Is K-1 better option in my case?

How can i find if there is any bar set and for how may years? Can i call immigration office in detroit and ask them or should we file I-129F and wait their decision?

Thank you!

You can certainly spend a lot money on an attorney and to file the K-1 petition. You'll receive professional advice and perhaps even a couple of arguments to articulate in the application. But at the end of the day, you broke the law while living in the U.S. on a student visit. The petition will be denied.

And it strikes me as a little odd that you're posting this question/quandary (the beneficiary) rather than your fiancee (the sponsor). Why is that? Where is she, your fiancee/sponsor? Just curious.

Yes. Spend a few hundred dollars & consult with an immigration attorney.

The reliability of information from sites like VJ varies directly with the number of members who have experienced it. Filling out the G-325A? Probably pretty good. Dealing with the Manila consulate? Similar. Knowing when to need a waiver? Less so.

Dealing with an overstay, a deportation order, a skipped court date, a student visa that wasn't used properly, and Pakistan? No one's advice is likely to be helpful. Spend the cash and consult with an immigration attorney, maybe two.
