Friends - Here is where I am, let me know how to deal with it.  

Sep 25 2021 - I applied for K1 visa for my fiance

Oct 25 2021 - I married my fiance overseas

Nov 10 2021 - I 130 filed for CR1 and NOA1 received from NSC then it is transferred to CSC on the same day and it is in AR since then

Nov 25 2021 - I sent a withdrawl request for K1 visa

Dec 1 2021 - I-129F K3 visa applied (I know they don't issue but with the hope it may push I130 approval soon)

Jan 20  2022 - Received withdrawl notice of K1 (which is good)

Mar 23  2022 - Received withdrawl notice of K3 (which is unexpected)

Mar 25 2022 - I chatted with emma and created service request for TIER 2 officer.  No action yet...

Suggestions, advice, tips from experts are welcome and appreciated ...

So, you had 2 different I-129Fs in the system.  It appears your withdrawal letter withdrew both of them.    Your case will proceed as a CR-1/IR-1 case.  Just have patience.  You could submit another I-129F again, but I doubt it would benefit you.

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..

It’s either that, or they’re starting to send withdrawals because they’ve finally figured out that people are using K3s to speed up their cases..

Hopefully it doesn’t complicate OPs application.
