Congratulations, Lola, and good luck. But I'm confused. Did you apply for the CR1 and throw in the K3 later as backup? Or did you originally plan for K3, which had you do the I-130 first? In any case, your K3 is now in motion and you escaped the Marriage Broker hold up. Yeah! So what's the plan? Come on K3 and do Adjustment of Status?
