Well I think we should stick to the OP's original question and main concern, which is what allows the foreign spouse to start working sooner. In this case, the answer is the CR1 (I130). Perhaps the OP didn't even think about this option as his question was which is faster K1 or K3 to allow her to work ASAP. Both would be the same once she is in the U.S. as I stated, but the better option would be the CR1 if their main goal was to allow her to go to work ASAP. The only issue there is that it would take her longer to get to the U.S., but that might not be a concern of theirs. It's all a trade off and everyone has to consider what is best for their individual situation.

For me, the K3 is best in my situation due to the rules which state he can interview where we got married versus his home country, since he lives where we got married. That's less burden on us in the long run. So, decide what is best for your case. Everyone is different.
