The text that I cited earlier in the thread still has one unknown before anyone here (or any lawyers) can say for certain if 222(g) applies - whether or not the extension request was deemed "frivolous".
 
One way to find out, as you know, is to attempt to enter the US. I'm not sure if there are other ways to check whether the visa has been cancelled before doing that, but it might be worth looking into.

From USCIS:
 
 
What if I file on time for an extension, but I leave the U.S. before USCIS makes a decision on my application?

If you leave the U.S. before a decision is made on your application to extend and you plan to return to the U.S. in the future, please keep a copy of your application plus the receipt notice to show to the Immigration Inspector on your return travel to the U.S. Otherwise, you may be denied entry for overstaying on your last visit.
 
 

 
Sounds to me OP's got right info from lawyers but it does say they are no longer current, so not sure if above statement from USCIS is still enforced.
 
 

I'm not protesting. I am seeking clarification, and I am quoting things that I have read / heard, including directly from lawyers. Including lawyers just today who have told me that her tourist visa is not automatically revoked.
 
If seeking clarification is "vigorous protestation", then I really don't know what else to say.
 
Thank you for the information.

Thank you so much for the information (and payxibka as well)
 
I'm actually kind of stuck, at the moment. I thought I had done some pretty thorough research and felt confident about where we stood in this process and how long it would take.
 
I'm new to visas and the overall immigration process, so I'm unsure how a lot of this works and I'm figuring it all out as I go along.
 
-I'm not sure how her overstay will impact her visa, and any attempts to come back over. I know she did file for an extension (decision still pending), and I know she left within a year of her initial entry, so her overstay was still less than 180 days, and the amount of time an extension would have given her, but I don't know if she will still be penalized for overstaying in the first place, even with an extension request.
 
-Because of that, I'm unsure if she can even come over here for us to get married in the first place to start the spousal visa process. If she can tho, even if it takes longer overall, at least we would be able to spend a good chunk of that time together before she would have to go back.
 
-As we all are, I'm unsure when the embassy will start processing routine K1 visas again, and if they will be up and running again and caught up in the time it takes for our initial application to even be approved.
 
I do appreciate the information - regardless of any bubble bursting, it is better to have this information now for us to make a decision ahead of time than to make a decision that we might end up getting stuck in. With time being our biggest priority in this, getting stuck in a limbo is what we don't want. I am kinda feeling like that's where her and I are at right now.
 
If it seems like I am repeating myself, I am just trying to process the information, make sure I am understanding everything being told to me, and have as much clarity about the information as I can have before I discuss major alterations in our plans with her.
 
Thank you for the responses, everyone!
