Fiancee moves back to home country while K-1 is in process

[ILuvMyAussieGirl 0]

Let's say that my fiancee, who currently lives in Australia, moves back to South Korea (country of citizenship) while the K-1 application is still going on. How big of a mess would this cause? Would we be able to get the case transferred to the US Embassy in South Korea? If so, how would one go about doing that?

Side note: She has been living in Australia on a work visa for the past 5 years. It will expire in August 2nd, 2009 and she can't renew it. That's the reason she would have to move back home if the K-1 process isn't complete by August 2nd, 2009.

Please help! Thank you.

I would suspect it will be compleate and to the consulate well before Aug 09, that us more than a year from now.

But yes you can contact NVC or DOS once the petition moves from USCIS to NVC or Consulate and get case moved from Australia to South Korea.

Note you are filing for K-1, NOT Naturalization, you may want to correct profile and timeline.
