I am wondering if I should marry and officiate documents in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and bring my wife into the USA on a K3 visa.

OR

I could "marry" her for her family's sake and not officiate the marriage certificate and process the K1 visa.

An entry visa processor said he stopped doing services for K3 visa processing because it was much more difficult to process. K1 visas allow entry for the fiance' within 4 to 6 months, per him.

Anyone have any experiences with either K1 or K3 process?
