Well you couldn't do the K1 if you are married. If you get married you would need to go the CR-1 route, you could try the K3 but the processing times are similar and the K3 is really obsolete. So if you don't get married then you go the K-1. If you get married you will have to do the CR-1.
The K-1 wouldn't necessarily keep him from traveling once approved, he comes here and has 90 days to get married and file the AOS and that's it.
If you go K1 he could just get advance parole before he travels.
Advance ParoleAdvance parole is issued solely to authorize the temporary parole of a person into the United States. The document may be accepted by a transportation company (airlines) instead of a visa as an authorization to travel to the United States.
An advance parole document does not replace your passport.
Advance parole is most commonly used when someone has Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status, pending. If you depart the U.S. while your I-485 application is pending without first obtaining advance parole, your case will be denied unless you fit into a narrow exception for those maintaining certain nonimmigrant statuses.

This is a decision you want to make; most people I saw yesterday in Los Angeles were somewhat dressed up and the atmosphere was excited and happy. All the guests for the applicants were there to cheer and make sure that the applicant's day was special. Some people were dressed in jeans but most were in dressier clothes and it's just what you feel makes for a truly special day, because that's what it is. People usually dress up for special occasions and I think it's appropriate to so so. Your wife is becoming a citizen of United States so make it special for both of you! A little effort makes for big rewards and shows that you care.

It really is irrelevant what the citizen-to-be's guest wears and it doesn't affect anything if even the citizen-to-be wears jeans. Wear what you're comfortable in. If you'd like to have nice pictures together then wear nice clothes.
The whole stand up when they mention your country thing is just a cutesy move - nobody really cares where you're from..... its just a nice little representation to show the variety of countries represented that day.

From the us consulate in Barbados. This explains it fairly well.
Can I travel to the U.S. while my application for an immigrant visa is being processed?
If you intend to take up permanent residence in the United States, you are required to wait until the immigrant or fiancé(e) visa is issued. You cannot reside in the U.S. on a tourist visa or travel there visa free under the Visa Waiver Program while awaiting the issuance of an immigrant or fiancé(e) visa. However, if you wish to make a short visit for business or pleasure at the end of which you will return to your permanent residence outside the U.S., you may travel on a tourist (B-2) visa, or visa free under the Visa Waiver Program, if qualified.
If applying for a B-2 visa, you are required to furnish evidence of your residence outside the U.S. to which you intend to return at the end of your temporary stay. Although a pending immigrant or fiancé(e) visa application is not necessarily conclusive evidence of intent to abandon your overseas residence, it is certainly a factor considered by consular officers reviewing a visa application. If you are unable to convince the consular officer reviewing the application that you do not intend to abandon your overseas residence, you will not be issued a visa.
When traveling to the U.S. either with a visa or visa free under the Visa Waiver Program, you should be sure to carry with you, for presentation to the U.S. Immigration Offier, evidence of your residence outside the U.S. If the Immigration Officer is not convinced that you are a bona fide short term visitor for pleasure, you will be denied entry into the United States regardless of whether you hold a tourist visa or not

The reason a sibling can't do what is suggested is that from filing until a visa number is available ( and she could file AOS ) is over 12 years. Overstays are never forgiven for siblings. She can come see how the US is today , he can file the I 130 and then she can see if the US is still the same in 14 years when she can get a visa there is NO way for a sibling to immigrate in less than 12 years through a sibling petition

I believe under federal law you must carry your green card when you are not home. Now as per carrying your id. . There may not be a law on the books but the police may detain you for 24 hours until they can verify who you are. So your right you don't have to carry id and if u get a pissed off cop he could lock you up for the day. Why not just carry your id and avoid extra b.s lol. I've been thrown put of the car before when I was younger as a passenger for not having id. I was also delivering news papers at 2am so it didn't look too good. My wife always carries her green card just to avoid issues. She's never been asked to show it (she has only been asked for her dl) but the law is the law and she abides the law.

Your visa stamp in your passport serves as temporary proof of permanent residence for 1 year when indorsed. So I believe you can travel with that once its endorsed. Its stated on the bottom of the visa page.
"SERVES AS TEMPORARY I-551 EVIDENCING PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR 1 YEAR”,
Just don't leave for long, there's a set amount of time you are allowed to leave before they pull your green card.
The only time you would need fingerprints after this step is if you remove barriers to get the IR1 or the N-400.

You got the Stokes interview meaning your relationship didn't seem legitimate to the officer or you failed to provide enough documentation proving your bona fide marriage.
Heres a website that helped me prepare for my interview with my wife.

Keep in mind these guys are well trained, my interview consisted of only 3 questions because I provided ample amounts of documentation things they can put their hands on. They have to justify to their selves why they granted the visa so the more proof the better.

After a period of 30 days I believe that makes you a resident. I ran in to an issue with my wife here in NY. She had an Ecuadorian license and a valid NYS learners permit. Under the law after 30 days of living in NY she had to switch but the gray side she could drive by her self with a NYS learners permit and the Ecuadorian license. She did get pulled over and issued tickets because the police officer did not know the law. A simple letter to the DA and judge siting the law ( or in my case pointing them to the DMV's website) got the case dismissed and now she went on to get her USA drivers license.
