I was wondering if anyone could help. Here is my situation.

I am getting married in April 2007 in Mexico with a Mexican citizen. I will be living/working in Mexico for 2-3 years. Once we get married we will apply for the K3. I understand that she will not be able to travel to the US until she gets the K3. Once she gets the K3, can we still live in Mexico until my work assignment ends? If so, does the K3 expire? Will she be able to travel back and forth from the US and Mexico (i.e. short vacations back to the US periodically)? Also, is there a better route to go instead of the K3?

I'm no expert but if you're gonna be living in Mexico for 2-3 years then go for the CR-1..immigrant visa. That way when she does get to the states you won't have to do an adjustment of status.

I agree. No point in applying for a K-3 since it implies that your wife is immigrating to the USA, after which time she has to apply for her green card. Better to do the CR1, wher she gets the green card when she arrives in the USA.
