USCIS I-485 help.
USCIS Form G325a Biographic Information
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.
Below is a short youtube video that describes how to get your Fiancee Visa

After your petition is approved, your fiancee must obtain a visa issued at a U.S. Embassy or consulate
abroad. Your fiancee must remain unmarried until the arrival of the fiancee in the U.S. The marriage
must take place within 90 days of your fiancee entering the United States. If the marriage does not take
place within 90 days or your fiancee marries someone other than you (the U.S. citizen filing the petition),
your fiancee will be required to leave the United States. Until the marriage takes place, your fiancee
is considered a nonimmigrant. A nonimmigrant is a foreign national seeking to temporarily enter the United
States for a specific purpose. A fiancee may not obtain an extension of the 90-day original nonimmigrant
admission.
If your fiancee intends to live and work permanently in the United States, your fiancee should apply to
become a permanent resident after your marriage. (If your fiancee does not intend to become a permanent
resident after your marriage, your fiancee/new spouse must leave the country within the 90-day original
nonimmigrant admission.) For information on applying for permanent resident status while your new spouse
is in the U.S., please see Becoming a Permanent Resident (Immigrant) While in the U.S. Your new spouse
will initially receive conditional permanent residence status for two years. Conditional permanent residency
is granted when the marriage creating the relationship is less than two years old at the time of adjustment
to permanent residence status. For more information, please see Removing Conditional Resident Status (from
Marriage).
Expert Tip # 5
Attach a typed cover letter to the I-129F. As you have attached many documents to the I-129F, sort these out in a logical order, then type a cover sheet as an index to list all of the documents submitted. A sample cover letter is shown at Fiancee Visa Secrets eBook. This will make it easier for the USCIS officer to review your file, to find the documents he is looking for. A neat, easy to examine package gives the impression that yours is a serious and sincere application. The less doubt the examining officer has regarding the sincerity of your application the faster it will be processed.
