Congratulations! Now you can be prepared for the NVC process. I would not put my hope on K-3 right now. I think, all K-3s are stalled especially the ones after March 5 receipt date.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

Hello simple male,

I'm very happy that my I-130 has been approved, but I still want to wait just a couple more weeks to see what happens with my I-129f. I just want to use the one that gets my husband here to me the quickest. In the mean time while I wait, what is the next step to persuing the I-130 visa? I have my package prepared for the I-129f prepared already. I thought that It would be approved first.

Have a read of the below links. The flowchart will show you the various steps through NVC and the timesavers and shortcuts will save you much time during the NVC process.
