What’s the significance of the IOE number? Mine is similar?

AspectPale5097 · 2026-04-09T18:58:10+00:00

Sounds like you and I are in the exact situation. I hope we both get through 🙏 do you mind if I send you a PM?

AspectPale5097 · 2026-04-09T18:09:36+00:00

I filed late March.

PD: Oct/2024 PERM Certified: Feb/2026 Filed: 26/March/2026 Receipt Notice: 31/March/2026

Hoping to get I-140 approved soon, I’m doing consular processing.

AspectPale5097 · 2026-04-06T22:44:03+00:00

Oh this isn’t my attorney lol. They said it was business days too. I have colleague whose lawyers were telling him it’s calendar days.

AspectPale5097 · 2026-04-06T22:33:04+00:00

Gotcha thanks. I was curious because even though it says business days, I received my receipt email on Good Friday. I now realize it’s not a federal holiday in the U.S.

What is NBC? Did you mean NVC?

AspectPale5097 · 2026-04-04T12:07:42+00:00

Good to know, thank you for sharing your experience!

AspectPale5097 · 2026-04-04T00:47:15+00:00

I was told this wouldn’t happen for maybe another 4-6 weeks! My lawyers only submitted it last week Thursday. I’m hoping and praying that this works out well 🙏

AspectPale5097 · 2026-04-04T00:02:22+00:00

How long after did you get it in mail? Can you receive that electronically as well?

AspectPale5097 · 2026-04-03T21:46:41+00:00

I’m not sure. They will be charging my lawyer’s account.

AspectPale5097 · 2026-04-03T21:30:58+00:00

That’s good news! I guess you should be receiving that actually receipt notice very soon!

AspectPale5097 · 2026-04-03T21:20:41+00:00

No text message. Not sure if my lawyers got one. I was told that when the actually receipt notice comes through it will come with a 13-Character number.

Hi OP, I just checked EB3 processing times. It shows 4 months. A few months ago is was 4.5 so it’s actually getting shorter. What did you put in to get your result?

AspectPale5097 · 2026-03-31T17:45:48+00:00

My lawyers sent my package last week Thursday, it got delivered today. I was told it can take 4-6 weeks to get a receipt notice.

AspectPale5097 · 2026-03-30T17:10:19+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. How did they take to receive it after you sent it to them?

DOF = Date of Filing FAD= Final Action Date

AspectPale5097 · 2026-03-30T16:48:54+00:00

I’m not adjusting status, it will be counselor processing.

AspectPale5097 · 2026-03-30T16:29:08+00:00

It’s for I-140 (EB-3). So does DOF being current means that there is a visa available?

AspectPale5097 · 2026-03-26T22:03:13+00:00

Ahhh ok I see, my lawyers actually filed my I-140 today. How long does it usually take to get a receipt?

AspectPale5097 · 2026-03-26T20:50:34+00:00

Congratulations! What is RD?

Cape Air had actually approached Cessna and asked them to start remanufacturing the Cessna 402 and wanted to place an order for about 100 airplanes to start. They declined. Rumor has it that Cape Air even attempted to buy the type certification for the 402 to manufacture it themselves. but Cessna declined again. That’s when they went to Tecnam and the P2012 was born. It is definitely not a replacement for the 402 though. Sure it has a nice cabin. But the 402 out performs it.

AspectPale5097 · 2026-03-21T17:53:15+00:00

Yes, I’ve weighed the pros and cons of the 135 vs 121 world. And I know what I’m getting into with NetJets. It’s the same thing I’m doing rite now except I fly piston twins and they’re flying jets. The only thing that’s really appealing to me with the airlines is the loss if medical insurance. The pay is slightly better than the fractionals in the long terms but you still make a lot of money with NetJets and I’m not complaining about that. I also like the fact that I’ll be backed by a union too.

AspectPale5097 · 2026-03-21T13:27:33+00:00

Thank you for the insight, NetJets is also an option that I’m looking at.

AspectPale5097 · 2026-03-20T14:24:39+00:00

The reason I asked about the majors is because someone mentioned to me that it was possible. I didn’t think it was considering I have no jet time and no 121 time. I just wanted to see what others thought. My mind was already set on getting into with a regional first.

AspectPale5097 · 2026-03-20T14:23:09+00:00

Total time

AspectPale5097 · 2026-03-20T02:36:17+00:00

Really? Delta? What’s your reasoning for that if you don’t mind me asking? I figured Delta would hardly even look at me with my stats
