What do you mean?

As soon as you enter the US on K1 visa, it's done. It's only one-time visa. You cant keep using it to "visit" or "traveling". In fact if you leave US after entering on K1, without proper documents, you can't come back.

No. The K-1 expires once you enter the United States. With that being said, you clearly would not be able to use the K-1 to leave the United States.

sure as long as you have your EAD/AP card from your AOS application, that is the only way your going to be able to travel out of USA.

you can LEAVE the us ... you would not be able to RE-ENTER.

 

Once you have entered the US, you can not re-enter until your AP or greencard is complete

Depends?  Before entry?  After entry?  Do you want the ability to return after entry?

The title of your thread is

"Traveling whilst processing K1"

Do you mean while the petition and visa application are not yet finished, can you visit each other's country?

YES

The K-1 visa is a one time only entry into the country with the sole purpose to marry, apply for a GC and EAD/EP card. The EAD/EP card will allow you to leave the US while you are waiting for your GC. It's been suggested and I agree that you should only leave in the case of a family emergency and not a vacation. CPB at immigration continues to have the responsibility to either allow or decline your desire to reenter the US. They also will determine if the time "out of country" meets the need for the emergency. If you are out a week to ten days, that can be viewed as "normal" but being gone for 60 days is looked upon that you have abandon your status (GC application) and they will deny you re-entry. Their are so many more "topics" or "pit falls" concerning the use of the EAD/EP, too many to go into now. There are many threads on this topic if you want to read further.

 

Just don't abuse the privilege.
