Can I apply for a K-3 Visa while waiting for an I-130 to be accepted?

[James Passfield]

I have researched applying for a I-130 from my brother but I saw it took at least 10 years. (I live in UK so won't be a huge backlog for my country) I then looked up ways to get into the US quicker and I saw the K3 Visa, I looked on multiple websites and some said it was for a spouse and others said a fiance, I am confused and hoping someone could clear this up for me.

Thanks

James,

K1 visa is for a fiancee of a U.S. citizen.
K3 visa is a secondary visa for a spouse of a U.S. citizen

K3 visas don't seem to be supported by USCIS anymore. You can submit an I-129F for a spouse after you have submitted an I-130 for a spouse, but the I-130 processing will take priority.
