K-1 fiancee visa will get her to the US slightly faster. About a month sooner if the process is started at the same as the spousal visa. However, to even file for the spousal visa CR-1, you need to be married, and in possession of your marriage certificate. K-1 process you can start today already, only requirement is that you're engaged and have met in person in the last two years.

The CR-1 visa however is more cost effective, and your then wife will have a green card the moment she enters the US.

correct JUST 30-60 days faster now-a-days. The Fiance visa will cost about $1500.00 more

fiancee visa is faster..but i will costs a lot of money....also when you get here in US you still need to adjust status and it cost...985+85(biometrics)....im here for fiancee visa....and still waiting for 2 mons...they wont issue divers licens /id for me after 2 mons i can apply already,,,,..so for me spousal visa is much ok if you are not in a hurry..
