I arrived in Australia to visit my fiancé for Christmas on the 23rd and just got around to connecting to wifi to check my email today and was approved for my i-129f on the 23rd! I couldn't be happier. Best Christmas ever :) I hope everyone is having a nice holiday season and wish everyone luck!

Any tips/pointers on the next steps? I'll be back in the states on the 4th.

Congrats on the NOA2!!!!

Not too sure on the next steps for K1 since I did CR1 - but I would suggest your fiance starts looking at getting the medical and police check done if you haven't already done so. The police check can take a few weeks to get back - they told me 10 days for NSW - and it ended up taking 25 days! Sydney moves pretty quickly in terms of assigning interviews - so you want to have everything ready to go as soon as they get your case.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday season in Australia - guess you didn't have any trouble getting in!!
