More details to this question:
Hi, I am one of the US citizens and would like to marry a girl from foreign country. we both never have previous marriages before. I would like to find out more about difference between Fiance visa and Marriage visa requirements. I would like to go and marry in foreign country and come back to US and petition for her. The another way is that i will go back and engage with her then come back here and petition a fiance visa from US. Which process will be faster for her to get the permanent resident status after coming into the United States? Since I am still a student, I will need her to work for our living as soon as she came into the States. Another question is "what do I need to do before going to foreign country and marry her?" Can you please give me suggestion? Thanks.

The K1 process is faster, not fast, to get her in. There are additional reasons to process via K1.

Marrying abroad and having her Consular Process can take about the same time as a fiance visa, but eliminates the need to file an adjustment application when she arrives and you marry in the U.S. Requirements to marry abroad will vary based on the foreign country's requirements.
