You cannot get a fiance visa (K-1) for your wife. Once you are married she is not eligible for a fiance visa. You must file and I-130 Petition for her. While you can also file and I-129F Petition to start the K-3 process after you file the I-130 petition, it will not speed up the process. The USCIS is taking just as long to process K-3 petitions as I-130 petitions for spouses.

If your wife is not in the US, one option that may be available to you is to file for a K-3 visa. The process and forms are essentially the same as a fiance visa, but it is used to obtain a visa for your spouse. I recommend speaking with an immigration attorney prior to beginning the process to determine what your best course of action is and what you should expect.
