If you of want to go down the fiance route there is a problem of delays. Whilst you're waiting for your final temporary settlement in the form of a biometric resident permit you cannot work. If you get married or are married and then apply as a spouse, you can work as soon as you enter the UK. Howev...
It is a long wait, my whole timeline from fiance app. to receive Biometric Resident Permit was 12.5 months. When your fiance arrives don't forget to add her at least 2 or 3 official documents like Council Tax, Phone, Electricity, Gas etc. You'll need proof that you live together at the same address....

If they are coming to stay with you and being looked after by you then a family visa. If they are staying in hotels and traveling around then a tourist visa.

Bringing in a spouse is extremely difficult if you don't meet the finacial requirements. You could submit 6 months of earnings, but may be asked for audited accounts or tax returns for the business. This would mean that the business may have to operate for a year to prove you have earned the 18600 p...
Most likely the requirement will change to B1 from October. I have English at A1 and in my letter from UKBA they told me when I apply for ILR I must be up one level. Be safer and complete B1.
I think you have enough documents. Sign the sponsorship letter. In addition you can get a letter from a solicitor to say you are sponsoring your spouse. If you need more time then reschedule the meeting.
DieselD is right, those 19 points are a good guideline. I would say though that certain points are not set in stone. For example, if you started a job in late March or April or May and worked for 6 months, you wouldn't have a P60 available so wouldn't provide it(you could clarify this by mentioning...
A fiance visa is fairly straight forward. You should check if you meet the following as the more evidence you have the easier it will be to succeed. 1) How long have you been in a relationship. 2) Do you have evidence of this. Records of skype chat, photos, plane tickets. 3) Have you ever lived toge...
