fiance visa vs tourist visa

[jochanin]

I am a US citizen and my fiance is from korea, we applied for an 128F visa in July and received the I-797 in August. when we applied they said it would take 6-8 months but the time frame keeps getting pushed back and with the surge in new applicants last summer it appears it could take a year or more for her to come. This seems like a very very long time, and it is putting a great deal of strain on our relationship.
is it possible for her to come on a tourist visa (which she already has), and get married and apply for a an I-130 and wait for her approval here or will this be considered immigration fraud and she is sent back to wait in korea because she came as a tourist?
also will they even let her in the country on her tourist visa because we have applied for the I 128F?

thanks for any insight to the matter

it will be considered fraud. You must wait. Or get married in Korea and file for a spousal visa, which has more priority with the consulate.

1. Her visitor visa will be denied because she is now in the system as an intending immigrant (by filing of I-129F petition), and 2. Applying for a visitor visa after filing an I-129F may even lead to denial of her fiancee visa at this consulate later on as well.
