So as the petitioner I'm wondering is there much difference between the married visa and k1 visa for Morocco? Meaning would it mke it harder for my fiancé to come to the United States if we got married while waiting for the k1 petition to go through?

~~moved to what visa do I need from K1 progress reports.  Topic is about different visa types.~~

If you get married while waiting for the K1 petition to go through, then the K-1 will be void.  A married person can not use a K-1 fiance visa.  The K-1 requires your fiance to be single when he enters the US.

 

You must chose either the K-1 fiance visa or the CR-1 spousal visa.  You can not change from a K-1 to a CR-1.  If you get marry while waiting for the K-1, you will have to start over with a CR-1.

Yes you would then have to start all over again with a spouse visa (CR-1 visa) k-1 is a fiance visa

Fiance K1 visa only if unmarried when entering the US. You must marry in the US within 90 days. 

Otherwise, once married anywhere outside the US, only spouse CR1 visa will do.
