Wow I'm a happy camper today. I filed for a I-129F on 02/28/2014. I received my NOA1 within 7 days. Here it is 25 days later, and I just received my approved NOA2 today. No REFS or anything. I can't believe how FAST I received my NOA2. I prepared my fiancé in the Philippines for a 5 month wait. Her pretty, little face is going to light up this morning when she reads this. Good luck, and blessings to all.

You stock up on your favorite booze, get a whole bunch of movies, find a new hobby and possibly start your own crime syndicate. Basically, anything to pass the time because after the NOA1 the wait of 1 day - 5 months happens. :P

My fiancé in the Philippines is getting all her paperwork in order for the next step. As for the prep work for my initial K-1 visa, I just made sure I submitted everything requested, and a little extra as well. I went to different websites to get suggestions on what to submit. I also viewed videos on youtube, and gained a lot of insight on what others were submitting. I prepared my K-1 so whomever touched it would know that the relationship was genuine, that I could support her financially, that our marriage intent was mutual, and included a few other items as well. I sent in recent paystubs, and copies of my tax returns for the past 3 years. I also had my employer draw up a letter on company stationary stating: my income, my character, my work ethics, my job was a permanent one, and how long I have been employed by him. I submitted receipts for hotel stays, airline tickets, grocery shopping,clothes purchases, etc. I also submitted pictures of my fiancé and I visiting her family, and pictures of us in the Philippines around town on my recent trip to the Philippines (Dec 2013). I submitted a letter expressing my intent to marry my fiancé once she came to the U.S., and briefly touched on my feelings towards her, and my fiancé submitted a letter as well, in the K-1 visa process, expressing her intent and her feelings towards myself. I had my fiancé mail me her letter of intent to marry, and the other standard forms she was suppose to submit, and submitted the originals in her hand writing, and signed by her as well. I crossed all T's and dotted all I's. I made sure nothing was missing, and must have checked all paperwork for accuracy a dozen times. I wanted to convey, for whomever opened up my file, that I was well prepared, and it was executed professionally. As far as having "big money in my account," I stated that I had about $2K in a savings account, LOL. As far as "big salary" goes, no it doesn't apply to me. I stated that I average about $46K per year. I hope that info helps you. Good luck to you.
