I am a natural born American. I got married in Morocco about 10 yrs ago. My wife and I have a son who is 6. They both reside in Morocco. My son was issued a US passport. Neither have been to the USA as I have been working in Kuwait for some years.

Question: should I apply for a tourist visa at the embassy for her or should I apply for immigration? I'm seeking the fastest way to get my wife to the US.

You want to live permanently in the USA with them? Tourist visas can't be used to immigrate.

You should file the I-130 petition for the IR-1 visa for her. Son obviously doesn't need a visa, he's good to go. :)

See the guide here: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide1

* I-130/CR-1 visa by Direct Consular Filing in London
3rd May 2013 - Married in London
7th May 2013 - I-130 filed
4th June 2013 - NOA2 (approved)
16th July 2013 - Interview (approved)
30th July 2013 - POE San Francisco
29th August 2013 - 2 year green card arrived

 

* How? Read my DCF London I-130 for CR1/IR1 Spouse Guide

* Removal of Conditions (RoC) via California Service Centre
1st May 2015 - 90 day RoC window opened
6th May 2015 - I-751 filed (delivered 8th May, cheque cashed 18th May)
7th August 2015 - Approved / GC production
27th August 2015 - 10 year green card arrived

If they have direct consulate filing. Which would be fast immigration if available at local embassy.

If your intention is to immigrate they may deny you tourist visa.

K3 is obsolete.

The only reasonable path they have is filing the I-130 as soon as possible so that his wife can get the IR-1 visa.
