Hi! 

I know this might not sit well with some but here we go. 

We currently have a K1 visa application wating at NVC (NOA2 April 9, 2020) due to COVID everything came to an end and we're on hold now. 

Back in November I (the petitoner ) got COVID aand my fiancee came to take care of me, she stayed for the holidays and right after the holidays I had an ultrasound that showed a tumor. 

I had surgery last week and had the biopsy done (currently waiting results) but now we both dont want to be seperated and are seriously consiering doing AOS and forgetting our K1. 

Her six month permit ends in May, any suggestions on how to start or if we should wait?

Nothing wrong with your plan if both are currently inside the US.

1.  Step one:  Marry.  Once you marry, the K-1 is voided.  

2.  Step two- Follow this guide:

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Have you considered staying in the US and adjusting status for a green card?

and so sorry for what you are going thru

Marry ASAP and follow the guides for AOS as said in above post

Thank you! 

We got results back and its not a malignant tumor. 

Regardless, we were scared . I sent a expedite request about a week ago, hopefully we get approved. If not we're still considering getting married, its hard to go through something scary like that without your significant other.
