Thinking about it is causing you to continue to loose time. Not making a decision is a decision. Sounds like you need to take a sheet of paper out and create two columns, one pro and the other con. Start with the K1 and then look at CR-1.  Once you have listed the pros and cons it will make your decision much easier. Here, I'll help you get started.
 
K-1 vs CR-1 Full Analysis
 
K-1
More expensive than CR-1    
Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork)    
Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (about 5-6 months)    
Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (about 5-6 months)    
Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period    
Spouse will not receive Green Card for 10 to 12 months after Adjustment of Status is filed.
If you have red flags this may be the best place to start in case of denial.
Estimated timeline is approximately 8 to 10 months (NOA1 to Interview)  This is officially quoted as 6 to 12 months.
 
K-1 Fees
$535 - USCIS Filing Fee
$265 per person - DS-160 (Visa Application)
$200 to $400 - Medical Fee
$1,225 per person - AOS Fee (Includes EAD/AP if filed together)
$750 per child under 14
$680 per person - ROC Fee
 
 
$2,705 plus medical (K-1)
$2,170 plus medical (K-2 over 14 years old)
$1,695 plus medical (K-2 14 years old and younger)
 
 
CR-1    
Less expensive than K-1    
No Adjustment of Status  (I-485, I-131, I-765) required.    
Spouse can immediately travel outside the US    
Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival.    
Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US    
Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport.
Spouse has Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to the United States
If you are truly concerned about a denial, the K-1 may be a better place to start.
Estimated timeline is 10 to 12 months (NOA1 to Interview) This is officially quoted at 12 to 14 months.
 
CR-1 Fees
$535 - USCIS Filing Fee
$120 - Affidavit of Support Fee
$325 - DS-260 (Visa Application)
$200 to $400 - Medical Fee
$220 - USCIS Immigrant Fee
$680 - ROC (if married less than 2 years at POE)
 
$1,200 plus medical (per person if married more than 2 years when filing)
$1,880 plus medical (per person if married less than 2 years at POE)

I'm running 8th weeks on my culture now so far I don't receive any call from sleC and I'm going back this April 12 (hoping to get vaccine). We have a group chat for those who undergo sputum and most likely once they call you earlier and ask you to come back it means positive they won't tell you thru phone. 

Yes you can but if you want and accurate result then do the afb smear test ( that's a smear where they have to culture until 8 weeks). That's the best way for you to find out. 

Last thing 1st.   DO NOT .. I repeat ... DO NOT start any type of TB treatment outside of the SLEC medical ... doing so will add a year to your wait.
 
If you had some lung issues and it caused scarring of your lungs plan on SPUTUM (60 days) ...  
 
Just follow the process ..  don't try to 2nd guess it .. don't try to "save time" ... it won't happen.    
 
And yes, do bring copies of your medical records to your medical at SLEC

Most likely your sputum culture is negative. Congrats . I'm on my 7th weeks of culture and going back to slec next week for my vaccine hopefully. We both have same concern about interview slot for April but as of now no available slot the closest slot is may 10th

Thank you . This is a very rare case I heard to get a call from sleC during 6 weeks. We actually have a group chat to those who experience sputum. Most of them who got call from sleC is around 1-4 weeks of culture. But yes it's really case to case basis. 

Hi guys and gals,
My fiances baby will be coming with her to the US. 
 
The question is, he will be 2 years old when we get the Noa2 (most likely next Feb). We want to know if she should bring him or not to the interview considering his age? She already has all documents (passport etc) for him.
