3. There is no more K-3 visa.

4. If you are considering the US, please read our Wiki guide showing the comparison between K-1 (fiance visa) and CR-1 (spouse immigrant visa), then come back with specific questions.

The first thing to do is meet in person, spend some time together and then decide if you want to pursue marriage.

Thank you for your reply. I am aware it's 90 days. Since K-3 is no longer an option, perhaps CR-1 would be better for us. The problem is the process takes a long time. We were planning to meet before applying for any visa anyway but we have already reached the decision that we will marry if we need to do so to be together.

Any way you slice it you're looking at 8-10 months apart, minimum. If you cannot handle that, perhaps you should consider if you are mature enough for marriage.
