Oh my gosh! We've been approved! Only 90 days after NOA1, we received yesterday's I-130 approval.  I would like to thank the JMPM who gave me the tip to send the I-129F. I confess that I am shocked. I didn't expect it so soon.  It's 7 months away from my husband and I know how much it hurts. Unlike most, first I received the approval of the I-130 and after a few hours I received the denial of the I-129F. Stay firm and have faith!!! Good luck to all

What is the difference from IOE and those that are getting their I-129F approved? 

The IOE receipts are part of the new system where the I130 is now scanned and electronically sent to the service center, instead of the I130 being a packet of paper in a stack like they were pre-IOE. So, pre-IOE I130s it possibly could have been just easier for them to just find them and pull them out of the stack when they got the I129f so that they wouldn’t have to deal with it later and so they could deny the I129f asap. But with the IOE being electronic petitions, it’s unsure whether I129f speeds the process for those with IOE instead of LIN receipts. So far we haven’t seen any IOEs sped up with I129f, they’ve all been LIN. But maybe it’s too early, we just have to see 🤷‍♀️ No harm in trying either way IMO

Was your receipt starting with IOE?

Yes it is. I tried to read yesterday what does it mean. Apparently it’s new online numbering that started in June. But I sent papers by regular mail. Will see. I have sent out my 129f yesterday

Hello again, my 130 is pending, I filled out form 129f today, just pictures missing. Now I got confused. Did someone of you filed form 129F when living together overseas? We are in europe but we want to go back latest in summer of 2020 so children can start school. I think I am going to file it and just hope for the best, instead of waiting forever. Thanks in advance

Yes, we do. We both live in Switzerland and filed I-129F the other day.

It seems like if you don’t have an IOE receipt it’s still speeding things up. So anyone at Nebraska prior to July could still have luck with it. I’ve not seen anyone with an IOE receipt that has filed a I-129f get any progress yet (is included)

Thank you.
