F1 denial affect k1?

Hello, This is keeping me up at night. 
We have applied for k1 visa, and so far so good with NOA1 received on Nov 6, 2023. Still waiting on NOA2. We have made a mistake by realizing it later on by listening to others. While my visit at my fiancé home country, we had a scheduled her an f1 tour visa interview, with actual intent of tourism and getting ideas for her clothing brand. She is a clothing designer. But in that application we did not disclose any information about me. While we knew each other and were already engaged. In our young dumb heads we thought it be a great idea for her to see the country before living here and as well spend time together. And get ideas for her clothing plans. The reason we did not disclose that she knew someone here is because we listened to all the reviews, and story tellers about denial for tourist visas in her home country. And us being young adults, we thought it be safe, because we knew that corruption exists in there. But now I regret it, and it keeps my up at night, i night my nails constantly thinking about it. We are not sure what to do when the interview for k1 comes in. I know it is a stupid mistake. But please, we need some support, will at affect the decision of k1? We just want to be together get married, work and build our lives here, with no more lying. K1 we did it our selves and I made sure that everything is correct, every document needed is there, every proof every photo etc. please

I’m so sorry, my head is everywhere right now with anxiety. I meant to say B-2 tourist visa. We tried for B-2 tourist visa. And did not disclose that she knew me. I apologize, could not edit the post.

Well seems they saw through this one, might be questioned about it but no more.

You are saying they probably already know about her past interview and looked over it. Meaning not taking it to consideration. But most likely be asked at the interview for k1?

No

It is a Consulate issue

If her tourist visa was denied for suspected immigrant intent (which seems to be the reason why they denied her) she will be fine for the K1. 
 

Also, stop listening to and taking advice from sources who tell you to not mention facts to increase chances of an approval, because if you need to leave out crucial information to increase your chances, you know you are walking on thin ice.

She had interview for a B-2 visa back in July 2023, which concluded in a denial. the petition for i129f, k1 visa,  is still processing, with NOA1 date of November 6th, 2023, “Case was received”

She did not say she was married in that B2 application, did she?

Did she lie in any way in that B2 application, saying, for example , she was married? Or that she had kids back home?

 

If she didn't lie, it might be ok. 

 

Like others have said, stop listening to anyone that tells you that you need to lie to immigration. Lying is never ok, but especially in immigration since sooner or later, the truth comes out and just because you're fine in this stage, it doesn't mean it will not come up in the future. Especially because there is usually more than one application that you will file (in your case, K1, then AOS, then ROC and then maybe citizenship). So you will be with immigration for the next few years.
