Alright so if we decided to go with the CR1 route, what's does the process look like? 

 

Just trying to get it straight in my head. 

 

We would need to get married ASAP in Denmark (3 month waiting time in Ireland). Then send in an I-130 to the Embassy in Dublin with a request for DCF? 

 

Would I even qualify for DCF? My understanding was that it's only available in emergency situations, and I only have 4 months left in Ireland. 

 

The other option is to get married and fill out an I-130, then move to New Zealand under working holiday agreements (both Brazilians and Americans can go work in New Zealand) while the CR1 process takes place. What about DCF at the Embassy in New Zealand?

 

What do you guys think? 

 

If we decide to go a different route, how would I cancel the I-129F petition now that it's already been sent in? Would I get the fee back? 

A “working holiday” income still doesn’t solve your problem of needing a US-based income, or a foreign income that would continue after returning.  Most people in your situation return to establish domicile and get a job.   Temporary separation during immigration is unavoidable for most.
