If you are planning to get married in Pakistan, then the path you should choose is CR-1, not K-3 as K-3s are no longer functional (practically).

After marriage, your wife will have to file an I-130 petition for you. Then comes a long wait till USCIS processes that petition. There are some really useful guides on Visa Journey and you should take a good look at those.

Just make sure to have your "Walima" as someone was asked about it at time of interview and experienced problems. Also make sure to have lot of photographs taken at time of wedding, walima and other occasions.

All the best.
