I can't believe it! I thought I was being so impatient....I received my NOA2 on 26 September (hard copy) and thought it would be weeks before I heard from the NVC about her visa. So this morning before I went to work, I emailed them asking if they had received my I-129F from Vermont. So I go check my mail a few minutes ago and there is a letter from them......stating that in one week the Embassey in Manila will receive my package and that my case was approved!!!! The letter was dated 2 October! Wow that was fast! I just wish I knew if she would be here before Christmas or not, but more importantly if her interview will occur before Christmas, as I am just about ready to buy a plane ticket there to spend Christmas with her. Wow, wow, wow!!! I read this forum 2-3 times a day, and I just want to say that my heart goes out to all of you that are still waiting.....I know it will happen! Take care all and God Bless! Stacy

Remember: "No matter how bad things SEEM to be, it could ALWAYS BE WORSE!"

Congratulations! That's fast!

P.S. NVC doesn't deal with K-1 visas and they don't approve K-1 cases. They get the cases from the service centers, run security checks, assign a new case number and forward them to the embassy. Your fiance will have her visa after the interview (hopefully).

I only offer advice - not even legal. Just the plain and simple kind.
