Has anyone in this group gone through the K3 (spouse/fiance visa) process successfully and then moved on with the CR-1/IR-1 INSTEAD of the AOS route? I'm trying to find a way around this price increase ($450 to $1010) for AOS. My husband's interview is July 23 and he cannot travel until after August 1st when the increase goes into effect. Our I-130 arrived at NVC in May and we were issued a case number June 13th. NVC responded to my email inquiry yesterday saying that the Fee Bill has been generated and mailed to us, so theirs a good chance I can get it back to NVC prior to the price increase on July 30th (by the way, does anyone know if the FEE BILL for the I-130 is being impacted by the price increases, I couldn't find anything on the ICIS site that talks about CR-1/IR-1 being impacted). Anyway, I think that moving forward with the CR-1/IR-1 process may be the best alternative for us to avoid the spike for AOS. If and when my husband is issued his K3 visa, he can just stay in Colombia and wait for the next process. If anyone has any thoughts on this please share.

Thanks,
