She will have to wait until after your married (unless she has some dire emergency and can show proof and apply for the waiver) and you apply for her adjustment of status (AOS) and it is approved, unless you apply for advanced parole with the AOS application. Reguardless I think it will take about 6 months from after the time you file the AOS. She should have her 2 year green card by then.

She can receive advance parole about three months after filing AOS, EAD and Advance Parole. Sometimes the AP can be obtained faster if there is an emergency but sometimes not. AP cannot be applied for before the marriage.

While the answer needs to be K-1 specific, this is not a topic about the visa process but about travel after entry into the USA... moving this thread
