    Default Can We Apply for Advance Parole Before Wedding (on K1)

    Simple question, but I can't seem to clearly find the answer...

    My fiance (a French citizen) and I will be married in December 2009 on his K1 Visa--assuming it is granted within the next 8 months. We want to celebrate the wedding in the Caribbean with our respective families. Originally we wanted to have the celebration very soon after the legal marriage, but I discovered the complications brought on by foreigh travel on a K1 Visa.

    I understand that the Advance Parole application will take about 90 days for approval. But when exactly can we apply for Advance Parole in the first place? I can't seem to tell from the application itself or the instructions.

    Thanks so much

    You can apply for advance parole when you apply for permanent residency. You would not want to travel internationally without advance parole, as a K visa allows for only one entry (which he would have made) or after petitioning for permanent residency. You'll get different opinions on whether it's safe to travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, or another U.S. protectorate; my suggestion is to "play it safe" by staying within the 50 states.
