OK so I don't see the problem. I'm not trying to be insensitive or anything. I went through the same process. Is it a pain in the bum? Yes. Are the delays way too long? Yes. But at the end of the day, when you start the GC application process you usually get your temporary documents after a few months (it was 2 for me, another comment claims 6, I guess YEMV) and that's it. Then yeah, it's a pain to have to wait a year to have your marriage scrutinized by an immigration agent, but in the mean time, you can work, travel, etc. My original comment was just wondering how a "immigrant marriage visa" would change anything.
