I guess they're working on IOE in NVC now. I just got my case number and invoice ID number today!

Hope you guys get it as well.
 

Congrats. How long did you have to wait after you received your approval?

IOE cases are part of a pilot process- an electronic process they are testing out on certain people/cases. Not everybody will be part of this, but as something they are testing out, I'm sure that is their ultimate goal for the future. Also, as we have learned the hard way, just because they assign these IOE cases does not mean they are able to support it. This seems to be something started by USCIS without fully including the NVC - hence the huge delay in many of our cases. Based on new information, we are assuming that NVC is now able to process these cases; however it is still not as efficient.

 

*I could have physically walked my case from the Nebraska Service Center to the NVC in New Hampshire and back multiple times in the time it took them to electronically transfer my case. 

Hello. I have a quick question if you dont mind answering. 

When I received the email from nvc it stated that I benefited from the pilot electronic process etc... and said that it may take longer than 30 days for the transfer to nvc but they stated "Despite this delay, please rest assured that we expect the overall time between filing your petition and completing processing with NVC will be far faster than average for this petition type."  

From my interpretation they are saying that although it will take longer to transfer our case to nvc,  the petition will be processed far faster at nvc than non pilot petitions. Is this the case with your petition? Can you give us any updates on your nvc stage processing? 

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone 

We filed our case in March of 2019 and got approved June of 2019.  Our case is a pilot electronic process and our case number starts with IOE.

It's been over 7 months since our case was approved and NVC has not received the case. I've called uscis and nvc for explanation and they simply say I have to wait for the case to be sent to nvc.  I've gotten my congressman to assist but hasnt been of any help thus far. Are there others who are on the same boat as I am ?

Nearly 8 months and our case hasnt been sent to nvc. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Great. I will look into getting ombudsman to assist. Thank you.

It’s sad , our petition  also start with IOE....have you called USCIS and what they said ?? 

I've called uscis several times they said that our case has been approved and that it's in line to be sent to NVC.  

But this monday I'm planning on calling them again and I will ask to speak to a tier 2 representative. Tier 2 is usually more helpful in assisting is what I've heard. 

I've also asked my congressman to help speed up our case. I'll have to touch base with him again.

I assume you’ve called them? (NVC/USCIS) to see where it is?

 

Not saying you’ve made a mistake, but 3 months seems very fast for i130.. are you sure it was approved and not noa1? USC/LPR May be a reason? 

Yes it was actually approved quick in just 3 months. I've called NVC numerous times they keep on repeating the same thing that they have not recieved it and that they dont know where it's at. I've called uscis and they say it's in line to be sent to NVC. But its been over 7 months you would think it would be at NVC by now.  I've gotten ahold of my congressman to assist and that hasnt resulted in any help as of yet.  

Hello everyone

I think the pilot electronic process(cases with receipt number starting with IOE...) is a new system uscis is using. They are starting to transfer the whole immigration process from paper to digital. Due to the system being so new it's taking uscis a long time to transfer the cases from uscis to nvc.

We got approved in June of 2019. It's been more than 7 months and NVC still hasnt received our case. We hope it will arrive soon!
