My fiancé received her packet 3 from the embassy in Tokyo about 2 weeks after status changed to ready. Everything you need to do next is in that packet. Instructions come in Japanese and English. As for the letter from NVC, you've already got the case number and that's all you really need. It was nearly a month from the time I got the case number over the phone until I finally got the letter. Good luck!

The wait is over! Almost... I know we still got a long way to go somewhat but our case was approved today! NOA-2 Received.
Thanks everyone for the kind support and help along the way!!!

From 10/16/2014 to 2/18/2015 is four months, not five. And it doesn't say anything about your chance of getting an RFE. Be prepared for at least a couple more months of waiting for your NOA2, unfortunately.

Unfortunately it doesnt mean your chances of an RFE are lower. It just means they haven't touched your case yet. sorry, but hang in there! good luck and maybe you'll be an anomaly with an earlier approval.

No I don't think that's a large age difference in my opinion. There are many couples here with very large age differences 10-20+ years.

Hi!
Im 24 and my USC husband is 33. I don't think there will be a problem. I see in your case you are the younger one but still I don't think is a crazy age difference.
Lots of couples here and everywhere have age difference, and even bigger differences! Don't worry about it also Asian genes are really good so soon you may look older than her haha just a joke

Hi Everyone! I've been combing through VJ for the last month as my boyfriend (from the UK) and I decided to get married on his November visit to me and we now have the pleasure of going through the K-1 visa process. Extremely glad to have found this site as I was originally planning on blowing my savings on a lawyer...but no longer!
Anyway, I'm assembling the I-129F packet and here is what I am including (in the order I currently have it):
- G-1145
- Cover Letter
- Personal check (think it's $340)
- I-129F form
- I-129F question 18 supplement (there just wasn't enough space!)
- G-325A and passport photo in plastic bag (Petitioner/Me)
- G-325A and passport photo in plastic bag (Beneficiary)
- My US birth certificate copied front and back
- Letters certifying intent to marry (Both of ours)
- Proof of having met/ongoing relationship in the following forms
1. Airline tickets for my trips to UK (and one set of baggage tags)
2. Copies of passport stamps and UK student visa (mine)
3. Airline tickets for fiance's trips to US
4. Copies of his passport stamps
5. Photos (12 in total) from first trip together in 2010 through recent visit in Nov 2012
6. Affidavits (two) notarized by myself and my fiance detailing our relationship
7. Affidavits (two) notarized by each of our mother's as witnesses to relationship
8. Emails back an forth (approx. 1 conversation for each month for the last two years)
9. Text history excerpts from 2010 until now
10. FaceTime screenshots of video chatting
11. Facebook screenshots of relationship status/interactions
Now for my questions!
1. Do you think, from your experience, this is enough/an accurate packet?
2. How should I include the photos? I couldn't find any photo pages (tried a Staples, Rite Aid and CVS) so right now each "visit" is in its own plastic baggie and labeled.
3. Can I double hole punch at the top and put the fastener in? Or do I just fasten it with a clip?
Sorry for the length - I just tend to get extremely detail-oriented with these sorts of things and this time it's extremely important to me!
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer

1. You can send it however you want, just refrain from using staples. Most people simply paper-clip the documents together in sections and then use metal binder clips to hold it all together, but as long as it's easy for them to navigate/separate/understand, you will be ok.
2. USPS is the most sensible choice for this (but again, doesn't really matteR). "Registered" is quite pricey and unnecessary. Delivery confirmation is a "must," and do the hardcopy delivery confirmation, not the new option where they can email you. When you get the confirmation slip, hold onto it, just in case you need it later. I believe insurance is automatically included when you ship with delivery confirmation, but am not sure.
If these are the most pressing questions you have about your I-129f petition, you are in good shape.

You will fill out the MO as you would do in any case YOUR name and info. and To the payee make sure you don't abbreviate U.S.D.O.HS, So make MO payable to U.S Department Of Homeland Security. The fee amount is $340.00.
Depending on your delivery method you will mail out you I-129F to
