filed an I-130 for my wife on Dec'14 2006 and then filed an I-129(f) on Feb 1st after receiving the NOA1
Yesterday I got an approval notice for both applications and they state the following:
I129(f)
It says that "The above petition has been approved. We have sent the original visa petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NYC), 32 Rochester Avenue , Portsmouth, NH 03801 - 2909. NVC Processes all approved immigrant visa petitions that need consular action. It also determines which consular post is the appropriate consulate to complete visa processing NVC will then forward the approved petition t o that consulate."
I-130
It says that "The above petition has been approved . The petition indicates that the person for whom you are petitioning is i n the
United States and will apply for adjustment of status . He or she should contact the local INS office to obtain Form I-485, Application for permanent residence. A copy of this notice should be submitted with the application."
If the person for whom you are petitioning decides to apply. for a visa outside the United States based on this petition, the petitioner should file Form 1-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, with this office to request that we send the petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC).
Now, the biggest problem is that my wife is still in Pakistan and I have no idea why the I-130 says she is here.
Now I am confused as to what my plan should be, should I continue with the K-3 and when she gets here process the I-130? is that the fastest way for me?

It looks like in your situation the K-3 will be the fastest way.
