Just sent mine in to the Dallas address via USPS on 3/7/2020, and expect it to arrive on 3/9/2020. I have never had any issues with the USPS priority system, and its updates via text and email are easy to set up (and free). I did cave into the mania and included a couple of notarized affidavits. The rest was the USCIS forms / copies of:
 
check
cover letter
G1145
I751 (Dec 2019 edition)
green card, passport, visa page, driver's license
citizen spouse's passport and driver's license
deed for home, mortgage info, previous rental leases
one type of each major utility bill at each place we lived together, in immigrant's name
2017 and 2018 jointly filed tax transcripts + 2019 joint return
statements on a joint checking account we opened after arrival in the US
health insurance info showing both spouses on each other's coverage and beneficiaries
auto and home insurance policies
employment info for immigrant - w2s and a couple of pay stubs at each address
4-5 receipts for flights we took together
couple of notarized affidavits using the format people uploaded on the site here
 
Did not submit anything prior to entry to the US since that was basically all in the CR-1 application.

Hi Private Davis. As someone who recently completed a similar process while on active-duty in Korea, I would like to put in a plug for making sure that you avail yourself of all of the advice that your legal service office can offer on this topic. There are also a great number of service members in Korea who have done the same thing that it sounds like you are trying to do, many of them with many years of experience and on their 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th tour in Korea. So in addition to the legal service office, I would recommend seeing if you could speak with some NCOs and senior NCOs who have done something similar (there are many). 
 
The huge advantage that overseas service members have in countries like Korea and Japan is direct consular filing, but that is not available for a K1 fiancé visa. Please make sure you also read up at:

You'll get lots of advice on this. But in general, if its meant to be, the wait for a K1 visa won't stop you guys. Rushing into a marriage on the other hand, can have some long lasting consequences. Good luck to you.
