Here I go again..more "what ifs"
What if I went ahead and tried the K-3 route? We tried the CR1 route and its just not working. We are finished with the NVC but sorry I CANNOT wait 7 months-ish. I want to throw up thinking about it.
I have a couple of questions:
1) Apparently, since the July 30th fee increase, there is no fee for an I-129F. WOOHOO! It says to send it where you have a "pending" I130. I don't have a pending I-130 anymore its been approved and sent on to the NVC. I just have no clue where to send the form?!?! My I-130 was approved through the CSC. The only thing is, originally, I was supposed to go through TCS for the I-130 but they transferred it to CSC. Would it go to TX or CA?!
2) Once the I129F is approved and sent to the NVC, do I have to redo my affidavit of support and other forms that I already submitted for the CR1 route that has been accepted?
3) Let's just say all of that goes quickly (yeah right) and he gets an interview in Vancouver then moves to the U.S., can we still continue on the CR1 route, or will he be forced to adjust status in the U.S.? It would be nice to keep the CR1 option open and just fly up to MTL whenever he is scheduled an interview.
I know this is a waste of my thinking and time but I am so sick over this CR1 crap.
Full Version: My patience is GONE.

If the I-130 has already gone NOA2 and is now at NVC, filing I-129F won't speed anything up, K-3 (I-129F) needs to be filed between I-130 NOA1, and NOA2.
At this point the CR-1 will beat any K-3 that is filed for.
Also adjustment of status from a K-3 is $1010, the CR-1 gets a green-card upon entry, allowing the IMMIGRANT to work.
K-3 needs to file for EAD and the NON-Immigrant may have to wait up to 90 days to get that document allowing work.
