umm, I'm confused a little bit..MY I-130 petition was aproved and 129-f still pending but should be aproved very soon..the problem is that for immigrant visa i have to go to Warsaw for interview and for k-3 I can do it in Lithuania.. of course I could wait for few months moore for NVC to complete the case and send it to Poland.. but I'm sure all of u knows what waiting means :( ..So my question is can I enter US with K-3 and later come back for interview for CR-1.. would it be ok or there are some things that I don't know...

...thanks for sharing experience.. :blush:

Congratulations on your approval. Yes, you can enter US with K-3 and go back for CR-1 interview. I hope, you get I-129F approval soon.

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

Since your I-130 was approved before your I-129F, you can either go back for the interview abroad or adjust status in the US, if you enter on a K3.
