Re: I-130 and I-129F approved on same day
Update:
We received a package today from the NVC regarding our Immigrant Petition which means that our I-130 did arrive at the NVC. We are planning to pursue this visa rather than the K3. Should we contact the NVC or the London Embassy to let them know this? (Or perhaps both?) Thanks for all the replies so far.

You still need to find out what it takes for the NVC to start the Immigrant Visa processing (and remain aware that this could take a few months yet before interview).
I'd suggest that you call them and find out.

Just because the I-130 is at the NVC does not mean that we know what they are going to do with it.

They sent me the DS-3032 and asked for the affidavit of support processing fee bill (which I just paid online). I believe this is the exact steps that are taken in order to start the process. I am currently writing a letter to the NVC informing them that we wish to pursue the immigrant visa rather than the K3 which was already forwarded to the embassy. The letter said that email was the preferred method of communication but perhaps calling would get a quicker answer.

The NVC has several contact addresses. We will contact them by phone tomorrow and also send an email if neccesary. However, I was just looking at the post from the NVC and London Embassy regarding the I-129F and I cannot find anywhere to contact them besides the Embassy address (will they open any mail there?) Will contacting the NVC about our intentions to kill the K3 be enough?

(next question: what the HECK are they up to out there and will they make up their minds!)

If the Consulate has your K-3 case started, notify them as well as the NVC so they can release your K-3 interview spot to someone else.

jbf,
The NVC is out of it with respect to the I-129f petition and K3 visa at this point. The consulate has the petition and everything happens there.
Notify the consulate and don't worry about the NVC with respect to the K3.
Do respond to communications from the NVC with respect to the I-130 petition and immigrant visa application.
Regards, JEff
