I’m in an IR5 petitions group on Facebook and received some feedback about IOE receipts. Seems like nowadays it’s just as the same pace as the non-IOEs. I was assigned to TX SC though and I heard they move faster. Good luck to us!

Yes, I read that too, but as well this timelines may change anytime. Who knows it’s the government. We may have to wait a couple months 😁. I am trying to research on what’s next, so I am ready to submit everything right away. I heard Nebraska is slow too. But I am commanding the universe to hurry😁! Fingers crossed!. I ll keep you updated.

Hello! Thanks for starting this thread. I am filing I-130 for my parents too. My priority date is 10/17. Good luck to all of us!

Hello Kate. My applications’ priority date was marked on 10/17. Since then I just received an USCIS letter about the online account access. My case numbers also start with IOE. Right now I am still waiting for the NOA1 and have no idea which center will process my case yet. It looks like I am receiving a letter from Texas Center today. Not sure what it is about though, hopefully my cases will be processed by Texas center, which seems to be pretty fast compared to some other centers.

HahnChi; Mmm! I received two emails on each application I sent and both advised the center where it was sent.

Kate,

They sent you emails? I only received text messages notifying that my applications had been received. I got the NOA1 in the mail today though, it will be Texas SC that handles my parents’ cases.

Wow thank you so much for linking me to this thread!!  for some reason when I googled October 2019 parents i-130, the July thread was the first one to pop up. Copying my post from there onto here   I would also recommend adding your dates to the spreadsheet they created, hopefully we can compile tons of people's to get a better estimate on the timeline

Hiya kind friends, looks like we are joining this journey too, my husband mailed in the I-130s for his parents. Technically not July filers obviously but I haven't seen any threads for parents filers made after this one, so figured I'd post our updates here 🤷‍♀️

 

Filed Oct 24 at the Phoenix service center (we live in AZ now)

NOA1 received today Nov 6, dated Oct 31

IOE number

We got the Texas service center, kinda bummed as I was hoping we'd get Potomac since it seems to be the fastest but, hey 

 

added our info to the spreadsheet previously created https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nU4Zo8vr3hXopqrh8YRzbwbdCHEruihBOfqCDI5Y8Og/edit#gid=0

Wow that's so annoying! Same thing happened when my husband filed his N-400; like 2 weeks later they made online filing available.
