When you do a K-1 you gotta be ready for marriage. It's not a store where you can buy something and return if you don't like it. You'd only have 90 days to get married when she enters. To me, it doesn't make much sense to keep the fiancé in a volatile state of uncertain future. Plus she won't be able to work for a while or travel outside during AOS which can put pressure on a new marriage.
Either way, F-1 is not going to pose any issues with K-1.
If I had a magic wand, I'd vote for CR-1 route so your wife would have GC (and thus ability to work and travel) as soon as she enters the US.
I really appreciate your advice! I'll definitely have a conversation with her about switching to CR-1.
Regarding the CR-1 Visa, Is it possible for us to marry when she's out of the country and apply for CR-1 right after?
I have mentioned CR-1 with her the other day, but she was told by somebody that we have to be married for 2 years to be eligible, thus that was the other reason we stayed with K1 as well.

Has she already returned?
Her k1 won't be denied based on anything you have described
I appreciate your response! She will not return until this June when her F1 Visa expires. We planned to apply for K1 and marry when we both feel ready since we just graduated from college. My only worry is that being in relationship with her while she's on F1 might affect our K1 Visa later in time.

I don't think this would be the case. But why do you want to use inferior visa? CR-1 is so much better, cheaper and takes faster in end to receive the GC.
If you're a US citizen, you don't have to wait if she doesn't need to leave the US. You can marry, apply for AOS and she won't need to go for consular processing.
Thank you for your response! We planned to do the K1 since we don't feel ready for marriage yet as we just graduated from college. I want to travel to her country over the summer to meet her family and friends and then continue with the K1.

Hi Everyone,
I am a US citizen and have been in a relationship with my fiance when she was on her F1 Visa studying in the US. She is graduating this year and have to returned to her home country.
I have read somewhere that I might have a hard time petition for her through K1 if we were found in a relationship when she's on her F1 Visa. Is this generally true? Do we still have a chance? Any advice is appreciated, thank you!
Edit: I forgot to mention that we are planning to apply for K1 about a year after her visa expires and have returned to her home country.

Thank you again for the input! I'm definitely more convinced with the CR-1 path now. I have been stressed out for a while thinking about our options especially near graduation. But your advice made me feel much better! Hope you have a wonderful day. 😊
