Can UART interrupt a delay_ms() ??

Simple question, I'm sending a byte serially to my PIC12F1840 to the UART port, and will have an ISR routine perform a task with the received number. But in the main program, if I am running a delay_ms() say for 100 ms or so, will it interrupt that mid stream and grab the incoming byte? or will it have to wait until the delay is over and miss the byte coming in?

Thanks.

Thanks! Ill set up a test to confirm the interrupt works during a long delay.
