I'm assuming you are looking for next steps for CR-1 Spouse visa?

You could file i129 as a k3 but it's a waste of time.  Your cr1 will most likely approve before the k3 canceling it out.  I tried it myself and had no luck and have not seen one k3 get approved since I've been on this journey.

the i129f was also used for k3 to bring spouses of USC and adjust status in the US. since it takes the same time as the i130 to be approved, now at the nvc level they close the form administratively to continue the consular processing. but the form used is the same i129f

Why they don't give this information publicly and erase it k3 as they did other forms and category ... They are not announced this yet

The NVC does have this information public.  The USCIS are the ones who do not and the life act that created the K3 has not yet been revoked.
