USCIS I-485 help.
Spouse K-3 Adjustment of Status
Once the couple marries, USCIS MUST be notified in order to change the Fiancee's status from that of a foreigner visiting the U.S. for 90 days, to that of a foreigner now married to a U.S. citizen entitled to remain in the U.S. indefinitely as a Permanent Resident. The form to use is I-485, Adjustment of Status. As soon as possible the I-485 should be completed and submitted to USCIS. When this is approved, her status is officially changed to that of a Conditional Resident. She is given a drivers licence sized id card confirming her permission to remain in the U.S. . This is traditionally called her "Green Card".
Don't plan to leave the U.S. for your honeymoon. While waiting for the "Green Card" it is best that the Fiancee NOT travel outside of the U.S. . After she receives it she can travel freely.
Advanced Parole:
There may come a need for your Fiancee (now your spouse) to leave the U.S. before the "Green Card" arrives. She should notify USCIS via form I-131 Advance Parole. This will allow her to travel, and reenter the U. S. and to obtain her "Green Card." Should she leave without obtaining the Advance Parole before her Conditional Residency is approved, she may lose her eligibility for residence and be required to start the visa petition process all over again, this time applying for s spousal K-3 visa. It is best she waits until the "Green Card" arrives.

A fiancee is a person who is engaged or contracted to be married. The marriage must be legally possible
according to laws of the state in the United States where the marriage will take place.
In general, the two people must have met in person within the past two years. The Department of Homeland
Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) grants some exceptions to this requirement.
For example, it may be contrary in some traditions for a man and woman to meet before marriage.
Sometimes the USCIS considers a person a fiancee even though a marriage contract has been concluded.
In such cases, the American citizen petitioner and his/her spouse have not met, and they have not consummated
the marriage.
If you are an American citizen and you want your foreign fiancee to travel to the United States to marry
you and live in the U.S., you must file Petition for Alien fiancee in the United States.
Expert Tip # 8
Send copies of all supporting documents you attached to the I-129F, and I-134 to your Fiancee. She should review these and be intimately conversant with their contents. She should bring all of these documents to her interview at the consulate. For some documents she may be required to present originals, or certified copies of originals, make sure she gets these well in advance of her interview.
