information everyone provided here. Thanks for all the helpers here! Good luck to you

Re: 1st and 2nd NOA
NOA=Notice of Action
When you send your I-129F (Petition for Fiance Visa) to the appropriate service center, they will send you a 1st NOA within (usually, this is the INS) 2 weeks or so. The 1st NOA just tells you they got your paperwork and gives you a receipt number. It will prolly also tell give you a rough guess as to how long you will have to wait (70-100 working days, in my case). Then you wait. Several months later, you will get your 2nd NOA, which will tell you (well, at least you hope so) that your petition was approved and sent on to the appropriate embassy for the rest of the process.

Re: 1st and 2nd NOA
After you file your initial petition (K1, K3, whatever) your receive your 1st NOA
(Notice of Action) when the INS officially opens your case. It will have a case
number. The 2nd NOA means approval and that your petition has been sent to the
consulate of your fiancee's country to continue the process there. Hope this helps
and that I've got it right. Learned what I know through this NG.
