If you are together in the US now and ready to get married, why not marry already then start the CR1 spouse visa process after you return to your country?  K1 has so many disadvantages like not being able to work and travel freely for many months after entering the US.
 

Has your I-94 date of exit already passed? If the time they gave you is the typical 6 months of allowed stay you should be ok. 

Good to read. From your original post I read it as if you had been married already for 4 months. Good luck with your gallbladder issues, I also have been debating for some time if I should remove mine or not. 😖  For the K1 the advise would be to also file early as it takes a good time for it to be approved (6-9 months but COVID is rendering all times to be longer). You would still have 6 months after the K-1 is issued to come and marry. So time it carefully if you want to limit how long you are apart. 

Only advice is that you have lost some precious time by waiting so long after the marriage to start looking into the process given your tourist visa status. From my understanding you have to file the Adjustment of Status before the exit date of your I-94 tourist stay in order to remain  lawfully present in the US. If your spouse is a US Citizen it should be a problem for your AOS approval if you file past the I-94 expiration, but still puts you at risk in the rare case you get in trouble with the law or ICE, complicating your situation more. Also can cause trouble if you need to travel given the overstay.  The marriage itself does not grant you the right to stay in US. File as early as possible so your stay is authorized while you wait for it to be processed.
