If you are awaiting the priority date, does that mean you have not yet filed for the I-485 or you have filed it long ago and the priority date has retrogressed and you are waiting? If you have not yet filed for I-485, you probably have a valid underlying nonimmigrant status, such as H-1B. If that is the case, you can place a spouse on a dependent status, such as H-4 once you are lawfully married. So, if your fiancee and you get married, she can then apply for a H-4 (if you are in H-1B) dependent visa and enter the US to be with you while you await the priority date for the I-485, at which time she will be able to file her I-485 as well, as your spouse.
