K-1 for fiancee'

[LivingOnE1 0]

My gf has been on a E1 for almost five years, but it's expiring at the end of November. Her company has agreed to extend her position in the US.

However, the first appointment that the abroad US consular office would give her for a E1 interview is in... March 2022.

I'm American, so we are thinking to file a I-129F for fiancee' of a US citizen, after scheduling a marriage date which most likely will be *after* her E1 expiration date. 

Any advice is welcome. Thank you.

Her company can file I-129 for extension of her status without her needing to leave the US.
