I know, I know, there are surely steps to follow that were already answered but I still want to post this. :D I registered my email not my fiance's when I signed up in USCIS

so I got the email first that it was sent to him today :D

On January 31, 2011, 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 at 1-800-375-5283.

:D They got our application on Aug 31 so it's exactly 5 months :D Good luck to everyone who are still waiting! :D Now what's next?

Congratulations!

Here's the VJ FlowChart for the K1.

http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1flow

From NOA-2, the package is sent to NVC. You can call them (1-2 weeks) to inquire about your petition and receive your case number. At this time, the petitioner should start the I-134 affidavit of support.

After the NVC is finished doing their thing, they send it to the consulate (embassy). The embassy then sends a check list to the fiancee, which needs to filled out and returned.

Then... the fiancee will get a medical exam and police certificate. This is followed by an interview date. It's at the interview that the actual visa will be granted or denied.

This is from what I've read on the guides and FAQs. If I'm wrong... please somebody correct me.
