You can also file an application to get an order from Court that if the police files a FIR ,the accused would get 1 weeks time to move an application u/s 438 of CRPC.

anticipatory bail needs to be filed only after registration of FIR and the suggestion given above that seven days time may be granted, has become obsolete.

you can move your bail even before registration of FIR but depends upon your location, coz every state has different practice.

Good luck.
