you just need to read more info about K-1 and K-3 visas. there are specific requirements for each of them. based on info you provided, you might do it either way. 

Fiancé visa required at least 1 personal visit within 2 years, but also if you could prove that it would be impossible because of the religious beliefs, you would be fine. 

Otherwise Spouse visa make some more sense (in my not professional opinion only), because of your religion and it gives you more “space” with immigration process. 

 

OP, this person is incorrect.

Hello all! I have a question concerning the best and absolute valid route for my case. First off I am a Muslim so arranged marriages are common in my culture as well. I have an uncle whom I have known since I was very little introduced me to a niece of his and no she is not my cousin I just call him uncle. I am a US citizen and I have been talking to her for 4 weeks now and we seem to be on the same page concerning what we want. I am planning on visiting in about a month. I placed my dowry already but due to our tradition we cannot date before marriage. Should I marry when visiting this coming month and get a marriage certificate or just do the k1 since I have done my dowry. If I choose the k1 route what evidence do I need to produce and if spousal what evidence will I need to produce. Please share your inputs thanks in advance.

Don't do anything on first visit.   Is this considered a arrange marriage?

If you sign the marriage contract when you get engaged, you have no choice but to file a CR-1. In Islam, signing that contract makes you religiously married, which in the eyes of immigration (USCIS) makes you legally married. Ask me how I know? I went through the process with my husband. Trust me.

Doesn't matter if it's arranged, it's the cultural norm.

It would not make you legally married in the US or the UK

Regardless not sure those works if that's how they do it in that country if it's legal there then the US or UK accepts it if it's considered civil in the country it was performed
