If not K-1, which other visa route would be best for me?

At every stage in the process, including both the consulate interview and the PoE, your fiancee will be asked if she is legally free to marry. If she cannot confidently and sincerely state that she is unmarried and therefore legally free to marry, to both the consular officer and the CBP officer, the K-1 visa will evaporate and you will have to start from scratch with a spousal visa.

Plan accordingly.

DON'T PANIC
