I filed for my K1 visa but realized we might not be approved since my fiance and I are first cousins. Will my K1 visa get approved? He is currently in Europe and I am worried if USCIS will approve our marriage visa application or not?

Your K1 visa may get approved depending on which state you reside in. If you reside in a state that allows first cousin marriages, then your K1 visa application should get approved. You may get a request for evidence (RFE) from USCIS, so be prepared for this.
