VERY good ,, yes it says " "The I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiance(e) has been received by our office for the following... etc.".

So two questions:

1) I will be in the Philippines soon (so not receiving US postal mail)... how will I know when the NOA2 arrives?

2) and in line with the above question, do we get any kind of "account" with immigration that allows us to track where things stand?

Do not rely only on online updates, but you can check the status using the receipt number you got on letter at uscis.gov (it's explained on your receipt notice)

The noa2, the approval notice, will take a while to get to you, even if you have no rfes, you're good for now

I actually didn't explain well.

I'll be in the PH until my fiance finishes with her interview... So I will be there when the NOA2 arrives.

What if you get a rfe? Is there someone checking your mail for you while you're gone? I don't believe the Manila embassy cares much, but be careful staying too long there may make it difficult for you to prove domicile in the USA, if asked

What is an rfe?

yes, parents will be checking mail, but mail gets lost... isn't there a way to check this online?

I thought we are supposed to get an account of some kind with immigration that tracks everything.
