So just a hypothetical question here:

 

What if you had to technically get married (civil) to your fiancé while waiting for immigration to process your fiancé petition?  You could easily get married again once your fiancé arrived in the US. Would they know or find out?  Marriage databases in the US let alone another country aren’t shared centrally.

Once you are married, you are IMMEDIATELY disqualified for a K-1. A married individual entering the US via a K-1 would be committing visa fraud.  The petitioner would also be committing fraud.  This could result in serious consequences.  This could bite you at any time in the future.  Don't even try it.
