So.... My lawyer doesn’t advise that I file a 129f for a K3 on top of my 130 because I got and IOE number with my PD. Has anyone with an IOE # got a faster process of their I-130 filing a I-129F?

Your lawyer frankly isn't up to speed with how things are being processed nowadays. As of this year, IOE numbers are being processed in the same manner as physical applications. This just means that they scanned your application and tossed it away - but you're digitally queued behind the other applications (whether physical or digital). Meaning that an IOE application is no faster than any other. File the I-129F - it costs no money. I had to convince my lawyer to file it, and paid him some cash to do it for me.

Guys, please help! Our RFE letter says:

 

”Include duplicate copies if you are requesting consular notification.”

 

Does anyone knows what consular notification is/means?? 

 

We we got requested with the I-130A (which our lawyer never made us fill :/) so should we send one copy or 2 copies? 

 

Thanks for your input and help!

This could be a mistake when the IO wrote this statement the denial statement was probably for another case. Looks like the IO probably copied and past this text in by error. My approve was the same day as your and mine say the exact same thing except for the denial part.

Based on what I've been seeing here so far, it's safe to say I see good news coming your way any time from now

The long wait is gradually coming to an end

Do I understand correctly that we don’t need to pay a fee for I-129 if we have a pending I-130?

That is correct

I would suggest filing it right away but be aware of the risk - no matter how small. If they do accept the K3 and deny the I-130 (seldom does this occur), you'll need to apply for a readjustment of status to get your spouse a GC to remain living in the U.S. permanently. 

There's no telling how much longer NSC will continue to process these I-129F(e)s in this manner, so do not make any plans contingent on a expeditious review timeframe. Expect the full 12.5-15 months, and hope for a quicker review by filing the I-129F(e) for a K3. However, there's a substantial amount of evidence indicating a 4-12 week adjudication from K3 priority date.  That's been the trend for everyone, irrespective of the I-130 PD (someone with a 2019 June I-130 PD got an adjudication this week after filing the K3 shortly after their I-130). I'm 43 days since filing the K3 application - i should receive a notice of action within a month based on recent trends.

They wouldn't deny the I-130. The K3 is (or was!) a visa to wait for the approval of the I-130 while in the US. If the I-130 is denied for any reason, that has nothing to do with the I-129F at all.
