Yes, this is what I thought as I have been through those internal checkpoints. The I94 from the K1 entry shows she is authorized to stay in the US for 90 days. This should suffice for any internal CBP checkpoints assuming you are inside that 90 day window.

I tend to agree, it is required to file the I131 re-entry permit application from within the U.S., and also fulfill the biometrics (if required) before actually leaving. To @Vabsmith, a slight amendment to my suggestion, get the I751 in process when their window opens, and then get the I131 filled out. Then come back to the U.S. for I751 biometrics and submit the I131 immediately upon return. Hopefully, the NOA for the I131 will show up very soon after.

Welcome! Immigration can indeed be daunting, and many folks use a lawyer or a service to assist. Regardless of if you do it yourself, or use a lawyer or service, the petitioner (you), and the beneficiary (your fiancé) needs to be well educated in the process as lawyers and services require you both to provide the material and evidence needed for the petition and eventual visa application. It is also a good idea for the couple to scrutinize any form or submission that will be submitted in their name. In the end, it is the couple’s choice on how to proceed. @TBoneTX already provided a good comparison between the K1 and spousal visa (CR1/IR1), so I will not repeat that. You need to decide what is most important and see which one fits you best. Good Luck!

To my knowledge this will not impact the interview location unless you actually requested the change of consulates. She will have to disclose the additional residency when she fills out the DS160 or at the interview and if she is there for more than six months, I believe she will need a police report from that third country. Good Luck!

Is that child counted as a dependent by the co-sponsor?

So a gun control group does not feel it needs to bey the gun control laws? San Juan sheriff initiates investigation into New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence buybacks in Farmington Dec. 18—The San Juan County Sheriff's Office is investigating whether a Santa Fe-based gun violence prevention organization violated a state law on firearms transactions — raising questions about the legality of the group's gun buyback program that for years has received accolades. New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence had championed a bill creating the law, which requires background checks for most private firearms transactions. "I don't have anything against the New Mexicans [to Prevent] Gun Violence folks," San Juan County Sheriff Shane Ferrari said Monday. "I just need to make sure they're operating lawfully like everyone else," added the sheriff, who said he personally doesn't believe gun buybacks curb crime. https://www.aol.com/san-juan-sheriff-initiates-investigation-043300056.html

Not a lot of MSM coverage of this. Wonder why… Hundreds of US synagogues receive bomb threats as spree continues despite arrests Hundreds of synagogues and Jewish institutions across the United States received bomb threats by email this weekend, in a substantial acceleration of a months-long spree of hoax threats. The Secure Community Network, which coordinates security for Jewish institutions nationwide, said early Sunday that it had tracked 199 threats over the past 24 hours, with nearly 100 in California and 62 in Arizona. Synagogues in at least 17 states plus Washington, D.C., were affected, according to local media reports. None of the threats were deemed credible after local investigations. But some of them caused significant disruption: A Boulder, Colorado, synagogue evacuated its Shabbat morning services on Saturday, for example, while a congregation in western Massachusetts canceled its Sunday religious school. https://www.jta.org/2023/12/17/united-states/hundreds-of-us-synagogues-receive-bomb-threats-as-spree-continues-despite-arrests

Here is what I would do. File the I751 as soon as the window opens, then 2-3 weeks later file the I131 (either DHL to the appropriate lockbox, or through your relatives). Once the first biometrics appointment letter arrives (I assume someone is getting your/her mail daily and can let you know), travel to the US. Hopefully, the 2nd biometrics letter will arrive shortly after, and she can take both to the appointment and complete both. The extension letter for the I751 should have arrived by then. Of course this is all hypothetical from a timing perspective, but it could work. Good Luck!

I am not quite sure how best to time everything. Technically the I131 has to be filed from within the U.S., but there is a FedEx/DHL option. Others can chime in, but I suppose you could send both the I751 and I131 to their respective lockboxes and wait for the first I797 NOA requesting biometrics, and then get her to the U.S. If you have relatives or contacts in the U.S., you might be able to send it to them, and let them mail both from within the U.S. You also need to make sure the notices will get to someone that can notify you of their receipt. If you do it that way, (if possible, others can comment), you might be able to keep the visit relatively short. Good Luck!

She can do that next time she is in the U.S. regardless of the I751 status. Probably best to have it ready to go when she comes back for the I751 biometrics, and submit it immediately upon her return. Hopefully the biometrics are at the same time, and then she can leave when the extension letter arrives assuming she has fulfilled the biometrics for the re-entry permit. She can have the re-entry permit card sent to the consulate in India after that.
