My advice is that you look at the pros and cons for the K1 and CR1/IR1. Our local office is Detroit and our AOS was processed very quickly. No matter, I would still never, ever put myself or my family

There are tens of thousands of CR-1 and IR-1 visas issued annually. K-1 is actually less common.

Well, that is because USCIS deals with petitions, not visas.  You should read the guides here at length.

2 - CA$350 here in Toronto - inquired from the only 3 clinics giving medical exams for US Visa. 10 days and the report is ready for pickup.

 

3 - Apply for advanced parole to leave USA after filing for AOS and before getting your green card.

Some people do stay longer and make a vacation out of it.  Have you checked if you can do the medical locally?  I've read it's available to some.  Good luck.
