Not to worry Dennis...
As cowboy noted, the K-3 spouse visa is optional.
The Form I-129F Fiancée Visa petition is also used for the K-3 spouse visa and the I-130 must be filed first.
If you can wait a few months longer, the CR-1 immigrant visa has some important advantages over the K-3 non-immigrant visa, so it isn’t really necessary to file the I-129F for your spouse.
One advantage of skipping the K-3 petition is to bypass the IMBRA bull crap.
Another is that with the CR-1 visa, she will get her “Green Card†effective when she steps off of the plane. This will immediately allow her to work, travel overseas, apply for a driver’s license, and probably cut at least 9-12 months off of the wait to apply for naturalization.
In your case, I would just forget about the I-129F and let the I-130 run its course.
