I would go with K3 definetly. It will take somewhere between 10-12 months based on people i know that have filed. I recently also filed k3 for my wife whose in Islamabad. But ofcourse there is no set time with USCIS it all depends if you get lucky

timelines and stats are a great help, but what is going to give you a real idea of what is going on is to keep track of the people who filed their petitions before you, and at the same time as you

like us, august 07 folks... we kept a look for the july people to see what was happening to them and waiting for our turn

Don't go K3, it sucks now. If you're not married yet, apply for K1 or choose CR1 visa. You can go ahead and apply for K3 with the CR1, but most likely your CR1 would get approved and K3 would be approved never. I applied for both, and my file went to VSC, and only got CR1 approved and no K3. If your file goes to CSC, you would get both approved at the same time.

Please update you timeline, I'll will send you the updates later about the K3 and CR1 to Pakistan.

don't take people's advice when they tell you "don't do K3, K3 sucks"

you should research the best option for your specific needs
