You should've get the NOA-1 it would have nothing to do with your husband case. I would try to get a hold of them. Did they cash the check?

Non-receipt of NOA1 (acknowledgement) is not a big issue. Did you get your CIS case number when you talked to USCIS? Be patinet and you will get the approval (NOA2).

I am not sure why you want go the K-3 route, if gets closed once the I-130 is approved and gives you no big advantage. A few Consulates may get K-3 visa interviews quickly then CR1 visas but it is not significant. Also after K-3 visa, you will need to do adjustment of status, which costs around 1000 more.
