I think contact the USCIS and present the concern. If not satisfied, approach the USCIS through your congressperson as well.

IMO, IR1/CR1 is the best path.

WAIT A WEEK AFTER APPROVAL DATE AND CALL NVC AT 603-334-0700. SPEAK WITH AN OPERATOR AND SHE WILL GIVE YOU THE NVC NUMBER. TAKE ADVANTAGE AN GIVE HER YOUR AND YOUR SPOUSE E MAIL ADDRESS.

Well, that's certainly a K-3 situation, ya?

Suggest you call in to NVC, get a Human and start inquiring about case status on the I-129F

see http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/264972-shortcuts-when-checking-for-updates-from-the-nvc-and-dos/

You may be one of the lucky ones, where the I-129F travels from USCIS into NVC without the I-130 paired up with it.

If that's the case, and NVC truly lobs the I-129F casefile into the Embassy (that happens within 3 weeks, usually)

then ya got a shot at the K-3. If you'd like to take that shot - just remember, once yer foreign spouse is in the USA on a K-3 visa, still have to an AOS procedure. Then 2 years down the road, a ROC procedure.

The bad news, IMO - is IF you two will have been married more than 2 years on interview day, or on 'jump to USA' day -

then

a K-3 visa holder will only be awarded a '2 year card' after AOS.

If yer I-130 is held up because of an RFE (sorry, dinna check yer timeline, at all) then , IMO, it makes much sense to go through with the rest of the I-130 processing - and the NVC processing, then DELAY the 'jump to USA' date till after the 2 year marriage mark - cause then -

ya get the golden egg - the IR-1 VISA, resulting in a 10 year green card, on first issuance of green card.

IMO, trumps a lot of 'extra fees' and silliness with USCIS, always.

Hey - congrats on I-130 approval on the 24th, though - now you can play at NVC. I'm betting the I-129F will be administratively closed soonish. Disregard most of what I wrote above, as I'm betting it won't apply to you.

Good Luck, whatever route you decide to take !
