Just wondering, are there any restrictions pertaining to traveling within the United States whether it be by air or land with a K-1 Visa??

To my knowledge you can enter through any POE (Port of Entry) into US territory. I know for fact that this is the case for land borders from Canada.

I believe it is the case from Mexican border crossings as well.

Okay, my question is once my fiance has made entry through a border POE, can we take a flight from lets say El Paso, TX to Phoenix, AZ without having issues?

Domestic travel within the US? (Sorry, I just now see that you wrote "within" in your original post).. Sure, no problem!!

You and she can travel to your hearts content anywhere you like within the 50 US states, Guam, Puerto Rico...

Make sure she has valid photo ID before boarding a plane however: her passport, drivers license, etc. will do just fine.

No restrictions
Technically, perhaps, but in reality, not quite. Be VERY conscientious about road travel around the southern U.S. border, with all the inland Customs & Border Protection checkpoints! Be CERTAIN to marry within the 90 days of U.S. entry. Then, be CERTAIN to carry a certified copy of the marriage certificate with you at all times. Be CERTAIN to apply for AOS preferably within the 90 days, or not long after. Until the NOA1 for the AOS package is in hand, carry a copy of your AOS-package cover-letter at all times, as proof that you have applied. In short, carry the most recent evidence of your lawful-immigrant status with you at all times until you have your green card! This cannot be emphasized enough. Edited by TBoneTX
