I'm American and my fiance is Romanian. We're living together in Romania and want to move to the States. We did the research, put together a i-129F petition, and sent it from Romania to the USCIS office in Texas on July 31, 2013 via DHL. 28 days later, on August 27th, I checked the USCIS site out of boredom and saw this:

Post Decision Activity
On August 27, 2013, 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.

We're blown away. We were expecting this to take 3-5 months. Anyone else having these kinds of results?

(I joined Visa Journey specifically to post this!)

Thanks! Yes, I received my NOA1 hardcopy 8 days after receiving the g-1145 email. It was dated August 6th, so it was sent out 2 days before my email was sent. I was concerned that the USCIS would have trouble sending notifications internationally. I didn't include postage for it or a pre-stamped envelope (like a few sites have suggested). Looks like it's not a big deal.

I'm hoping to receive my NOA2 in about the same amount of time.

First congrats. Curious though. You did recieve your noa1 hardcopy ok?
