I received the NOA2 Approval Notice last week. This was faster than I expected for my December application (they told me 8 months on the phone),so I'm very happy that things are moving along!

I just want to confirm; over the next one to two months the case will be forwarded to my service center, then the US embassy in Japan, and then my fiance will be notified about how to proceed, right?

The process flowchart on this site states that now is a good time to begin research for the procedures required by the embassy. Does anyone know what we might expect from the US embassy in Sapporo, Japan?

Also, this form says that the approval notice is valid until 8/09/2013. Is this the deadline by which she needs to appear at the embassy with the required documents?

Thanks for your time!

It gets forwarded to the NVC, which then forwards it to the embassy.

Here's info regarding K1 visa for Japan:

http://www.ustraveldocs.com/jp/jp-niv-typek.asp

Start from step 3.

As it says there, yes, the date is by when you must apply for the visa (I'm not sure when they consider that you applied). If you need more time, you can contact the embassy to extend the petition for another 4 months.

Congratulations! :dance:
