It's been 11 days. Calm down.

And as you're from the Philippines I would probably expect you to be expedited, unlike every one else on here.

I believe the two year requirement is for at the time of filing the I-129f so you should be okay, you've got 3 months until it wouldn't be and I think you'll be approved before then.

Just make sure your evidence of an on going relationship is up to date and I'm sure you'll be fine.

We are a February filer. We just received NOA1 (email) today (March 3, 2015). I am a filipina working and residing in UAE, and I have read forums that fiance/es from the Philippines are expedited. I am just wondering if the expediting of the application is regardless the location of the Filipino? Or the beneficiary should be in the Philippines? Thanks guys. Good luck to everybody.

Yes, if your nationality is the Philippines, you'll be expedited even if you live somewhere else. That's been the case for at least most people in situations similar to yours here on VJ.
