My case approved PD 12/7/19

Oooo! That is great news! Congrats you guys!

We are inching slowly onward. It just occurred to me the other reason things could be moving so slowly is because of an abundance of applications. I believe July and August there was a huge rush to get in applications before some of the new immigration policies were supposed to come in to effect.

PD - 12th July 2019 at Nebraska Service Centre.

Same here, my Pd is July 17th and filed K3 in early Aug, no news yet, this gives me hope.

Noticing a bunch of filers here don't have timelines set up. It really helps us all if you set your timeline up so we can see the latest approvals and the algorithm gets adjusted.

Did your I-130 get transferred? Or any idea what sped up the process? Thanks!

Hi everyone, 

 

This is my first post- I just created a timeline to add to the data pool.

 

I'm an early August Nebraska filer and I see (at least) 2 Nebraska July approvals today.

 

I just checked my I-130 receipt number online (not "My Account"- just the online checker) and it says as follows: "It is being processed at our E-Filed Case Processing location". My I-130 NOA1 footer says Nebraska. When I do an online status check for my I-129F, which has a "LIN" receipt number, it does not reference the "E-Filed Case Processing location", but instead makes reference to the specific service center.

 

I know there's been quite a bit of speculation surrounding the IOE numbers, and in particular about how they are being processed. Just thought I'd share this in case it hadn't been conveyed before. 

 

I don't want to add to the rumor mill unnecessarily but I wanted to share this in case anyone has additional information or thinks it's relevant. I don't know whether these early approvals are rare exceptions, expedites, a product of workload transfers, or whether they are somehow related to the IOE system. I guess I'm hoping the new "IOE system" (if one even exists) is somehow responsible for these early approvals and indicative of more to come.

 

Thanks to everyone for the information posted here. It's been tremendously helpful to us during this process. 

 

PS: Congratulations to the couples who were approved! Thanks for the update.

The I129f does not mention it since the I129f is still only a paper petition so it is not electronic, while I130 petitions are now all electronic whether filed online or sent by mail. Nebraska seems to be very finicky lately (2 July approvals while many from January and February 2019 are still waiting) so I guess we will just have to see how they progress from here

Thank you, Lily. I see now that other digital forms get IOEs as well- not just I-130s.

Any new approval from TSC?

Yep, since I129f is not digital it doesn't get an IOE, which is why it doesn't state about the "e-filing center" on it (which is just the computers at a specific service center anyways)

Thank you so much  I just saw someone with our exact same PD get approved at Nebraska. I'm starting to think this is just a lottery 😂
