USCIS I-485 help.
USCIS Form I-765 application for Employment Authorization
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.

So you have finally found the woman that you plan to spend the rest of your life with. Now comes the fun part….
paperwork. To bring your lady home, you need to get her a visa that must be applied for through the I.N.S. Now
before you get nervous (as I did the first time I read about visa info) let me assure you that it is really not
that difficult. I say this because I found another resource that may aid you in making the immigration process
easier. The best method of accomplishing this is to get your lady a K-1 or fianceee visa. This is, by far, the
fastest method of bringing your lady home. The entire process will take about 3-6 months. That is very fast
considering that the average regular immigration visa can take years. The key to this process is to make sure
that you fill out the forms completely and correctly. When you have all of the supporting documents, it should
take approximately one evening for the forms to be completed and sent to the INS.
Expert Tip # 10
If possible, accompany your Fiancée to her interview at the consulate. Attending the interview clearly confirms you in the role of a sincere and concerned future husband. And if the visa is approved shortly thereafter you can accompany your future bride on the trip to the U.S.
