I-485 filing time?

[jennie_dg]

Hi there,

I just sent an I-130 for my spouse.
After I receive a first I-797 receipt, I will apply for a K-3 visa.
I'm taking this way instead of filing an I-485 because I don't want to wait until I have an I-130 approval.

Today, I was told that my husband could file an I-485 with just a receipt of I-130 (I-797). If so, I don't need to apply for a K-3 and I think I'd better go directly for asking his green card.

I'm just confused with different information.
Would anybody help me on this matter?

Thanks in advance.

Jennie

Well, actually above information is from INS website.
