There isn't really much you can do.

You can start taking a look at form I-134 as that will need filling out at some point.

You could also check to see what vaccinations (if any) you require.

Some people say you can get the police certificate while waiting, but I believe it's best to do that once you receive NOA2.

So apart from waiting.. there isn't much you can do.

Read up on Adjustment of Status (search it here), so you'll know what comes next, after you marry in the U.S.

Read up on the next stages: what happens after the NOA2 (what will be needed for the interview etc), what happens during AOS and what should you guys do and apply for once your fiance is in the states. After that you should try not to obsess about the process if it takes longer than you first expected because trust me, you'll go insane.

To the Phillipine beneficary, check out the city and state you will live in

see if there are support groups for Phillipine immigrants as getting informaiton from them helps a lot

Join them after you come

right now take a class if you can for advancing your career or life here

spend quality time with your family even just talking to them as you will be missed a lot

And WAIT / it is hard to do but we have all been there/ done that

Stay busy. Stay positive. Read posts in your country portal to learn more about this process and how to handle things that may come up with your specific consulate. Reading about others situations can give you insight to this process. Read the guides and flowchart of what is to come.

Enjoy talking and learning more about your fiance! Good Luck!

I too am at this stage :)

With the tax transcript, is that the same the entire lodgement for the return and the final notice of assessment?

We submitted the I-134 form with the initial K1 package - but we didn't submit any financial documentation. Are pay slips sufficient or do we need bank statements as well?? I assume we'll have to submit the I-134 again?

​I've practiced the DS-160 form ...

Is there anything else we can compile / gather while waiting?? :goofy:
