As she is from Sweden, you don't need a K1 (fiancee) visa for that; a K1 would be for marrying and staying in the USA. As she'll be leaving after the wedding, she can just come over on the Visa Waiver Program. Then you file for the CR-1 spousal visa soon after you are married. It will take 8-10 months to process, and then she'll have 6 months to use it, so she can immigrate a year after the wedding as planned.

I'm a British Citizen living in the Philippines, I was told that it would be easier for my partner and I if we applied for the fiance visa.They say they deny some couples who haven't been married long silly reason, but i guess it's just another way of trying to single out the people who are in it just for the Green card.... So far it's been about 3 months and I'm almost done..

Just do a fair amount of reading on which visa you'd like to apply for.

Best of luck to you both!
