Expedite Requested, Approved next day!

[Fordnut74 1]

On August 5, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). NOA1 to NOA2 = 51 days.

I think I may have to Frame those words. I can't believe it was approved, and so quickly!! I am in the Navy and stationed in the Horn of Africa where I met my Fiance while serving in Ethiopia. Time has come for me to go home after a year here, so I called to check the status of our I-129F, and at the same time did an Expedite request citing that I am military and will be sent home in less then 2 weeks. Next day it was approved!! I am SOOOO excited!!. There is a lot more to this story that is not appropriate to post here that makes the taste of those words even sweeter.

I have not posted much, but have read a LOT. I can't thank everyone here enough for your help, guides, resources and everything. Without VJ I am positive the application process would not have gone near as smoothly. Now for the big challenge- The Consulate and Visa.

I have read the guides, but what is next? A few questions-

1. I see interview dates that are 1 month from NOA2, and some that are 5 months after NOA2. Why such a big difference?

2. Original Paperwork to fiance? I have sent electronic copies of all the forms and letters(letter of intent, how we met, etc) but what else should I send? My birth certificate? Divorce Paper?

3. What is in the package that they send to the US citizen? Is there any action I need to take? I will be here another 12 days, then processing in US away from home for another couple weeks.

I am sure I will have more, but right now I am too happy to think much.
