K1 is a non-immigrant visa as you will be adjusting status to immigrant upon arrival and marriage (that is how i understand it at least)

K1 (fiance visa) and K3 (spousal visa) are both non immigrant. CR1 is immigrant.

K1 and K3 visas are nonimmigrant. However, many of the procedures to apply for and issue them are more similar to immigrant visas than other nonimmigrant visas (such as the tourist visa), which is why they are listed in the immigrant visa section.

Non-immigrant. Immigrant visas for spousals and family members. Tourists, financees, workers and medical visitors are non-immigrant. Once the SO enters, marries then apply for AOS (so they can stay)

It is technically a non-immigrant.

It only grants to SO the right to remain in the states for 90 days, then he must leave unless he/she marries and AOS, which is a whole new process.

but because it is done with the intent to immigrate, stay in the us permanently, it is processed as an immigrant visa.

Yes, very confusing
