hi, i would like to ask for a clarification regarding a mailed letter received by my fiance this week; a copy f which was also sent on his email last Friday. The letter read:

"...

The status of this service request is:

Your request for expeditious processing has been approved.

Upon receipt of your request for expeditious handling, this matter was reviewed and a determination was made that it met the criteria for special handling.

The petition is being reviewed and you should be receiving notification from this office very shortly.

If you have any further questions, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283."

Were we approved of an expedited processing of the application of i-129F,and that we may expect NOA2 soon? or is it for the whole process including NVC and consulate stages? What are the documents that we shall prepare for the next step? how long should the approximate lead time be before the realization of our dreams? :blush:

Thanks very much for the inputs :thumbs:

hello sjr! thank u for ur reply :) i may have raised my query vaguely and made myself misunderstood, however. I meant to ask whether the approved expedited request extended until the NVC and consulate stages, pls; or is it simply that the wait time for a NOA2 had been cut shorter? What documents shall we prepare for the next step -- proof of income? evidences of ongoing relationship, etc? Shall i gather NBI, police clearances now? Would anyone have an idea what to expect from here? Will I be seeing the sweet K1 visa stamped on my passport soon? :blush:

Could anyone help me pls? thanks again, and hoping for everyone's smooth journey.

I just went through the same think. In our case, the process was expedited through NVC (it was received, approved and sent within a couple of days). Right now, we are waiting for our packet 4 from the embassy. I cannot tell you weather your embassy will expedite. Every embassy is different. My embassy in Bangkok asks (in their website) that we contact them if we think we meet the expedite criteria again, which we did. In addition, we sent my military orders. Hopefully, we will receive our packet 4 this week. I would start gathering all of the other documents now (income, evidence of relationship, police report, medical, etc...). Look at my timeline and you judge.

Congratulations on you NOA2. You should receive your email in a couple of days saying that the I-129F was proccessed.:dance:
