With the Trump administration heavily vetting entries into the country, trouble-free travel is not guaranteed for anyone except US citizens – and even they are rumored to have difficulties sometimes with DHS. If you are a nonimmigrant, you can be denied entry on discretionary grounds. If a green card holder, you could be kept at the port of entry or even placed in detention while Customs and Border Protection officers look over your records. We do not encourage unnecessary travel at this time, especially for nonimmigrants, but also for immigrants with checkered criminal histories.

If you are a US citizen, you can sponsor your fiancé for her k visa. Generally a precondition is that you must have physically met your fiancé within the last two years. Once the k visa is issued, your fiancé can enter the US but you must marry within 90 days. Then you can adjust her status to get her green card.A well documented application  by an immigration lawyer assures the best chance of success ... Read More

I note that your state is Maryland. Your case would be submitted to the Vermont Service Center of U.S.C.I.S. The processing time chart shows that as of 8/11/16, Vermont is only processing I-751's received as of 8/31/15. The Center has most likely not reached your case yet for adjudication. Your mistake in your cover letter of stating that you are the beneficiary of your husband's life insurance instead of being an enrollee in your husband's 401(k) is not a red flag. U.S.C.I.S. looks at the evidence which is submitted and in many cases pays scant attention to cover letters. At this time, you should just wait until Vermont comes up to your case. There is nothing to do at this time.
