I-130 completed at NVC; K-3 just approved at USCIS

[Antares 0]

hello everyone,

I have a question. My 1-130 petition has been approved at NVC since october 2 2007. The case has not been scheduled for an interview yet. They claim there is a lot of backlog in my home embassy.

Just today USCIS approved my k-3 application. I am actually ready to pursue the k-3 visa now beleieving it will be faster since the inetrview is scheduled by the embassy. My question is:

How does NVC handle that kind of situation?

Given that my I-130 is waiting for an interview date (God knows when), will that prevent them from forwading my k-3 to the embassy when they receive it ?

How long does it take NVC to receive completed application from USCIS. I originally filed in Chicago. I have no idea where they sent it to thereafter.

Thanks for your response

You can move forward with the K3 unless and until NVC schedules the I-130's interview. If you get the K3, you'll have to go back to the embassy one day for your immigrant visa interview (which you can delay up to 1 year), unless of course you'd prefer to abandon it and go for adjustment of status instead (your K3 status will be good on its own for up to 2 years). However, if NVC suddenly schedules your I-130's interview, consider the K3 petition and interview as cancelled.
