Where are you planning to have honeymoon??

[sara80 17]

Southern California is great!! :) You're going to have such an awesome time.

I think I should prob start planning what I want to go and see, just to keep busy until you-know-what comes

We talked about the sooner vs later aspect and decided that for us it's best to take the honeymoon while he can't work. That way only one of us is losing time from work. Since I own my own practice, I don't get paid time off and he's a teacher so any vacation time when he is working would be on a school break = Disney hell lol.

I've thought about that: how difficult it will be to coordinate vacations for two people once he's working. But conversely, I can imagine that he won't be all that eager to take a big, expensive trip before he's working, so I guess it comes down to that whole time/money continuum that no one ever seems to avoid.

We are going to Miami and Disney World straight after I get my visa so it will be our honey moon before the actual wedding day then next year we will have a proper reception and we will probably head to Hawaii! And then again, once I get the green card we are promised a reception by his dad in Taiwan so that will be sort of a honeymoon as well! No idea where will we get the money for all that from but that's the plan

We´d like to go to Puerto Rico... since it´s US territory, I hope so! Well, I dont wanna jump ahead of myself... hehe we´ll see as soon as we see some kind of progress to our journey..

I think we're going to do a road trip.... we're both big into road trips, and I think it'd be awesome to do something like St. Petersburg FL - Disney for a day or two - over through Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc for a few days - Texas and then over to California.

If we had time, I'd love to hit up the east coast too!

Well, I'll be living about 45 minutes from Disney World in Florida....so I'm opting for something/somewhere I haven't been to yet in the US. maybe Washington...maybe Boston....

5.12)...Is it okay for us to go to the US Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico on our honeymoon without Advance Parole?

A...Maybe not a wise thing to do. Even though these islands are US territories or possessions, you may have to deal with Immigration and Customs to get back to the United States. You might have trouble getting back home if you encounter an insane USCIS (INS) inspector, plus, there are too many opportunities to "technically" leave US jurisdiction (by visiting the adjacent islands, for example). Best to take the honeymoon somewhere in the 50 States, where there is plenty to see and do.

A..Let me make it as clear as it was explained to me and which the regulation bears out: So long as the K-1'er does not depart ("depart" is also defined in the reg.) the US after making a legal entry s/he can travel to any other location which includes the USVI, PR, Guam, Hawaii, and Alaska.

The inspector I spoke to gave clear examples. (My alien fiancée) can enter the US and we can fly directly from the mainland to the USVI. We can go wherever we want on the islands so long as we don't "touch" ground or water not under US jurisdiction. When we leave she shows her K-1 and I-94 to immigration (which shows she legally entered the US) and off we fly directly to the mainland. However, if while we are there (USVI) we decided to take a trip to the British islands then she would be denied re-entry. I know I used "directly" in this example but we could fly "outbound" mainland-PR-USVI and "inbound" USVI-PR-mainland without fear because in this case she never "departs" the US.

Inspectors (both mainland and USVI) told me that this is not an unusual occurrence. They see K-1'ers all the time.

Whereabouts are you moving to?

I'll be in the St. Petersburg area... about an hour-hour and a half from Disney World

[fantonledzepp 159]

Thanks for the heads up. Will probably hold off on PR then....

We were thinking about Las Vegas and the surrounding tourist areas, but nothing is settled just yet.
