Yes, you can enter on the K3 visa, and then go back to India for the CR1/IR1 interview instead of adjusting status. Unless you were planning to return to India anyway for a visit, that's probably a more expensive option though, especially if you haven't paid the IV fee bill yet.

You can say you're going to work for a software company once you've obtained the Employment Authorisation Document. When you enter the US on the K3, apply for EAD or Adjustment of Status - EAD should take about 3 months.

We need a timeline for Jatin and more information if the petition(s) have been filed. Unless Consular service is clearly requested on the I-130 filing, the I-130 is held in K3 cases, so the Consular option is off the table. You can pay $200 and file an I-824 to get it moving again but this has proved a very slow process for those who've tried it.

Teh applicant is unwise to discuss actual plans to work until they have authorization to do so.

I took that info out of my original comment because I misread the part about the approved I-130 - for some reason, I was thinking it had already been forwarded to NVC...

Approved I-130s are held at the service center when an I-129F is filed.

Hi Pushbrk, After comming to US on K-3 what if i send AOS bill (Affidavit of support) to NVC which i got it earlier, would it be enough to continue process CR1/IR1 and go for Visa interview again back home !! or i have to file i-824 ?

Thanks
