I-130 goes to NVC, but no word on I-129F

I have been following the discussions on the I-130 & I-129F with respect to the K3 vs. CR-1/IR-1 paths. Specifically about the two petitions, in most cases, traveling together with most applicants ending up on the K3 route. I filed both petitions at the same time in early September. Currently, my I-130 is approved and my case is with the NVC. I am waiting on the I-864 and the visa bill from NVC. I called this morning and they are about to send those items out (or else they just did). So far, I have heard nothing from the USCIS about my I-129F except for an NOA1 I received in October.

Does it sound like I am on the CR-1/IR-1 path? Or, do I misunderstand the K3 process (which is not out of the question)? I know some people have had one petition held in order to "catch up" with the other, but I cannot tell if this is the case. It doesn't seem like it. Thank you for any feedback or advice.

Visa Approved May 21st, 2008.

Yes, you are now on the CR1 path. Most likely, once the USCIS goes to adjudicate the I129F, they will discover the lack of a pending I130 for your spouse (which is required for a K3 to be approved by USCIS), and they will term it.

That's my take as well. Your case is moving exceptionally fast however.

Yes, you are now on the CR1 path. Most likely, once the USCIS goes to adjudicate the I129F, they will discover the lack of a pending I130 for your spouse (which is required for a K3 to be approved by USCIS), and they will term it.
