Thanks to all my friends on VJ. The 297 days seemed like forever, but it was worth the wait.

Congratulations!

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

Well, if someone has the K3 approved, he/she could go with the K3 and save about 10 weeks at NVC. NVC takes about 2-3 weeks to process K3 and 3-4 months to process I-130. So, if someone wants to save that time, he/she can go with K3, but the person would have to pay an extra fee for the AOS.
