The timelines for the K visa and the IR-1/CR-1 visa are not that far apart. K visa costs more in the end, and you have to adjust status once in the US, and cannot work right away. There are definite tax advantages for the US spouse for marrying right away, instead of waiting until you are back in the US.

The difference in the tax rate for us would have paid for the entire immigration fees and processing costs.

If only I had known then what I do now...
