I have no idea how, but our 130 was just approved! We didn't request an expedite. We did file an I-129F in February, but even if that came into play I don't know how it would have been processed already. So... apparently they're getting to some October cases!?

 

PD: Oct 22, 2019

Service Center: Vermont (IOE number "transferred" from Nebraska on Feb 24, 2020)
Approval: March 31, 2020

154 days!

 

Fingers crossed for all of you that you're next!

 

Oooo

I am the in the same spot as you and it looks like mine may have gotten moved there too. Crossing my fingers. When I log in the date it shows kept moving forward as time went on so I guess its because it was transferred and now they are looking at it? Not sure but it updated multiple times these last few months.

Hi All,

 

Is this considered an  update? I checked the status last week and it had a different date (something like March 13, 2020).

You should double check by calling or asking on LiveChat to see if your case has been transferred. The same thing happened to us and it turns out we were transferred from Nebraska to Texas (yay!).
