Thanks @TBoneTX! 
I have lurked plenty on this forum and I was particularly looking forward to your reply since you always have nuggets of insight. Apologies for the duplicate post, wasn't sure if this was a better place to post.
 
Yes - that was my assumption, and we went by the assumption that more truth is better truth (in this case). And yes, we are totally prepared to tackle an RFE if it comes to that.
 
We aren't worried about the use issue.
 

You can cite that quoted segment if you're questioned.  It should quell any concerns.
If anyone here knows more, I guess we'll both learn something!

I'm being spoiled by your appreciation.
There's very little information on this specific topic online, I have found some US Embassy information from Canada, notably the following:
https://ca.usembassy.gov/cannabis-legalization-in-canada/
 
This is in direct reference to Canadians, and while she isn't Canadian, it was a Canadian industry. I'm hoping that this is going to be relatively accurate as to how things go. And it falls in line with your reasoning - retail cannabis is far from her life's work, it was a job at the time to pay the bills. 
 
Consistent honestly is the plan.
 
And thank you! I've seen what happens in some threads with 0 context of anything. 
 

Well, you just got your first upvote for being an alert member who has asked a thoughtful question.   
Thanks for your endorsement.  Others are more tuned in and can comment authoritatively.
We'll move posts if they're not in an optimal forum.  You guessed pretty much the right place to post, initially.
 
USCIS, and the consulates, and CBP all thrive on the truth.
A 4-month front-of-store job certainly isn't your fiancee's life's work, and sensible authorities will realize that.
 
As the incomparable pushbrk says, "Reading carefully, interpreting literally, and answering completely & honestly is the key to your success during this entire process."
 
Edited to add:  Sincere thanks from ALL of us for your clear identification of who is who and giving your ages right up front.  Everyone should emulate you in doing that.

Thanks @TBoneTX!

So what's stopping you from trying to visit the US now? If you both want to pursue the K1, you will need to meet. There's no avoiding it. Travel doesn't seem realistic for him now at this point so the ball is in your court. 

Because the I-129F is filed on paper instead of online, nothing will automatically appear in your USCIS account. Once you have your case number, you can add your case to your account.
 
Things have been slow over the holidays. I would give it another week or two.
