Go for the CR1 visa. Its 10 times better than the K3. You'll enter the US as a resident insted of being a nonimmigrant. K3 Visa sucks either way 
Good Luck!!!!

We have the same situation: approval for I-130 , but not for I-129F. We're pursuing the I-130. I think that's your best bet! Good luck.

Congratulations
I agree I-130 CR1/IR1 visa is the best, but you still have a way to go, you still have the NVC process to go through, which takes as long as you allow it to, so get those forms sent back as soon as they send them to you, then you have the Embassy part

Awesome news! We are in the same situation & persuing both just now too.
Just sent off our AOS Bill Fee and did the DS-3032 via email Timesaver. So far, so good

Our I-130 is also approved. We are thinking about pursuing CR-1 only and giving up I-129F. As you know, I-129F is affected by IMBRA and it will take more time to get it approved. So I won't waste my time on I-129F anymore, though I spent $170.00 on it. I was hoping that I-129 would approve much sooner than I-130. But now I have clear cut directions.
Please get ready for NVC process. Read the time savers on VJ, start gathering forms, tax transcripts, etc.
Same here! I'm all about whichever way gets my husband (godsavethequeen) here with me the fastest. Even if it means him flying back for CR1 interview!
Just to be clear about this... the I-129f was an application for a K3 nonimmigrant visa. This is not a requirement for her to emigrate here and the K3 is an optional path that you can take that was intended to try to unite your family faster (though it doesn't really seem to work too well anymore). It is only related to your IR1/CR1 in that you have to have filed an IR1/CR1 before you can apply for a K3 - from there, they are separate (unless they both get to the embassy at the same time, then apparently the embassy drops the K3 in favor of the IR1/CR1). The K3 is only a visa to let your wife temporarily come here wait with you while your IR1/CR1 (immigrant visa) is being processed.
As many people before me have advised, you might very well be better off letting your K3 fly into the ether and focus your energy and efforts on your IR1/CR1. Though as long as you've invested in the K3, you may as well not manually cancel it just yet. For your IR1/CR1, see my sig for the NVC timesavers thread that you should read and for a link to a thread I started to try to help people get their tax transcripts easily. Good luck on your path through the NVC. ttyl,
