not sure part 2

I'm sorry but isn't possible for your friend to marry another guy other than her petitioner... its F R A U D.

Accuracy is highly important in these matters and words mean things. Of course it's possible for her friend to marry another guy. What is not allowed (not impossible because it has happened) is to remain in the USA and adjust status based on marriage to somebody other than the petitioner.

Exactly! An alien that entered the USA as a K-1 recipient can choose not to go through with marriage to the initial petitioner, and it is possible for that alien that entered the USA as a K-1 recipient to marry another US citizen, but the alien would be required to return to his or her native land and do consular processing thereafter, as either a spouse seeking a K-3 or a spouse seeking immigrant status. Attempting to remain in the USA without leaving, and adjust status would result in a denial of adjustment and removal proceedings. That said, leaving the USA to pursue consular processing after marriage to a US citizen other than the petitioner is not a sure thing. If the timing of marriage to the arrival on a K-1 were close, there might be questions posed as to the legitimacy of this marriage.

You guys actually agree on a subject? WOW. I am impressed.
