USCIS I-485 help.
Fiancee K-1 Visa Adjustment of Status Adjustment of Status I-485 support
Once the couple marries, USCIS MUST be notified in order to change the Fiancee's status from that of a foreigner visiting the U.S. for 90 days, to that of a foreigner now married to a U.S. citizen entitled to remain in the U.S. indefinitely as a Permanent Resident. The form to use is I-485, Adjustment of Status. As soon as possible the I-485 should be completed and submitted to USCIS. When this is approved, her status is officially changed to that of a Conditional Resident. She is given a drivers licence sized id card confirming her permission to remain in the U.S. . This is traditionally called her "Green Card".
Don't plan to leave the U.S. for your honeymoon. While waiting for the "Green Card" it is best that the Fiancee NOT travel outside of the U.S. . After she receives it she can travel freely.
Advanced Parole:
There may come a need for your Fiancee (now your spouse) to leave the U.S. before the "Green Card" arrives. She should notify USCIS via form I-131 Advance Parole. This will allow her to travel, and reenter the U. S. and to obtain her "Green Card." Should she leave without obtaining the Advance Parole before her Conditional Residency is approved, she may lose her eligibility for residence and be required to start the visa petition process all over again, this time applying for s spousal K-3 visa. It is best she waits until the "Green Card" arrives.

A K-1 visa is a United States nonimmigrant visa benefiting fiancees and fianceees of US citizen petitioners. The
Application is made by the petitioner in the US on a USCIS form I-129F filed by mail at a USCIS Regional Center.
The Applicant must provide detailed information and supporting documentation to establish that both parties are
legally free to marry, have met each other, intend to marry, do not have disqualifying criminal histories
(so-called crimes of moral turpitude), and proof of identity and citizenship. Recent changes to the Law also
limit the number of petitions a Petitioner can make, and the Petitioner must not have a criminal history of
sexual or partner abuse. Other recent changes in the Law also severely limit the role of marriage agencies
in the introductions, and any involvement must be disclosed.
