I heard that some people applied for K-1 visa instead of IR-1 even when they were married. Is that even legal?

No, it's not legal and anybody who does this will likely wind up in a bad way.

perhaps is some confusion with a K-3 visa? any K-3 visa hopefuls file an I-129F after the I-130 receipt notice from USCIS is received.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
