The USCIS will generally issue you a Notice of Intent to Revoke (NOIR) which will give you the opportunity to present documentary evidence of the bona fides of your engagement. Be prepared to provide a significant amount of information to prove up your relationship. If the USCIS affirms their decision, your fiance will then re-apply for the K-1 visa.

You will need to go back, get married and make sure this time, you will have enough evidence showing good faith marriage.

When you receive the consulate return from USCIS (it's called "Intent to Revoke"), the validity of the K1 petition usually has expired. In that case, you will have to either file a new K1 petition or marry your fiance and file immigrant visa petition.

You may be given a chance to submit additional evidence to USCIS, but more likely you will need to file a new K1 visa petition.
