Thanks all for the clarification. The only snag now is that my joint sponsor pointed out that the expiry date the I-864 is 03/31/15 - http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864.pdf

Am I missing something here or is this a non-issue? All the other forms appear to have expiry dates well into the future.

Hi, I'm new to this process and just looking for some assistance. I'm in the US on an F-1 visa that has another 2 years on it before it expires, married an US Citizen in May. I am looking into filing for the K-3 as I am keen to get the EAD within the next few months so I can begin legally working in the United States. On the forums, I notice that people recommend the CR1 over K-3, but I wanted to check as I'm already legally within the United States that the K-3 was the right path to go down? Other questions -- we will be returning to Aus in January for a wedding reception there, should I be filing an I-131 with my application? In terms of timing, do I file the 1-130 along with the AOS and EAD forms or wait for the initial petition to be approved? And when does the medical normally take place, i.e. should I book that now?
