if your married 2 years or less its a CRI1 two years or more IR1.. my best advice is to go for the CR1 or IR1 whichever applies to your situation because your husband will obtain a green card upon arrival in the US. K3 visa is going through this whole long process only to have to APPLY for a green card once you get to the states. pointless? yes I know. CR1 my thoughts

the i-130 cr1 would be your visa path, the k-3 is an obsolete visa that is rarely approved. Good luck!

In order to apply for the K-3 you would need to apply for the IR1/CR-1 first. This is how you do it, first you submit your I-130 application package to USCIS then after a week or so you will receive a NOA-1 by mail. You would then submit your I-129f application package which is the K-3 along with your NOA-1 notice and thats it. You will have both applications file and approve if everything is done correctly, BUT the downfall is the K-3 visa will dismiss once it gets to NVC IF the I-130 gets to the NVC before the I-129f aka K-3 visa.
