No, you cannot travel abroad without a physical green card or a valid travel document such as an Advance Parole document. While your green card application may have been approved, you still need the actual green card in hand in order to re-enter the United States after traveling abroad.

A US citizen over 21 years old can sponsor mom and dad for their green cards. At the interview you will be required to prove that you have taken concrete steps to move back to and make the United States your domicile.

The short answer is yes. The issues may arise when it comes to setting up a crypto wallet unless you already have that. But generally your visa status and your legal right to purchase liquid assets are not directly related.

You can. However, a USCIS officer might say that you were actually lying about what you were coming to the USA to do in the first place. This is especially if you do not plan to return home after the ceremony and file for adjustment of status here in the USA.

The B-1/B-2 visa is a non- immigrant visa that requires a lack of immigrant intent.
The K-1 requires an immigrant intent.
For these reasons, the request for the B-1/B-2 will have to be abandoned if you wish to pursue the K-1 fiancée visa.
Good luck to you.
