Travel outside the US before Entry

[caryfitz]

Hello! My fiancee and I just received her K-1 Visa the other day. We want to travel to the Dominican Republic before she enters the US. Will this be a problem? Thank you!

she has six months to use the visa when she get it to come IN to the US. After she arrives she cannot leave until she gets her green card i believe. But prior to entering the US she can go wherever she wants.

Once here, she can leave but with advance parole permission only. Or AOS will be considered abandoned.

i didn't know that bernie, thanks =). To file for advanced parole, it has to be some sort of emergency then i assume, can't be to fly out to visit my dogs birthday right?
