OK so i have my naturalization interview next week, if everything goes well im hoping to be a USC within a month. My question is what road should i take to get my wife here and working the fastest. She is not in the US currently. Should i apply for k3 visa, and adjust status and get EAD, or should i go through consular processing and not apply for k3 and wait for i130 to be approved to do consular processing. please advise
 
I would personally go for the IR 1 or CR 1 visa (which one will depend on ow long you've been married for) as opposed to the K3. IR 1/CR1 visa used to take significantly longer than K3 but now the Immigrant visas have been sped up and now take the same length of time to be processed. The advantage of the Immigrant visa is that your wife will become an instant PR upon arrival at POE, whereas with the K3 visa, your wife will have to go through AOS to become a PR which takes time and money. Its even better if youve been married for 2+ years (IR1 visa) as upon entry at POE, your wife would be issued her 10 year greencard, not a 2 year one with conditions.
If you want more info, theres a sub forum on visajourney.com dedicated to specifically these 2 visas.
Heres the specific forum:
