Spouse visa and Fiance

[Duaus 18]

I have seen couples doing fiance visa k-1 while i-130 so thier spouse can come earlier to the United states. Is this true and how does it work and the process?. I already applied I-130 so wondering if i can do that.

That definitely isn't happening. Google "too married" for K-1

 

It seems you are confusing I-129F petition with K-1 visa. That petition is free to file for a K-3 attempt, but odds are the I-129F will be administratively closed: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-spouse-k-3.html

Important Notice:

When both petitions have been approved by USCIS and sent to the NVC or when USCIS approves the I-130 before the I-129F, the availability of, as well as the need for, a nonimmigrant K-3 visa ends. If the NVC receives both an approved I-130 petition and an approved I-129F petition:

• The nonimmigrant K-3 visa case will be administratively closed.
• The application process explained below will not be available to the foreign-citizen spouse and cannot be used.
• The NVC will contact the U.S. citizen sponsor and foreign-citizen spouse, with instructions for processing the IR-1 (or CR-1) immigrant visa. For more information on the immigrant visa process, review the Immigrant Visa for a Spouse webpage.

because USCIS now takes less time to adjudicate the Form I-130, the current need for K-3 and K-4 visas is rare.

Uhmm, no. If married, you cannot receive a K-1 fiancé visa.

You seem confused about this entire process.  You've also posted in the DCF forum, which is not your situation either.

 

I suggest you do as much reading and research about spousal visas as you can, to help minimize errors and delays for yourselves.
