So I am really happy today. Received my NOA2. I am very surprised though. Its been less than a month since I initially sent out my 1-130 package. Does it usually get approved this fast? It's supposedly on it's way to the NVC. Is it good news that it went by so fast? I've noticed many get there NOA2 months after their first one. Just if anyone has any insight on this. Thank you!!

Many applications from Phillipines have history of getting approved quickly. You should start preparing documents for AOS(Affidavit of support) such as tax return transcripts and letter from employer etc right now. Call NVC every 1 week to get your # and then you can pay the AOS fee and send the AOS packet.

Be on top of it and you probably have all the ####### done in about 4 months. Congratulations and good luck to you!!
