I did not pay anything and did not communicate with them regarding IR1/IR2. The result wanted - for them to be here sooner. work and money don't matter at this point

If you've already scheduled the interview for the K-3/K-4, there's no reason to cancel it.

If you've received the fee bill for Affidavit of Support and the Immigrant Visa Application, and you don't mind the interview being scheduled at the embassy, rather than in the US, just go ahead and pay the fees (online if possible) and quickly file the I-864/DS-230I with NVC.

Then you'll at least have the flexibility of them entering on K-3/K-4, and you'll get the speed of consular processing over adjustment of status. It will still take a couple of months to process the CR-1. (Our I-130 was "completed" at NVC June 19, but the interview is scheduled for mid-August. They received the DS-230I on June 13, and we paid fess in early June, just to give you an idea of processing times). The main advantage of adjustment of status is that your family won't need to leave the US to complete the process. The downside is that you have to wait until they enter the US to start the adjustment of status process.

If, however, it would cause unusual financial hardship for your spouse and child to return to the country for the interview, you can just tell the NVC that you plan to do adjustment of status.
