Hello to all,
I filed in January and got my NOA1 on January 22nd. So I kept looking at the processing dates and timelines and was planning on the service center in California to first touch this around the beginning of June.
Well, May 27th my petition for the K-1 visa was approved. Wow! What happened and why was it so fast? I guess the next step after approval is that it is off to the embassay in Manila now.
I got no notices through email that my petition was even being touched or anything. It went from pending to approved. Does that happen a lot?
Here is a snipet of the email I got: Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) Current Status: Approval notice sent. On May 27, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.
Am I dreaming? Or is this true that the NOA2 is being mailed? I just am so shocked, surprised, and excited.

A HUGE congrats to you! Things will move quite quickly from now on.
A small request I would have of you would be to fill out your timeline. Having your info is super helpful for others who filed around the same time as you (people like me!) to get an idea of what to expect.
Congrats again!!

It is the weirdest sensation when you see that message. I logged out twice just be sure. Came back later that day and looked again. Good luck on the fast track, sometimes you might be ahead of the pack, others you slip behind. We were 5 months and 2 weeks to NOA2 - However the case was forwarded to the Consulate in a week - many wait the 4 - 6 weeks for that step (Not wishing you bad luck or anything)
That was fast!!! But you deserve it!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!

It's always a surprise for me when this doesn't happen. A few years ago, when we went through, this was the norm.

I have to say, I followed the step by step instructions posted on this site and they were perfect. I did the cover letter and I even put post-it tabs on all pages. I hope by getting this early approval is because of my work and the guidance of this website. I thank the day I ever found this site.
I am still in shock here even after 12 hrs. I am so happy everything is finally moving forward. I will post everything else that happens in the upcoming months.
