My wife came to the US on a K-3 visa because of a miscommunication between us when our I130 and I129 were approved on the same day. She went to the K-3 interview instead of the CR-1 interview. Is it possible to get her K-3 changed to a CR-1? This would help us financially since the fee for the AOS is now over $1000. Thank you in advance for your answers.

I am starting to worry now. I am in the middle of NVC processing(IV bill paid, preparing I864 form). My I129F was approved two days ago. Can USCIS recall my I130 from NVC? I want to go with I130. What should I do now? Please advice

At this point the fee to file and I-824 to get your I-130 moving again, plus the CR1 visa fee plus the travel expense back to the country of origin would far exceed the AOS costs and take 8 or 9 months to boot.

Just follow thru with the K-3.

Any thing else would cost you a lot of money and you will have to send your spouse back again.

Don't worry.

If your I-130 is in NVC, it will continue to process.

If both the I-130 and the K3 get to your embassy, just have them cancel the K3 and interview for the I-130.

Usually they automatically do this.

A CR-1 visa is for a married couple with the beneficiary still living in another country. Either way, the airline ticket back would be more than the $1010 for the AOS.
