Well here's the first step of progress towards this issue:
 
I reached out to lawyer Marc Ellis and he advised that he's RETIRED.  However, he did give me the names of a few lawyers in my area who might be able to help.  Also he pointed out that this issue is clearly "MISREPRESENTATION that should warrant a waiver and not a NOID as it is not grounds to deny our application since we'd already answered the RFE proving that he was not married.
 
Anyway, I'll continue posting our status throughout this issue.

@MaleAlpha....thank you again for your great insight and helpfulness.  The false misrepresentation on my husband's part was definitely not willful, and we do intend to hire an experienced lawyer in this matter.  Regardless of the various feedback posts received in response to our situation, my focus is that there is a glimmer of hope in this entire ordeal, and I appreciate the helpful resource information shared.  Although no marriage is perfect, I trust my husband.  If in all the  years I've known him, I would never have married him if I believed he was someone who would willfully lie to me.  The immigration process on top of all life's other demands is challenge enough, and marriage encounters obstacles but a husband/wife determined to build a strong foundation can overcome, and that is exactly what my husband and I intend to do, overcome. 
 
I will provide the outcome of our issue as we progress.  Thank you again for your helpfulness.

MaleAlpha--thank you very much for sharing a relevant example, along with the encouragement that something of this nature could possibly be overcome.  While everyone's feedback has been insightful and appreciated, yours caused me to at least lift my head because it answered my initial question of whether anyone had a similar experience that may have resulted in some kind of hope at the end of the tunnel.  Sometimes it can feel like there is no hope when it comes to immigration and having others offer understanding and support goes a long way towards helping you get back up when you feel the wind has been knocked out of you.

Not true, the OP is welcome to apply for a visitor Visa at anytime. If asked at the interview about a pending application or why she is visiting the US as long as the OP is honest and doesn't lie or misrepresent anything they will be fine. Now, having a pending K1 may reduce her chances of getting the visa because a K1 does show some serious intent to immigrate to the US and will more than likely cause a denial. But OP can apply anytime. It ends up being a 160 US dollar roll of the dice, and anything that happens won't effect her pending K1 as long as OP is honest with answers to the questions and fills out the visa application truthfully.
