It may be questionable that the niece even if adopted now could be included on the K-2 petition since she was not included initially on the I-129F. I am not familiar with a method to include a child after the fact, but it could be possible, you would need to consult with a REAL good immigration attorney. KING comes to mind since the case is already in GZ.

With that said if she is adopted prior to your marriage, she would be considered your child for immigration purposes and could be applied for using an I-130, see How Do I Bring My Child, Son or Daughter to Live in the United States?

As I understand it as long as the child is listed on the P-3 documents returned she should be able to accompany. The fiancee' needs to get the adoption done ASAP though.
