I-140 approved through June 22 — does that mean I can already file the DS-260 and wait for an interview at the U.S. consulate?

After submitting the DS-260 — the status is tracked on the CEAC portal; there’s no separate “forms accepted” letter, you just see that the case is moving. I checked with my attorney — and in the end, when the visa is approved at the interview, you simply enter the US and the green card arrives by mail.
