USCIS now says they are processing April 12th files!!! Can I get a "Whoop Whoop"

okay here's my question...

Once in the US on a K1 how easy/hard is it for the non-citizen to travel internationally. Is it exactly the same as if they were trying to travel from the home country (Thailand) or is it MUCH easier for them to get tourist visa to say Europe or other "Western" countrys. Also what about travel back to the home country while they are in the US on a K1 (after married and Change of Status and all that).

Our Visa Journey

07/29/07 ---- Mailed I-129F

08/25/07 --- Check finally cashed (8/27 I should be able to see the R number on the back).

08/27/07 --- NOA1 Arrives from CSC and I create my account profile on the USCIS.Gov web-site (the clock starts)!!!

02/05/08 --- After 191 days NOA2 (Approval) comes at last!!!!

2/14/08 --- NVC sends letter saying that it's on the way to the US Embassy in Bangkok

2/25/08 --- She receives Packet 3 from the Embassy

3/29/08 --- She receives Packet 4 with interview date (July 11th).

3/30/08 --- I e-mail the Embassy asking to make the date earlier because I've already got our tickets for June 13th!!!

5/6/08 --- No help from the Embassy. Rebooked tickets and vacation till September.

5/21/08 --- Embassy calls her and moves interview to May 27th!!!!! You have got to be kidding me!!!

9/21/08 --- POE San Francisco!!!!

12/8/08 --- Married!!!!

12/15/08 --- Mail AOS + AP + EAD package to Chicago

12/28/08 --- Come back from vacation and find AOS/AP/EAD NOA 1 and Bio App notices in the mailbox!!!

1/13/09 --- Bio Appt

4/22/09 --- AOS Interview "APPROVED"!!!

3/04/2011 --- OUR BABY IS BORN... We have a son!!!!!

3/10/2011 --- Mail I-751 application to lift conditions on residency

3/12/2011 --- I-751 Package received by CSC

3/14/2011 --- NOA 1

You cannot travel internationally after the K-1 has been used without Advance Parole (filed for separately). If you do, you will be required to file for a new visa before settling in the US.

Any travel to countries they would need to get tourist visas for would still be on the basis of the fact that they are a citizen of whatever country they come from. They would still have to prove ties to the country of residence.

Travel back to one's home country after AOS isn't an issue.
