Hey! I sent my I-129F packet on October 5th. The next day they received the package. On October 28th it was approved! I could not believe it. I called my fiance and he thought I was lying lol. I totally was not expecting for it to go that fast. Now I am searching online for my next steps. Any advise, tips, websites, videos, etc... that may help me through this process (and calm my nerves lol) will be greatly appreciated!

No, you didn't. You receive the NOA-1 by mail, and you receive notification of NOA-1 by email. Two different things.

Similar timeline for me! I got NOA1 on October 11, and when I logged onto myUSCIS - Case Status, it said my I-129F application was approved on October 31st! Maybe they're approving as many as possib

22 Days...Typo while texting lol I promise I'm not dumb.. My bad.

But, tell me if I am saying something wrong (I'm new to this). So, by email and text message I was told that my case was received. This is NOA1, correct?. A few days later I received the same measage/info in the mail, still NOA1, correct? In that email/letter, there was a number starting with "WAC." I used that number (several times) to check my case status on the USCIS website. On OCT 28th I used that number on the USCIS website and there was a message saying, "my case was approved," NOA2 correct? NOW, I am waiting to receive that in the mail so I can proceed with the process.

Sent the package on October 5, 2016 (priority mail)

It was received on October 6, 2016

According to USCIS site, October 28, 2016 case was approved

OCTOBER 6TH -> OCTOBER 28 =22 DAYS not 12, my bad ?

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

Okay, the 22 days makes much more sense. Still super fast considering current wait times but definitely more in the realm of possibility!

Congrats!

I have ever known a couple, they took their approved by more than 1 month, it is really great. And You currently go ahead! That is really fast and made me so surprised!
