Thank God our case got Approved, I just received the email and confirm on the USCIS website.  My PD was August 30th.
My prayers goes to everyone who's still waiting for that approval, don't lose faith.
What's next after this?
 

Your approved petition gets sent to the National Visa Center. I recommend reviewing this guide to see what is ahead:

Also, there is a thread like this one for people waiting during the next part of the process:
 
 

Me personally I would recommend you to get legally married in Mexico and start your CR1 process. K3 are obsolete I thought that it would be a faster process but is not. Don't even bother submitting the I129f K3 because nothing is going to happen. They will process your CR1 and K3 will cancel. As long you are doing everything right you shouldn't get banned or denied but just play your cards right and be honest about everything.

Then withdraw your K1 case and get married and file for a CR1 and don't take that risk. Since you are barely starting don't push it before it too late.

So if the k1 is denied, how long do I have to wait or what do I need to obtain before I start with a k3 or cr1? Of course I will have to go to Mexico & get legally married .. but can I just start a new process? I heard one situation where the k1 was denied and they got legally married and started a k3, but the fiancé was banned from the U.S for 10 years. I don't want the same situation to happen to us.

My wife and I are in the same boat, we got married in Mexico but we only had a religious ceremony but not a civil. I submitted by CR-1 package back in January with everything including the church marriage certificate, and I just got a RFE that we need a civil wedding certificate since Mexico doesn't consider that a religious ceremony a wedding. I had called and visit the local USCIS office in L.A. and both places times they told me that as long there was a wedding it would have been enough for our process. Now what I did I flew back to Mexico and got married to my wife through Civil since that was the the requirements that USCIS wanted. I would recommend you to get married again, because they already have evidence of your wedding and most likely you can get denied for the all above reasons, there was a wedding and your wife is no longer your fiancee. You might even have to change your case to a CR-1 instead of a K-1. But again it all case by case basis. I hope this can help you..

I can't speak to the issue regarding traditional vs civil marriage. Regarding your divorce, I was also divorced in California. I sent in as evidence the final "judgment" papers I got from the court that says the marriage was terminated on [this date]. I never received any other papers; I'm not sure "divorce nisi" is something that is issued in California. Are you sure you sent the final judgment? You mention the paper you sent said the marriage "should be terminated" on [this date] which doesn't sound final.

They will let you know when its approved at USCIS.. Then once it's at NVC You need to call and find out infor but do not call about 2 weeks after it says its approved.. I called after 2 weeks and got my case number then the welcome letter.. It explains everything in the letter..
