I have seen several people mention a priority date when it comes to the processing of I-130 and I-129F petitions. Does this mean that petitions are adjudicated based on the date they were received by USCIS instead of the NOA1 date?

Also, when it comes to determining priority of processing for a K-3. does USCIS go by the NOA1 for the I-130 or the NOA1 for the I-129F? Since I sent my petitions together, the NOA1 dates are only a few days apart. I am curious so that I can better compare my timeline with those of people who have recently gotten NOA2 from CSC.

Thanks for any clarification,

From the last batch of approvals out of CSC, it appears that they are going by the I129F dates for the K3 adjudications. It also appears that they were still going by the NOA1 date and not the received date. There was an announcement from USCIS that they would honor the received date because there was such a slow down in receipting over the summer and fall.

My I130 should have been approved already but it seems USCIS is holding it and going by my I129.
