Which visa is suitable for my scenario? K1?

You can't use both visas in a same process. If you ask K1 visa she would enter the us after having it (8-12 months) and have to get married with you within 90 days and THEN file for AOS.

 

If you decide to marry in Australia then you file for CR1 and after visa is granted (12-14 months) she would just move with you to the US, no AOS needed.

 

If she has a valid tourist visa, she could visit you, get married in the US, but then she has to go back to Australia and it's the same, as you would be already married you could file CR1 for her and she (or you) could visit while getting the approval (12-14 months).

Incorrect. I've never heard of anyone doing it on purpose but many people have gotten K-1 come to the US and then needed to leave for some reason and filed CR-1 in order to return. Terrible idea but completely doable.

In that case you would be starting over a new process, what I meant is that they aren't part of the same immigration timeline, if you abandon the first visa then of course you'll have to start over with a new one.

 

I think OP was confused about that the right procedure was to do k1 to get married and then file CR1 for wife.

Thanks for the information. It seems the best option is to get married outside of US (ex: Australia) since her tourist visa got rejected unless she applies again.
