Case: one's I-130 is approved and being processed at NVC. Now k-3 is approved and makes it to the embassy before I130.

Now, is it possible to go for k-3 interview, get a visa and wait for I-130 and go for I130 interview.?

I am thinking of doing this because I don't my wife to wait if I-130 is delayed beyond reasonable time. So she can have k-3 and wait to see if I-130 is processed soon.

02/28/06 I130 sent to VSC

06/12/06 Touch (address change)

10/03/06 NVC genarates I-864

10/11/06 IV bill recvd

10/11/06 IV bill sent

Yes, you have the right plan.

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
