I applied for a k3 visa..recieved the 1st noa for the 2 forms..

on feb 18th my i129f form was approved..the uscis site says its on the 'post decision activity'..but my i130 is still on the 'initial review' stage..

So nvc recieved my i129f before my i130..does this mean my k3 has been approved? What is the next step? Do I have to wait for my i130 to get approved as well?

You likely would be on the K3 route. You still have to call the NVC to find out your case number. I suggest looking in the NVC website for their guides on how the K3 works as it's a rare visa.

The k3 goes to the NVC for a case number then shipped to the embassy. The embassy takes over. Its much faster because you bypass the NVC process. When the embassy gets your case, they will send out information for the medical etc. GOOD LUCK I hope my K3 gets approved first.

The NVC does not process the K3. It only goes from the service center to the NVC for a case number then shipped to the embassy( usually witnin a week or 2) for completion and interview. It is hard to say how long since every embassy is different. You don't need the I-130 to be approved to go this route. Actually, the I-130 usually will cause the K-3 to get closed but in the last few weeks I have seen many K-3's actually make it to the embassy before the approved I-130 even gets logged in at the NVC. Once it gets to the embassy you can contact the embassy directly.

The embassy will contact you regarding the process and what they need before the interview ( medical etc.) You would bring your original docs to the interview and any other documentation for proof etc.

Keep calling to see if there is a case number for both of your files
