going on vacation after K1 visa

[virgel]

I was wondering my fiance and I are applying right now for the K1 visa. How long after we get married will we be able to leave the country for a vacation? And how long after we are married will it take for my future wife to become a permanent citizen.

Once you have your 129f petition approved which can take approx 5 months your fiancee will then be given instructions for her visa in her home country. Once she arrives here in US you then have 90 days to marry which I am sure you know. Then once you are married and before I-94 expires it is recommended to apply for AOS (adjustment of status) which can take another 2-4 months. When you apply for AOS you will include EAD (work authorisation if needed) and AP (advance parole) She cannot travel until she has AP in hand or receives Green card which ever comes first. She has to be a US resident for 3 years before applying citizenship. Hope this helps and answers your questions.
