Fingers crossed for you.  I'm at Texas, with PD 7/22/19 - and no movement 😕 they just stopped working.  So stressing!

I haven’t heard anything from Nebraska 😕 PD July 17th, last update was on Sept 7th 😕 K3 PD Aug 6th.

I’ve just seen someone post about this on a fb group and put in a copy of an email... it’s good news for the ones that are following us.... I hope that us in the middle of filing by paper and it being scanned by uscis will have any detrimental impact 

I got a notification on the app today, my thoughts are that we with IOE cases might still be part or the “pilot program” and get approved soon.

Hoping this ends soon. Glad to see some movement. We are in Potomac , July 2019. I want this to wait to come to an end , seeing how long an interview in Guyana is taking is giving me so much anxiety. Wait times for an interview surpassing 12 months for CITIZENS!! Ugh!! This is going to take almost 2 years or more for us!! 

Same here, our Pd is July 18th and Aug 6th for K3. But we are stuck in Nebraska  my husband is a citizen and I’m in Mexico, waiting for the interview will take also 12 months or more, so it will take around 2 years for us too. It’s so frustrating. Interviews waiting time for residents petitions are no longer than 2 months now in Mexico because their approval takes “longer” than for citizens. My process will be as long as if my husband was a resident.

Received my NOA2!  PD was 7/08/2019.  

Congratulations! That’s really fast! What’s your service center?

Did you file the K3? We are also July I-130 filers with IOE receipt assigned to Nebraska and my husband posted our I-129f on Thursday so we shall see if that helps. At the end of the day it's free to file and no one knows if having the IOE receipt number is going to make a difference yet still. 

Yes! 130 Pd July 18th, IOE case, 129f Pd Aug 7th LIN case, hope it helps with the approval.

Oh yes please keep me posted. I thought it was like 400 ? 

The form I-129f is also for the K1 visa (fiancé) that one has a fee, I believe $535 too. But if you’re filing it for your spouse (K3) it’s the same form but without a fee because you already paid for I-130.

I read somewhere that everyone who uses the new form will get an IOE #. Not sure if that’s correct or not, but kinda makes sense. I just hope it goes faster with IOE, it’s really not fair to be separated from your spouse for a year or more. I was thinking about filing a K3, anyone have any thoughts about that ? Thanks 

I think it’s worth the try, it has no fee and it is really easy to file it. We did it today, I’ll keep you posted.

SENT I-129F : 7/22/19

RECIEVE DATE: 7/24/19

TEXT: 7/29/19

Letter: 8/1/2019

WAC #: Apparently not good

Service Center: California. Also, apparently not a good thing?

Is it for K1 or K3 visa? I filled I-130 PD July 18, 2019, IOE case, Nebraska Center. I just sent I-129F today for K3 visa, I’ll be posting updates as soon as I have them.

Is  IOE number the one used to check case status?  

Yes, it is the case number, but lately most of them (maybe all of them) starts with IOE regardless the service center. 

Hello! My husband is a USC and has sent the petition for me I’m Mexican, he sent the I-130 form this July 16th and we received today the NOA1 by text message, we also have a IOE case number, I downloaded the visa tracker app and shows the California Center, we will wait for the NOA1 in the mail to confirm it. All I’ve been reading about it is that apparently it’s faster but we will see. Glad to join this thread.
