cokebbeh,

If you want your wife to be eligible to apply for a K3 visa you will need to file an I-129f petition for her.

Filing the I-129F is optional. Most ppl file the I-129F for a K-3 because most times its faster and it offers another option. But if you can ride it out you can just file the I-130 alone and follow it through.
