Can’t a waiver be filled concurrently with the I 130? To save time after the interview? 

Not sure about your specific situation but yes, they can be filed concurrently. My husband was denied at consulate interview in Sydney for K1 due to CIMT. Fast forward almost 3 years, we are married now, filed I-130, I-485, and I-601 concurrently last April and our interview is scheduled later this month. We filed the I-601 based on his denial back in 2017 and they told him at that interview that he was eligible to apply for the waiver. Attorney also confirmed it could be filed concurrently on our totally different applications. 

Married since 3/10/2017

According to your timeline he is in the US.

I'd concur with the CR-1 suggestion. An I-129F will sit to die if returned. A returned I-130 can be reaffirmed.

Well, I am thinking since we were denied solely due to 'fake divorce papers' which meant I wasn't legally free to marry the petitioner and the divorce has been properly taken care of, would it not make sense to redo the K1 for quicker processing time since I am not legally free to marry? 

I am just trying to objectively reason with my partner's argument.

Yes. After a failed K1 and a withdrawn CR1 he finally was approved for a visitor visa and we applied from the US. Concurrently with the I-601

You can go either way, I think most would choose CR1 but a K1 is possible.

Our attorney also told us we could file concurrently, since we know what the misrepresentation will be about. Because we know why I was denied the K1.

Begs the question why no lawyer wished to take on your case.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Hello Everyone! It's been a little quiet here (been lurking for a while now) and I was just wondering if anyone has had any response recently from USCIS on their 601 waivers? If so, what was your receipt date?

Hello

I filed on Nov 12 and got approval on April 28.
