And read through instructions for AP here.

AP is the document that allows an adjustment of status applicant to leave the US without abandoning their AOS. 

If your partner decides to adjust but  1.) doesn't apply for AP or 2.) leaves before they receive AP 

They have to wait outside the US and consular process. 

General FAQ on adjusting status you might find helpful.
