All: FYI, it looks like the OP ran into the maximum number of permissible first-day posts for a new member (necessary, given spammers, but frustrating for legitimate members, certainly).

(1.) and (2.) are correct -- but if the CBP agent checking her upon entry doesn't ask, avoid volunteering information. Answer only what is asked. (3.) is inaccurate. The K-1 and CR-1 visas now take approximately the same time, and CR-1 is far superior. Regarding (4.), there are countless threads in which the illegality of "entry with use of Tourist Visa, not leaving, and staying to adjust status" is discussed. Conversely, your plan -- she visits, you marry, she returns before her tourist visa expires, and you file the I-130 toward the CR-1 visa -- is completely fine. Depending on where she's from, multiple visits (she to you, you to her, meet in third country, or all) will help to build evidence for the eventual consular interview for the visa. The above answers are all consequent to years of posts containing the accumulated wisdom and experiences of hundreds of members here.

Brutal critique from within NPR proves it's a leftist-only zone Bashing National Public Radio's leftward bias is a favorite pastime of conservatives, especially since it is funded by taxpayer money, but critics received a boost this week from an unlikely source. Uri Berliner, a 25-year veteran of NPR who is now a senior business editor there, published a lengthy essay this week that was remarkable because it absolutely blasted his employer's approach to journalism. It was such a complete takedown that I found myself marveling, "He wrote this while he still works there?"

I may be wrong, but I interpreted the suggestion to mean that you or your current attorney should look for an immigration attorney in the U.S. who is either Korean himself (optimal) or is intimately familiar with Korean documents, and have that attorney write an explanatory letter to explain and confirm that the submitted documents are sufficient to satisfy USCIS's RFE. In this way, you needn't fire your current attorney and start all over; it's simply an additional step -- probably cheaper and certainly faster than filing a motion to reconsider, if you can simply reply again to the current RFE.

The word "Korean" was added to the thread title in hopes of attracting country-specific responses in the regional forum.

Even if they did, two choices remain: 1. By arguing, try to convince them that they're wrong (and risk batting your head against a wall); or 2. Show them, by means of the cited suggestion, that the documents are sufficient. They would chiefly be in the "Asia: East and Pacific" regional forum. However, the volume of specifically knowledgeable replies would probably be minimal. We'll move your thread to that forum; if you get few or no constructive replies, hit "report thread" and request that this thread be moved back to the "AOS from K Visas" Process forum.

Reasoning is above. You may re-create that response without the TOS violations and repost it. ^^ This is probably the most effective way around the hurdle.

Trump Indicted For Taking More Chick-fil-A Sauces Than He Actually Needed For His Order ATLANTA, GA — What began as a seemingly harmless visit to a local Chick-fil-A turned into a new legal quagmire for former President Donald Trump, as he was indicted today for taking more sauces than he actually needed for his order. The news broke as Trump made headlines for his positive reception at the popular eatery, with customers and employees fawning over him as he ordered his food. A spokesperson for the Department of Justice held a press briefing to announce the indictment.

New 'Biden Diet' Sweeps Nation: Pay The Same Amount Of Money But Eat 50% Less Food US — With inflation showing no signs of slowing down, a new diet craze is sweeping across the nation.

Google searches for "Biden Diet" have surged 3,000% in the last month, and [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/biden-diet-craze-sweeps-the-nation-where-you-pay-the-same-amount-of-money-for-food-but-eat-50-less

Is a Preemptive Strike in the Offing? Perhaps the most worrisome news of the day is the Iranian threat to launch a massive drone and missile attack against Israel. Up to this time, Iran has worked with considerable effect through its proxies, principally the Houthis in Yemen, Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, and — if it is not too far-fetched to suggest — Iran's increasingly reliable proxy outrider the United States of America under the feckless and incompetent Joe Biden.

'Death to America' Mayor Insists That 'Dearborn is a City of Proud Americans,' Convinces No One The alarming scene that unfolded last Friday in Dearborn, Mich., with Muslim protesters chanting "Death to America," has resulted in some fallout for the city's mayor, Abdullah Hammoud. While Old Joe Biden and his henchmen are happily taking a wrecking ball to the former Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, they don't go around telegraphing their intentions. Their friends in Dearborn were a bit too forthright about what the ultimate goal of the policies that the left and their Islamic allies really are, so reassuring words had to be uttered and the public put back to sleep. Hammoud found, however, that at least some people had been jolted away much too rudely for that to be possible.
