i am a us citizen, born and still live in Wyoming. i just got married and i want want my wife to be hear with me as fast as possible, she lives in the philippines and that is where we had our wedding.

i need to know if there is any way for her to come here and stay while the paperwork goes through, so we can be together! we have decided not to start any paperwork till we find out what is the fastest way to get her here.

You have to file the I-130 first, when you receive your NOA1 for that you can then file the I-129 for the K3 if you want.

The K3 may be processed a few weeks earlier than the CR-1 because once approved documents don't go through NVC, for the past few months USCIS have been approving 129's and 130's at the same time. If she arrives with CR-1 you are done for 2 years if she comes on K3 you will need to adjust status which can take a while.

Hi, and welcome to VJ. Congratulations on your marriage. Here are a few guides that will help you on your journey:

Because everyone situation is unique, it's hard to say which is faster, but pursuing the CR1 route versus the K3 will save you close to $700 dollars and not having to worry about Adjustment of Status (AOS). Many here will argue that the CR1 is a better choice and like what blue123 said, the CR1 and K3 are getting approved at the same time.

Good luck

File your I-130 first. then if you want file an I-129f for k3. No other way for her to be with you but through Spouse Visa.

good luck!

Better file I-130 only it's faster than filing both I-130 and I-129F

nothing is fast... unless there is a way for her to get a tourist visa she must wait out the process in her country

Oops, I didn't read the entire post. payxibka is correct, your wife must wait out the process in her country. "Fast" is only a relative term when dealing with the immigration process.
