If your evidence is good enough for a K3 then its also good enough for a CR1.....

You should be eligible for either, or you should not be going.

You've already paid for most of the IV process. If you take the K-3 and then file AOS, you have thrown about $500 down the pan.

I vote hang in there for 2 weeks, get packing and take the immigrant visa appointment.

If you go to the K-3 'just for fun', it costs the amount of the visa fee and your day's expenses. $100+

The VJ ers have advised, wait the 2 extra weeks and do the CR-1/IR-1, but it is ultimately up to you if you want to spend all the extra money and time doing the AOS.

Do you actually have to tell the visa which interview you are going to? What happens if you just don't show to the K3? Is your IR1 interview still good to go? They don't just treat not showing to the K3 as an abandonment by the beneficiary on all cases? Just curious.

I would call and ask if you need to drop one of the interview dates or if you can just leave them both open. If you need to make a choice - it is very simple choose IR-1 as everyone has pointed out once approved for IR-1 you become a green card holder whereas if you are approved for K-3 status you would have to apply for Adjustment of Status (AOS) once you have arrived in the US, pay more money, file more forms, wait, wait and wait. If you want to work you have to file another form EAD and wait, wait, wait. With IR-1 you have the green card - no more forms, no more money and the only difference is the two weeks between the interview dates.
