I have read here in several k3 subjects that if the i130 is approved prior to the k3 they automatically abandon the k3. With me the k3 is my only choice with a child involved since I did not send a seperate i130 form for the child. What if you do not want them to abandon the k3? Can you call and request that is doesnt get thrown out?

Thank you

Hello. It's the opposite actually - well, not that the I-130 is abandoned, but it's put on hold. You have nothing to worry about in regards to that if you want the K3. If the I-130 is approved first, the I-129f for the K3 will still keep going. If the I-129f is approved and forwarded to NVC, then the I-130 is put on hold.

For the K-4 to adjust status you will need an approved I-130... so you may want to prepare accordingly....

Thank you for your comments, always very helpful. As far as getting an approved i130 for the child for the aos can that i130 be done here in the local immigration office or does it have to go through the same process in the CSC?

I am not aware of any local adjudication of petitions

Nope, no local adjudication of petitions. You can file the I-130 now or wait and file it concurrently with the status adjustment. Before July 30 would have been the really smart time to file the I-130.
