if YES, and his work visa is still valid at the time of your wedding, then no, you do not need to fill out any forms for advance permission to travel. he should travel with his visa as he would normally do otherwise. you will file all your documents with the government after you are legally married, so if you are getting married in mexico after your legal wedding, dont submit your legal docs until after you return from mexico to avoid any snafus.
second, will the work visa still be valid at the time of your wedding?
if NO, (you should be absolutely sure of the expiration date), then you will need to get married legally before the expiration date, and then YES, you WILL need to fill out the advance permission to travel form.

also, i have a whole bunch of documents our lawyer gave us about requirements for your interviews and such, so if anyone is interested, i will scan them and post. also, if you want me to send to you, you can PM me your email address and i will send. just let me know! His work Visa is valid for two more years. We are getting married before we leave so there isn't any extra complications during the citizenship process. Ryan talked to his lawyer that got him the Visa and he said it would be 4500 to get his Greencard then the citizen process. I would WAY rather do what I can myself. Ryan isn't worried about it but I am a lot cheaper than he is lol. So, any extra info you all can give me would be great. My email is
