Thanks for your replies. How long would she be allowed to stay in Mexico if we applied for the AP after getting legally married here? I'm thinking that another option for the timing might be to get married in August/September to allow the AP more time to get processed, that way we wouldn't be timing it so tight. Also, I spoke to a representative at USCIS earlier today regarding AP and he informed me that that was only for emergencies, and it wouldn't apply in our case. Basically, he told me that she would have to stay in the US after we got married and wait until she got her green card to be able to leave the country. Was he right or did I get a partially correct answer? And N&S, a Spring wedding would be really nice but we think Winter would be too

Hi everybody.

My fiancee and I would like to get married this year both in Mexico and the United States. We'd really like to get married through our church in the US December 2015 but also want to get legally married in Mexico beforehand so that her family and friends who aren't able to obtain a visa may at least attend our civil union. If I were to apply for a K1 visa now, and were then to legally marry my fiancee in the US around October/November 2015 (it would just be a signing ceremony), could we then fly to Mexico, hold another civil wedding there (so that Mexico may recognize us as a married couple), and then return to the US to hold our church wedding in December without running into any issues? I'm aware that after we get legally married in the US, my fiancee would be required to stay in the country until the adjustment of status process is done, but is there a way around this (such as the advance parole application)? I'd really appreciate any helpful suggestions.

Thank you!
