I am in similar situation and would like to know the same answer! I have been debating for a long time on whether I should pay the NVC and continue with CR-1 or is it too late?

Wong Forum, probably the biggest risk would be if you re-set the AP process.

If it's just document verification, I don't think it would reset the AP. The only way this would happen is if they were interviewing with a completely different consulate. This is the thing, it might actually be a waste of money, because you would be paying a new filing fee, etc and you still have to wait on the verification, if it comes before your interview (which could take months) then you would obviously take the k3 and run as fast as you could back home.

It is a personal decision, and you should probably consult with an attorney about it, but it definitely won't speed things up. You'll still be waiting on that document to be verified. Mine in Pakistan took six months.

Whatever AP you're in must be completed before the visa will be issued. A new interview or visa type will change nothing.
