Soo I was reading, that a significant (unmarried) other can come to the US under another type of visa (visitor, holiday etc.)

and once they are here they can apply for a green card through special catagories (Nonimmigrant (includes fiancée))

Is that even true.?????????????

Or should i just stick to my K-1 Fiancee visa Process. ??

hummmm???...

If you want to do things the legal way, stick to the K1 process.

Well, i your case, not any more. If your fiancee comes here knowingly that you will get married, then this is illegal.

Yes, it is best to stick with the K1. It saves a lot of worrying in the future knowing that you did things the legal way. Good luck in your journey!

Yes, take the K1 route (eventhough "the other option" would work too).

You may want to look into the rules. If you come here on visitor visa and AFTER entering US decide to get married, this is OK to AOS. If you KNOW that you are coming to get married to AOS this becomes illegal and material misrepresentation. Primarily this is because you are asked when filling out application for visitor visa if you have immigration intent during your visit. This is a difference. In this particular case OP cannot do this. I am merely suggesting the best path for every OP.
