K3 is faster, no more fees and the NVC forwards directly to embassy. Although you will be doing the AOS process after she arrives in country.

Read the guides for the technical differences and then decide which is the best route. One might be easier and the other faster, you need to prioritize what is best for you.

YMMV

I don't mind doing anything (AOS) as long as she is with me. Thanks! for the advice. And Good Luck! in your interview.
