Hi,

I did some analysis of approval data and please take a look at the attachment.

It looks like, approvals are based on I-129F NOA1 date and not I130 NOA1 dates. You can see that when approval date is increasing, I-129F NOA1 dates are increasing orderly fashion even though I-130 dates are all over the map.

However, gogo, iray and me are stuck in the middle and June approvals are coming too.

Hey Gogo,

What fax did you send them? The received date for my case is 24 April for my I-130 but I noticed that on the 30-31October and 1 November my I-129F was touched and then my I-130. They havent touched any case since then so Im kind of curious to know why it has not been approved. Im dying to know what the hold up is but every time I call they say I have to wait 30 days after the 6 month mark to even inquire. Ive noticed other members have been approved. But I hope all goes well for you and all.

Best of luck gogo.

I agree that its all based on I129F NOA1 date. I129F NOA1 dates matching or within 1 day of mine were approved along with mine, but I130 NOA1 dates near mine were not necessarily approved yet from anecdotal reviews of VJ and non-VJ cases. Also, it lends credence to the theory that if we only file I130s, we would have been approved sooner (again anecdotally this does happen), and our apps are held up by having filed the I129F.
