Filing K1 visa after being denied B1/B2

[C and Lore 3]

My fiancee recently was just denied for a tourist visa. She did not apply for the purpose of getting married. She was going to come with her sister to go on a cruise with me and my mom and we were going to visit Orlando, Cleveland, and possibly Seattle. Anyway long story short I told her to mark she had no fiancee here as we were going to tell them we got engaged on the cruise.

Well when they went to their interview last week she and her sister didnt have everything to prove that they were definitely not intending to immigrate. She also had them do the interview in English which she's fluent in but her sister is not so it made the interview a bit difficult. So they denied her and her sister both based on that. They still dont know about me here.

Since she was denied we obviously don't want to spend anymore time apart thats not necessary. So we want to begin filing for the K1 so in June she'll have it and can come back with me when I visit then (in June 2011.)

Being that she wasn't denied because they think she's lying or anything like that should there be a problem? I was planning to maybe tell them either that I was going to propose on our trip but since it didn't happen I proposed on cam or that it was a clerical error as she filled out her and her sister's form's and her sister is not engaged at present that she accidentally marked both as no. Of course this is if they even ask about her previous denial and subsequent K1 petition. If they don't then we wont worry about it.

What is the general thought about this. I have documentation that proves her trip was preplanned for the point of a vacation and not to circumvent immigration laws. I have receipts from the cruise we were supposed to take with my mom that was booked Dec 2009 which was before the date that I really did propose.

Any thoughts would be appreciate!

There is nothing to worry about. These are two exclusive events. Her being denied only means that she was told no. She didn't do anything wrong, by either requesting it or by being denied. It will have zero effect on the K-1 process.
