Google flights is a great flight search engine, highly recommend (you can play around with dates too).

Since they are busy preparing their wedding and return to China, I think it might also be useful to delegate that search to a travel agent.  AAA does it for free for members here; but it would be a small price to pay to have someone find the best itinerary at a reasonable price, and insure she is leaving on time.

Hello, my Chinese fiance is currently in the US on a K1. Our situation is unique because even if we get married within 90 days, we both need to return to China in Sept. for work. (Her 90 days is up on Sept. 13). However, the flight tickets to China before that point are at least $8K, which is about 15x the normal price. Does anyone know whether the USCIS has issued a waiver for this situation, or if we can apply for extension due to these extenuating circumstances? Thank you!!

USCIS does not care how much flights cost to leave, it's not their problem. There is no extension for a K-1, you either marry within 90 days or leave. Just being honest.

May I ask what WC is? Forgive me but all I can conjure up is Womens Restroom 

WC is nongendered.  It is Water Closet.  Every English house has one.

I have never seen a single person on this site, a regular or otherwise, ever say say that DIY immigration is easy, fast or cheap. Not once in my 11 years on this site.

Quite the opposite!

As already said, extenuating circumstances are something that is not under one's control. You are created your circumstances with your full conscience. Uscis doesn't care about that.

Well, you can choose to not go at all or go much later when it's cheaper. 

 

 

I find it crazy that people find ways to clog up this far too congested pipeline even more. I simply can't imagine myself going through ALL that miserable waiting, being apart from my soon to be wife (yay), only for us to abandon the whole idea of a K1 visa after finally entering the country....  Sorry, just my personal thought and opinion because it does bring up some emotions.

 I was looking at flights to Hong Kong yesterday via American Airlines, they were very high and very limited number of flights. I was under the impression Hong Kong still had some kind of quarantine.

Back to the original question:  There will be no extension of an I-94 due to high travel costs.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

The time line area of your Visa Journey profile would be a better place for documenting a timeline.
