Either one will be fine. A K-3 is a little bit more expensive but in many cases it allows for the spouse to be in the US faster. Then after that he/she will have to file for change of status as well as work authorization. A CR-1/IR-1 is less costly and it allows for the spouse to come to the US without having to change status nor applying for a work permit since the permanent residency card arrives in about a month or so. The bad thing about it is that it could take longer than the K-3.

I would advise you to search for similar timelines to yours, look for cases that share the same service center as well as embassy since all embassies work in different ways. Once you do that, it would be easier to make a decision on which type of visa to file for.

Best of luck to you and your wife.
