This may be a waste of effort, but I am curious if there is any faster way to get my spouse-to-be into the US and living with me, as she has been struggling financially. I studied as much as I could the differences between K1 and CR1 (with K3) and was advised by a friend that works in immigration that we should go K1 route. We filed our 129f at the end of July this year and it we got NOA1 that it was received on 1Aug2022 and had begun processing at the California center. The approximate timelines are pretty disheartening. My fiance is a Canadian citizen, if it matters any. I was just curious if we had made a mistake and should have just gotten married over there and filed for the 130. I wasn't sure if there was any way for her to move here while waiting on this processing timeline, had we went the other route. I read that the Biden administration was going to work to get times down to 6 months, I don't know if there has been any change to be hopeful for though. Thanks!
