1) The pilot program was around May-June, but the pilot program has ended, and now every filer since around June-August receives an IOE receipt. If you check one of the K3 threads I think there is a thread for IOE I130&I129f filers

2) As far as I know, I129f is paper only

Sorry but one more question if you don't mind - Do you mention your I-130 case number on I-129f when sending it after I-130 so both can be linked or does USCIS figure it out themselves?

You include a photocopy of your I130 NOA1 letter with your I130 package along with the other required documents (1 passport photo each of beneficiary & petitioner, photocopy of petitioner’s proof of US citizenship (eg birth certificate), and photocopy of marriage certificate)

Did you have a LIN or IOE ?

Our NOA1 date is July 10 2018 and we are still stuck at NVC. Many many months ago my congressman requested a expedite and they agreed at the next step (that would be where we have been at NVC now since June something of this year and still waiting on them. My congressman has made several attempts to get them to move it along and even with them putting in writing that they would expedite he basically just gets a F you, we can do whatever we want as their answer. He is dumbfounded how bad this process is and how rude the USCIS and NVC employees are. Best of wishes that your congressman has better luck with them than mine has...🤞🙏

We got our NOA 2. Hope you will soon too!

Just fyi, we filed for an expedite last week. The last update we received on the expedite request was an email saying its under review on Friday. 
no update after that, but we got the dq email today instead. 
also made lots of calls to nvc. on the last call my husband was informed that our dq must be near and today it was here 😃!
not really sure if all of this helped or they just dq’ed us in the normal processing time, just sharing! 

Congratulations, how long took you got Email DQ,after you sent your documents.

Anyone with May 2019 filing date for parents get approved from Nebraska? I’m on the thread for the May filers, people who were lucky to get assigned to other centers are already getting their NOA2.

Mine took 369 days. Nebraska Service Center for parents. Hopefully, it’s faster now.

Nebraska is the slowest service center and is taking 12-15.5 months right now. Unfortunately you may not hear anything for a while..

We've seen people say this countless times and now it's our turn to say the magic word "APPROVED".
Went in 7:30 a.m and by 9:30 a.m I was on my way.
Asked to come collect passport tomorrow at 3pm.
All's well that ends well.
Keep the faith. Yours will go smoothly like ours.

Congratulations I'm happy for you.

We got Nebraska and it is absolutely frustrating. I have seen some people at Nebraska take only a few short months to go through this process while others are taking much longer. I don't understand how these people have very similar PD's and they get so lucky to have their case processed so quickly.

Those people you are mentioning about taking only a few months to get approved are the ones who are spouses and applied K3/I-129F after their initial I-130 submission. This is a loophole and not available for parents. We, who applied for parents, unfortunately have to simply wait 12 months or more. On the other hand, who are spouses and got assigned to Nebraska are really lucky that this "I-129 shortcut" is helping them get approved even faster than any other SCs. So, if you applied for your spouse then you can take advantage of this too. But if you applied for parents then well welcome to the club

I am one of those people that applied for my spouse and I applied for the I-129f also. Still heard nothing yet. They've had the I-130 for over 6 months now and the I-129f for 50 days and counting. I wish everyone luck no matter the petition!

Do you happen to have an IOE receipt number? It looks like it doesn't work with those.

I’ve created a special thread for this case and there are people who submitted their I-129F 140 days ago and haven’t heard anything yet 😔

I do not have an IOE number. I have LIN #'s for both petitions.
