I think that you can be a GM without being an IM first.

I think that you cannot be a GM without being an FM first because you need only
2300 rating to become an FM so you become an FM before you get the 3th GM norm.

I am not sure about it because I suspect that you need to save the 2300 for 24
games but it is clear that if you have a very high elo you cannot lose enough
rating so you practically can know that you have the FM before you got the GM
title.
