Guys and Gals I have a question....after my fiance comes to the US and we get married via the K-1 Fiance Visa can we go to Japan to visit? We want to get married here and then go back to Japan to celebrate with her family. Is this possible?

You will need to apply for AOS, and along with that, you will apply for the I-765(EAD-work authorization) and I-131(AP-advance parole for travel). The fees for those 2 forms are waived when filed with a pending I-485. You will need the AP or green card before leaving the US, or you will abandon your eligibility to adjust status.

Depends on the timing.

Leaving the US is not the problem. Coming back might be.

If your spouse leaves the US with AP, then your spouse will be able to reenter the US. It takes about 90 days after marriage and filing for AP with the AOS to get AP.

If your spouse leaves the US without AP, then your spouse will need a CR-1 visa to reenter the US. This will take 6-12 months.

Your spouse can not use the VWP to enter the US with the intent to immigrate.

Having a child would not enable her to stay. Good luck

You are removing conditions and not adjusting status. There is an ROC forum here on VJ, and they have threads for each month's filers. If you look at the Sept 2015 filers thread, it appears no one whose case is at Vermont has been approved yet > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/562894-i-751-september-2015-filers/page-24
