My fiance is from philippines and has recently gotten her approval and visa through the K-1. She will be coming here in july2007 and we will get married as soon as possible we are wanting to also get married in philippines this december 2007 is there a specific time limit she has to stay in the USA before leaving to go to philippines for christmas.

Your fiance, once married to you, will not be able to leave the US and successfully return until she has applied for and received her Advance Parole paperwork. The AP is needed for her to be allowed to re-enter the USA. Currently it is taking approximately 90 days for AP to be granted.

AP or Greencard, but your more likely to get AP before you will will get a green card.

Married is married. Once you're married, you don't "get married" again. If you want to have some sort of ceremony or celebration in the Philippines, no problem but you will already be "married".

Your "wife" will need advanced parole to re-enter the USA. There is no minimum time she must stay in the USA before leaving but there is a maximum time (one year) she can be abroad without a re-entry permit.

Not exactly true. She needs to get married & files for AOS/EAD/AP, and it will take 70-90 days to get AP.

The English language is a wonderful thing. We write in phrases, sentences, paragraphs and chapters etc.

You quoted one sentence in a two-sentence paragraph. The sentence you didn't quote reads. "Your "wife" will need advanced parole to re-enter the USA. " I think "wife" pretty much covers getting married and "advanced parole to re-enter the USA" pretty much covers AP. Filing EAD is optional and you must file AOS to file for AP.

I quoted the relevant (& incorrect) sentence.



Your sentence is misleading. The OP may not know what AP is or how long it takes to get.

Quoting only one sentence removes the context. AP was explained in a post shortly before mine.
