Hi, our I-130 was just approved (received email notification that it was approved and a notice has been sent). Is it true that if we also applied for K-3 (which we did), the I-130 will not be forwarded to NVC right away, but will be held until K-3 is approved? The I-129F was forwarded from Chicago to the CSC (where I-130 was being processed) the same day that I-130 was approved. Please let us know. Thank you!

Yes and no. If the I-129F is approved before or at the same time of the I-130, yes. If the I-130 is significantly ahead of the I-129F then no. This is one of those times when filling in your profile and timeline are critical to getting the right answer to your question. Please do so.

In your case, your I130 would almost definitely be sent to NVC within few days. My case is similar to yours. My I130 was approved the same day that my I129F was forwarded to CSC. It appears that there is still some time left for your I129F to be approved so they will definitely send your I130 to NVC.
No, it is not true.
