Thank you for your support everyone.

surprisingly the i130 approval came without any touches or case status updates despite the fact that we had registered for the email notifications. after a couple of months of virtually no updates or movement i checked the case status on the uscis site and was pleasantly surprised to see that it stated that the case status was approved.

we were a bit confused whether we should pursue the i130 route or follow the K3 since according to the timelines our k3 approval should come through in around 3.5 months while the NVC steps will pretty much take around the same time. we have however, decided to follow the i130 and also let the k3 take its natural course.

best of luck to all of you.

Regards and best wishes,

Alamgir
