Maybe, i would check with an immigration lawyer. Usually the spouse is supposed to remain in their country while you apply for a K3 visa, this goes for Canadians marrying Americans as well. However i know of one woman who came to the US from Canada, got married in Vegas and stayed while her status was straightened out. It took 2 years during which time she could not drive, work, or travel home. She had literally no legal status until the visa was issued.

Excellent Question. You need to get your wife a visa or file an I-130 Form with the USCIS before she can be allowed to enter the US. Since you are in the military, there should be someone at your post (Family Outreach) who can help you fill out the I-130 Form and get priority processing.
Get the form in by clicking the link I posted below under SOURCE.

Look since you are in the military, you get certain benefits. What they are, I do not know. What I would suggest is that you make an appointment with a good immigration attorney and he will advise you of all the legal steps you must go through. Please go through the legal process, it is so worth it.

You cant enter the country illegally , no matter what . As soon as you are not here legally , you compromise your ability to gain residency in a timely manner .

Back again I see.
As long as you have the marriage certificate she will be OK to be in the country until you can work out getting a green card.
usually this is done in the airport and shouldn't take long.
