Continue the K1 process, it will take longer if you change plan. If you really wanted to have a wedding in P.I have it on your 2nd wedding. And dont ever try mixing K1 and K3 application, that will cost you trouble in the end. USCIS and US Embassy are very sensitive with documents. Just keep it fast and simple by using the K1.

Good Luck ...

Well, you're already 2-3 months into the K1 process, which is about half way. I don't think it would be wise, unless there's some greatly compelling reason to scrap it all and marry overseas, especially when the K3 process generally takes longer. Just marry here. If you were like, one month or less into the process, I'd have said scrap it, but then again it's your choice. If you can go the wait with no problem, go for the K3. Most of us wouldn't want to though, I imagine.

Yes, I agree. Will just switch plans back to the original way we was going to do. Only reason we thought about getting married in Philippines is because here I have very small family, and of course my fiance back in Philippines has very large family, so we thought it would be nicer and funner getting married in Philippines. But we will definitly go back to plans of marry here in US. Thank You all.

We had the same feelings, so we will be having a non-legal religious ceremony in the UK with all my friends and family, white dress etc, but without any legal binding or registration, then travel with K1 visa to complete the marriage by way of the legal ceremony (which we're doing quietly) in the US. Isn't is the saddest thing that beauracy means making so many sacrifices...hey-ho at least we'll be with our loved ones eventually and forever
