Cpt. Ewok says : "This visa option is automatically applied for by K-3 applicants when they file the I-130 (part of the K-3 process). The K-3 applicant can abandon the K-3 route and pursue the IR1/CR1 instead."

So, since my I-130 was approved a long time ago, back in Sep 2007, and nothing is moving on the I-129F route, then

a quick reversal and going the IR1/CR1 route would be my best option? My lawyer back in the states wants another

$ 2000.00 to do this. Is it worth it?

so have you heard from NVC about I-130? if so, go with it and abandon your I-129. why do you need a lawyer. if you're married and one of you is a US citizen, it should be straightforward. CR 1 is the visa you need. don't wast time with I-129

I agree. Save those money what you would use for lawyers.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

If you haven't heard anything from then NVC, then it may be because the USCIS is holding your I-130 pending your I-129f. You may have to schedule an INFOpass, or call the NVC, to see if this is the case.

If it is the case, then I think you'll have to file an I-824, to make the USCIS move your I-130 petition to the NVC. Has anyone, recently, needed to do this?

From experience, you don't need a lawyer they don't go any faster and they can delay your case by not doing things correctly if they are not serious workers. Save the money.

Good luck.
