It may indeed make a difference to send them so far apart. Unfortunately, only time will tell what that difference will be, because USCIS are not able to follow a set procedure 4 things could possibly happen:-

1) The service centre could approve both together and forward the I129F to the NVC (this is the "ideal world" scenario, based on USCIS being able to pair your two petitions together before an approval). Generally they are approving paired-petitions based on the I129F date, so there could be a delay in your approval.

2) The service centre could approve the I130 but, hold it for a couple of months while waiting for the I129Fs approval (as with VJer YGandMAT - I have not heard of another VJer experiencing one being "held" while awaiting an approval for the other)

3) The service centre could cancel the I129F because the I130 is approved first (as with VJer Divine Mercy), this will lock you into the CR1/IR1 visa route. An I129F must have an unapproved I130 in the system to be valid.

4) The I130 could be approved many months before the I129F and the I129F could still be approved anyway, in which case you would have "both horses in the race" (as with VJer Davejaz42107)

I hope this is helpful and doesn't seem too daunting.
