Hi...
I was looking at the media brew webpage and seeing many many people who say their i-130 is approved before k-3. THen, according to their timelines it has just been about 6 months since they got NOA 1 for k-3.
My case status for i-130 says 465 days...is this really taking less time?? Can someone tell me if i could expect my i-130 even earlier than that??
THanks

It all depends on which service center you are going through for the I-130. With Vermont it is quite possible that the I-130 gets approved before the K-3. With the rest of them, this is highly unlikely. Texas, for example, gave me 999 days as the length of time to process my I-130.
