Welcome to Visa Journey. Unfortunately, you are misinformed. Your only route is a CR-1 spousal visa. You can forget about a K-3 visa. They just don't issue them anymore. You cannot live in the US during the I-130 process. The process for you will take 18 months or so from filing to interview. Read, study, and learn the process below. Ask questions. The good folks here are eager to help. The immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money. Good luck. Immigration is quite a ride!
