I've just sent a I-130 package to the Chicago lockbox with a $355 check and a cover letter stating I'd like to apply for a K3 visa for my spouse. However I didn't mention anything about the CR1. Would USCIS still process the CR1 for me? It would obviously be in my best interest to pursue both routes (CR1 is less costly and there is no need to adjust status). I've

Not that it matters but, I found it quite curious that I received my NOA1 from the USCIS center in California. My permanent residence is in NJ. I always thought the Chicago lockbox directed documents to USCIS centers by geographic region, in which case Vermont is the closest for me.

When you file the I-130, your automatic route is the Cr-1. You will need to file an addtional document, the I-129F for the K-3. If you do not wish to file the K-3 then do not file the I=129F

Good luck.
