Miriams B1/B2 is valid for another 9 years, why dont I just cancel my K-1 application which was received last Friday by USCIS in Vermont and go the other route, that way we won't be apart and can apply for an adjustment of status once married, seems like I dropped the ball by sending her back and I feel really terrible.

Primarily because it is likely to be seen as attemped visa fraud. By filing the I-129F petition you have declared the foreign fiance's intention to enter the US, marry you and immigrate and you've embarked on the appropriate path to do so. To now enter on a B2 visa with intent to marry and immigrate based on that marriage, is clear visa fraud.

Thanks for that, I will stick with the K-1 Visa, but once the Letter comes NOA come showing a number and case etc, I will scan a copy and send it to her then she will come and visit me for a while on her B2, based on my other question about visiting the USA while the K-1 process is ongoing, which everybody tells me is okay since you are being honest about your visiting intentions.

Why are you waiting for a letter? She can come anytime she wants as long as she doesn't overstay or otherwise misuse her visa.

She came over in September and stayed with me until December 28th, I sent her back because I was afraid of the adjustment of status process making her return and so I think if she comes back so soon it might raise a flag ever though she was coming and going all the time for her job, I would like her to have a copy of the letter to back up any questions that might be asked by CBP just in case as people on here have suggested.

Poor guy.

This whole thing sucks, doesn't it?

Push is right. She can try to come back anytime on that B visa if she likes. Your petition filing isn't the only proof she might need to get in though. She's going to need to bring proof of ties to her country - proof that she intends to return.

She could be denied entry at any time, unfortunately. Just make sure that when she does come back, you've got lots of varying proof that she will be returning home.

Good luck.

Okay shes flying in on Thursday, I have typed a letter for her explaining shes visiting me with all of my contact info, since I dont have an NOA-1 yet I have told her to print out the I-129F and supporting docs plus a letter from her job stating shes off for that amount of time and a bank statement and a utility bill, not forgetting her B1/B2 Visa, I got to beleive thats all she needs, shes staying until Feb 26th, maybe they will give her a three month I-94 or better, no need to return till she gets her stuff from the Consulate right?

Shes here! and they gave her 6 months on her I-94, no need to go back anytime soon, hope she can stay until the medical and interview if it comes before the end of the 6 months.
