Hi! and Congratulations!!
Can I be curious and ask you what center you used and how long did it
take for you to receive NOA 1. I recently sent my I-129f application
on Sept. 10. I'm anxiously waiting for that number so that I can
check the status online.
Regards,
Doreen

For those who have just applied,
Go to http://www.davehollis.com/ and click on to the K1 timeline, you can see others who have applied and what dates they received their NOA's and interviews. It's really a good site.
You can also post your info so others can see it.....

We filed at Vermont in May 19th (actually this is the date that they received the application). Notification of acceptance to my fiancee was in June and on 8th July I received Pack 3 from the US Embassy in London. There are forms to send right away and then you notify the Embassy that you've collected all the stuff that they require - the longest being the Police Certificate (usually) - but mine was the MOC which I got on 4th August, I think. I then let the Embassy know that I had all documents. On 30th August I received notification of interview on 15th September.
So Vermont and London are mega-efficient. Indeed the London Embassy instigated the process earlier than expected. So 4 months end to end which is at the short end of the web-quoted 4 - 8 months.
Good luck. I'm sure it'll be OK.
One thing that I did note was that the on-line search for progress after the NOA by entering my case number gave the frightening response that there was no record of that number!
