I'm interested in why the embassy told you to file after 90 days. But I'd make things easier for you and file with the US marriage licence. Then you wont' have to get it translated and reduce the headaches. Good luck

Married is married. The 90 day wait would have nothing to do with a K3 visa process. Perhaps the Embassy was referring to their requirements for filing a petition directly with them instead of through a service center in the US. If so, that would be for a CR1 visa, not a K3.

Yes, it seems like the Consulate adviced you on DCF (Direct Consular Filing). For a K3, the USC does not need to stay in India, she can come back and send the petition from the US.

CR1 via DCF is best option. If possible do it. Will cut costs as well.

Good luck.

:guides:

This is the best option if you can both live in India - check with the consulate which are the residency requirements, and the status of your USC spouse while in India (some consulates do not take DCF from folks in visitor/tourist visad)

It's the best option but it doesn't save money overall, if the USC would be working in the US and not in India.

Always start with the guides. DCF is still going to take several months from anywhere.
