Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.
Average annual total returns take Fidelity® Advisor Value - Class T cumulative total return and show you what would have happened if Fidelity Advisor Value - Class T shares had performed at a constant rate each year. These numbers will be reported once the fund is a year old.
$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Value - Class T on December 23, 2003, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Russell Midcap Value Index did over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Rich Fentin, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Value Fund
Stock market turbulence gave investors a bumpy ride during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2004, but nearly all of the popular equity performance measures landed safely in positive territory for the year. The period started well, as the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index (S&P 500®) reeled off four consecutive months of gains from November 2003 through February 2004. An improving domestic economy and better corporate profits were key contributors to the broad market rally. But equities mostly trended downward from there, as oil prices surged to more than $50 per barrel and the Federal Reserve Board enacted three interest rate hikes, raising the fed funds target rate from 1.00% to 1.75%. Meanwhile, job growth fell below expectations and investors seemed to adopt a wait-and-see mode regarding the outcome of the November presidential election. Despite all the obstacles, most equity benchmarks clung to their early gains. The S&P 500 returned 9.42%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 4.46% and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 2.68%.
From its inception on December 23, 2003, through October 31, 2004, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares were up 11.00%, 10.80%, 10.30% and 10.30%, respectively, lagging the 13.01% return of the Russell Midcap® Value Index. A significant overweighting in cyclical - meaning economically sensitive - stocks in the materials, energy and industrial sectors made the most significant contribution to the fund's performance, both on an absolute and relative basis. Good stock selection in each of these sectors also enhanced the fund's relative results. Among the fund's biggest contributors were energy services companies National-Oilwell, Baker Hughes and BJ Services, steel producer Nucor and aerospace parts maker Precision Castparts. The fund's performance relative to its index was hurt by a significant overweighting in technology stocks, which generally underperformed those in most other sectors. The biggest disappointments in technology were disk-drive makers Maxtor, Western Digital and Seagate Technology, as well as semiconductor company Agere Systems and contract electronics maker Flextronics International. Unfavorable security selection and an underweighting in relatively good-performing financials also held back the fund's return relative to its index.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Value Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the

course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends to net investment income per share is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Annual Report
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 1,148,884 |
Unrealized depreciation | (420,842) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 728,042 |
Undistributed ordinary income | 20,488 |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 1,249 |
| |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 14,383,593 |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $14,791,124 and $1,668,569, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of ..30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 2,605 | $ 1,340 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 8,300 | 2,601 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 12,460 | 10,663 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 9,847 | 8,511 |
| | | $ 33,212 | $ 23,115 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $302 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
| | |
Class A | 1.50% | $ 29,688 |
Class T | 1.75% | 42,601 |
Class B | 2.25% | 35,626 |
Class C | 2.25% | 28,288 |
Institutional Class | 1.25% | 19,687 |
| | $ 155,890 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $958 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $9.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average annual total returns take Fidelity® Advisor Value - Institutional Class cumulative total return and show you what would have happened if Fidelity Advisor Value - Institutional Class shares had performed at a constant rate each year. These numbers will be reported once the fund is a year old.
$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Value - Institutional Class on December 23, 2003. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Russell Midcap Value Index did over the same period.
Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Rich Fentin, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Value Fund
Stock market turbulence gave investors a bumpy ride during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2004, but nearly all of the popular equity performance measures landed safely in positive territory for the year. The period started well, as the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index (S&P 500®) reeled off four consecutive months of gains from November 2003 through February 2004. An improving domestic economy and better corporate profits were key contributors to the broad market rally. But equities mostly trended downward from there, as oil prices surged to more than $50 per barrel and the Federal Reserve Board enacted three interest rate hikes, raising the fed funds target rate from 1.00% to 1.75%. Meanwhile, job growth fell below expectations and investors seemed to adopt a wait-and-see mode regarding the outcome of the November presidential election. Despite all the obstacles, most equity benchmarks clung to their early gains. The S&P 500 returned 9.42%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 4.46% and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 2.68%.
From its inception on December 23, 2003, through October 31, 2004, the fund's Institutional Class shares were up 11.30%, lagging the 13.01% return of the Russell Midcap® Value Index. A significant overweighting in cyclical - meaning economically sensitive - stocks in the materials, energy and industrial sectors made the most significant contribution to the fund's performance, both on an absolute and relative basis. Good stock selection in each of these sectors also enhanced the fund's relative results. Among the fund's biggest contributors were energy services companies National-Oilwell, Baker Hughes and BJ Services, steel producer Nucor and aerospace parts maker Precision Castparts. The fund's performance relative to its index was hurt by a significant overweighting in technology stocks, which generally underperformed those in most other sectors. The biggest disappointments in technology were disk-drive makers Maxtor, Western Digital and Seagate Technology, as well as semiconductor company Agere Systems and contract electronics maker Flextronics International. Unfavorable security selection and an underweighting in relatively good-performing financials also held back the fund's return relative to its index.
The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

For the period ended October 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Value Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the
Annual Report

Security Valuation - continued
course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends to net investment income per share is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Annual Report
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 1,148,884 |
Unrealized depreciation | (420,842) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 728,042 |
Undistributed ordinary income | 20,488 |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 1,249 |
| |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 14,383,593 |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $14,791,124 and $1,668,569, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of ..30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 2,605 | $ 1,340 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 8,300 | 2,601 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 12,460 | 10,663 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 9,847 | 8,511 |

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Class A (incl. 4.75% sales charge) A | | 1.50% | 6.28% | 6.25% |
Class T (incl. 3.50% sales charge) | | 2.72% | 6.47% | 6.34% |
Class B (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) | | 0.70% | 6.20% | 6.23% |
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) B | | 4.65% | 6.42% | 5.91% |
A Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September 3, 1996. Returns prior to September 3, 1996 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee.
B Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November 3, 1997. Returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Class B shares and reflect Class B shares' 0.90% 12b-1 fee (1.00% prior to January 1, 1996). Had Class C shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns between November 3, 1997 and January 1, 1996 would have been lower. Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past five year and past 10 year total return figures are 1%, 0%, and 0%, respectively.

$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Municipal Income Fund - Class T on October 31, 1994, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index did over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Christine Thompson, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Municipal Income Fund
Shaking off a negative return through the first half of 2004, the municipal bond market was among the best performers of any asset class for the 12-month period ending October 31, 2004. In the second quarter of 2004, bonds lost ground as strong labor markets helped fuel inflation expectations, consequently driving longer-term interest rates higher. In the third quarter, however, record-high crude oil prices and slower-than-expected gross domestic product growth led investors to reassess the degree of expected inflation and, thus, the magnitude and length of the current tightening cycle by the Federal Reserve Board. During this time, intermediate- and long-term municipal-to-taxable yield ratios remained fairly high, allowing municipal bonds to maintain their attractive valuations relative to Treasuries. For the year overall, the Lehman Brothers® Municipal Bond Index - a performance measure of approximately 40,000 investment-grade, fixed-rate, tax-exempt bonds - rose 6.04%. That beat the taxable bond market's gain: The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returned 5.53% during the past 12 months.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2004, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 6.56%, 6.44%, 5.70% and 5.65%, respectively. During the same period, the LipperSM General Municipal Debt Funds Average returned 5.23% and the Lehman Brothers 3 Plus Year Municipal Bond Index gained 6.53%. Aiding the fund's outperformance of its Lipper peer group average was my approach to managing the fund's interest rate sensitivity. Performance was helped by avoiding positioning the fund to benefit from a specific interest rate outlook, a strategy that was particularly advantageous given the uncertainty surrounding the future level of interest rates. The fund's overweighting in lower-quality, investment-grade revenue bonds also helped versus the index, as they typically outperformed general obligation bonds, which are backed by more-cyclical tax revenues. Within the revenue sector, the fund's holdings in hospital and electric utility bonds worked in the fund's favor. Detracting from performance was an overweighting in callable bonds, which underperformed non-callable bonds as interest rates rose.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Years | 7.4 | 7.7 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.
D Effective November 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities. Per-share data and ratios for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change.
See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Municipal Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount and losses deferred due to futures transactions.
The fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of the issuer, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that the issuer does not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 40,164,020 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (983,069) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 39,180,951 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 2,008,241 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 5,051,492 | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 576,225,491 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| October 31, 2004 | October 31, 2003 |
Tax-exempt Income | $ 24,158,959 | $ 25,330,647 |
Ordinary Income | - | 96,841 |
Long-term Capital Gains | 1,087,792 | - |
Total | $ 25,246,751 | $ 25,427,488 |
Annual Report
2. Operating Policies.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $104,059,634 and $148,502,105, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .25% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .38% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |

Class C | .75% | .25% | 606,418 | 181,660 |
| | | $ 2,516,376 | $ 893,216 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 85,314 |
Class T | 24,951 |
Class B* | 288,914 |
Class C* | 17,124 |
| $ 416,303 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent and Accounting Fees. Citibank, N.A. (Citibank) is the custodian, transfer agent, and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. Citibank has entered into a sub-arrangement with Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, with respect to all classes of the fund to perform the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent functions. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $27,742 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Institutional Class A | | 6.75% | 7.49% | 6.92% |
A The initial offering of Institutional Class shares took place on July 3, 1995. Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to July 3, 1995 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Christine Thompson, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Municipal Income Fund
Shaking off a negative return through the first half of 2004, the municipal bond market was among the best performers of any asset class for the 12-month period ending October 31, 2004. In the second quarter of 2004, bonds lost ground as strong labor markets helped fuel inflation expectations, consequently driving longer-term interest rates higher. In the third quarter, however, record-high crude oil prices and slower-than-expected gross domestic product growth led investors to reassess the degree of expected inflation and, thus, the magnitude and length of the current tightening cycle by the Federal Reserve Board. During this time, intermediate- and long-term municipal-to-taxable yield ratios remained fairly high, allowing municipal bonds to maintain their attractive valuations relative to Treasuries. For the year overall, the Lehman Brothers® Municipal Bond Index - a performance measure of approximately 40,000 investment-grade, fixed-rate, tax-exempt bonds - rose 6.04%. That beat the taxable bond market's gain: The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returned 5.53% during the past 12 months.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2004, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 6.75%. During the same period, the LipperSM General Municipal Debt Funds Average returned 5.23% and the Lehman Brothers 3 Plus Year Municipal Bond Index gained 6.53%. Aiding the fund's outperformance of its Lipper peer group average was my approach to managing the fund's interest rate sensitivity. Performance was helped by avoiding positioning the fund to benefit from a specific interest rate outlook, a strategy that was particularly advantageous given the uncertainty surrounding the future level of interest rates. The fund's overweighting in lower-quality, investment-grade revenue bonds also helped versus the index, as they typically outperformed general obligation bonds, which are backed by more-cyclical tax revenues. Within the revenue sector, the fund's holdings in hospital and electric utility bonds worked in the fund's favor. Detracting from performance was an overweighting in callable bonds, which underperformed non-callable bonds as interest rates rose.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

For the period ended October 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Municipal Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount and losses deferred due to futures transactions.
The fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of the issuer, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that the issuer does not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 40,164,020 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (983,069) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 39,180,951 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 2,008,241 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 5,051,492 | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 576,225,491 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| October 31, 2004 | October 31, 2003 |
Tax-exempt Income | $ 24,158,959 | $ 25,330,647 |
Ordinary Income | - | 96,841 |
Long-term Capital Gains | 1,087,792 | - |
Total | $ 25,246,751 | $ 25,427,488 |
Annual Report
2. Operating Policies.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $104,059,634 and $148,502,105, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .25% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .38% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .15% | $ 141,973 | $ 404 |
Class T | 0% | .25% | 822,538 | 26,333 |
Class B | .65% | .25% | 945,447 | 684,819 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 606,418 | 181,660 |
| | | $ 2,516,376 | $ 893,216 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 85,314 |
Class T | 24,951 |
Class B* | 288,914 |
Class C* | 17,124 |
| $ 416,303 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent and Accounting Fees. Citibank, N.A. (Citibank) is the custodian, transfer agent, and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. Citibank has entered into a sub-arrangement with Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, with respect to all classes of the fund to perform the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent functions. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size

and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. All fees are paid to FIIOC by Citibank, which is reimbursed by each class for such payments. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, each class paid the following transfer agent fees:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |

Class C | 66,803 | .11 |
Institutional Class | 46,370 | .11 |
| $ 691,776 | |
Citibank also has a sub-arrangement with Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, under which FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $27,742 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Expense Reductions.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of four years.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Class A (incl. 3.75% sales charge) A | 0.66% | 6.30% | 6.19% |
Class T (incl. 2.75% sales charge) | 1.68% | 6.38% | 6.22% |
Class B (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) B | 0.75% | 6.42% | 6.29% |
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) C | 2.70% | 6.19% | 5.71% |
A Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September 3, 1996. Returns prior to September 3, 1996 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee.
B Class B shares bear a 0.90% 12b-1 fee (1.00% prior to January 1, 1996). Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past five year, and past 10 year total return figures are 3%, 0%, and 0%, respectively.
C Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November 3, 1997. Returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Class B and reflect Class B shares' 0.90% 12b-1 fee (1.00% prior to January 1, 1996). Had Class C shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns between November 3, 1997 and January 1, 1996 would have been lower.

$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund - Class T on October 31, 1994, and the current 2.75% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index did over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Kevin Grant, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund
U.S. investment-grade bonds posted solid returns for the year ending October 31, 2004. It was a volatile period for high-quality debt, which struggled late in 2003 with rising yields and concerns about higher inflation. The asset class bounced back in the first quarter of 2004, as weak economic data and heightened terrorism fears sparked a flight to safety into investment-grade bonds. But those gains were erased early in the second quarter when a strong employment report led many to believe the economy was heating up again and that the Federal Reserve Board would respond by hiking interest rates. While the Fed did raise rates three times before period end, bonds recovered well. For the 12 months overall, the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index rose 5.53%. Corporate bonds and mortgage securities fared best, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond and Mortgage-Backed Securities indexes rose 6.59% and 5.57%, respectively. Treasuries - the most interest-rate-sensitive bond category - had a 4.97% advance for the year, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2004, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares gained 4.58%, 4.56%, 3.75% and 3.70%, respectively, compared to 4.33% for the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index and 3.17% for the LipperSM Short-Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Average. The fund benefited most from its weighting in mortgage securities - a sector not represented in the index - and from security selection among BBB-rated corporate bonds. Looking back on the past 12 months, there really was no significant negative influence on the fund's results that I can point to. During 2004's second quarter, when rates rose, my focus on premium mortgage bonds helped the fund. As the price of the two-year Treasury was declining, the prices of many of the portfolio's mortgage securities were going up. In short, I was able to buy these bonds when they were very cheap, priced for the worst possible prepayment environment. When the market environment improved, they performed very well.
Note to shareholders: Ford O'Neil will become Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund on December 1, 2004.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Average Years to Maturity as of October 31, 2004 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 4.4 | 4.4 |
Average years to maturity is based on the average time remaining until principal payments are expected from each of the fund's bonds, weighted by dollar amount. |
Duration as of October 31, 2004 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 3.6 | 3.8 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended October 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of four years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, financing transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 37,000,482 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (4,624,205) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 32,376,277 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 6,002,189 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 15,523,461 | |

Total | $ 54,628,737 | $ 45,500,193 |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
2. Operating Policies - continued
Futures Contracts - continued
contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Swap Agreements. The fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.
Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange cash flows periodically based on a notional principal amount, for example, the exchange of fixed rate interest payments for floating rate interest payments. Periodic payments received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. The primary risk associated with interest rate swaps is that unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates could adversely impact the fund.
Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, the fund will make a payment to the counterparty. Periodic payments received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.
Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a "guarantor" receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the swap. The
Annual Report

Swap Agreements - continued
fund may enter into credit default swaps in which the fund or its counterparty act as guarantors. By acting as the guarantor of a swap, the fund assumes the market and credit risk of the underlying instrument including liquidity and loss of value. Periodic payments and premiums received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.
Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts' terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."
Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities ("mortgage dollar rolls") or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities ("reverse mortgage dollar rolls"). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but may be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $383,313,532 and $393,919,203, respectively.
Annual Report

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .15% | $ 259,704 | $ 1,097 |
Class T | 0% | .25% | 1,725,754 | 9,734 |
Class B | .65% | .25% | 1,185,418 | 856,429 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 997,661 | 164,579 |
| | | $ 4,168,537 | $ 1,031,839 |
Sales Load.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Institutional Class | | 4.72% | 7.29% | 6.81% |
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund - Institutional Class on October 31, 1994. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index did over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Kevin Grant, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund
U.S. investment-grade bonds posted solid returns for the year ending October 31, 2004. It was a volatile period for high-quality debt, which struggled late in 2003 with rising yields and concerns about higher inflation. The asset class bounced back in the first quarter of 2004, as weak economic data and heightened terrorism fears sparked a flight to safety into investment-grade bonds. But those gains were erased early in the second quarter when a strong employment report led many to believe the economy was heating up again and that the Federal Reserve Board would respond by hiking interest rates. While the Fed did raise rates three times before period end, bonds recovered well. For the 12 months overall, the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index rose 5.53%. Corporate bonds and mortgage securities fared best, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond and Mortgage-Backed Securities indexes rose 6.59% and 5.57%, respectively. Treasuries - the most interest-rate-sensitive bond category - had a 4.97% advance for the year, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2004, the fund's Institutional Class shares gained 4.72%, compared to 4.33% for the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index and 3.17% for the LipperSM Short-Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Average. The fund benefited most from its weighting in mortgage securities - a sector not represented in the index - and from security selection among BBB-rated corporate bonds. Looking back on the past 12 months, there really was no significant negative influence on the fund's results that we can point to. During 2004's second quarter, when rates rose, my focus on premium mortgage bonds helped the fund. As the price of the two-year Treasury was declining, the prices of many of the portfolio's mortgage securities were going up. In short, we were able to buy these bonds when they were very cheap, priced for the worst possible prepayment environment. When the market environment improved, they performed very well.
Note to shareholders: Ford O'Neil will become Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund on December 1, 2004.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Average Years to Maturity as of October 31, 2004 |

Years | 4.4 | 4.4 |
Average years to maturity is based on the average time remaining until principal payments are expected from each of the fund's bonds, weighted by dollar amount. |
Duration as of October 31, 2004 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 3.6 | 3.8 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended October 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of four years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, financing transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 37,000,482 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (4,624,205) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 32,376,277 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 6,002,189 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 15,523,461 | |

Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,350,049,306 | |

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures
Annual Report

Futures Contracts - continued
contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Swap Agreements. The fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.
Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange cash flows periodically based on a notional principal amount, for example, the exchange of fixed rate interest payments for floating rate interest payments. Periodic payments received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. The primary risk associated with interest rate swaps is that unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates could adversely impact the fund.
Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, the fund will make a payment to the counterparty. Periodic payments received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.
Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a "guarantor" receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the swap. The

Swap Agreements - continued
fund may enter into credit default swaps in which the fund or its counterparty act as guarantors. By acting as the guarantor of a swap, the fund assumes the market and credit risk of the underlying instrument including liquidity and loss of value. Periodic payments and premiums received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.
Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts' terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."
Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities ("mortgage dollar rolls") or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities ("reverse mortgage dollar rolls"). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but may be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $383,313,532 and $393,919,203, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75% for selling Class A shares, and 2.75% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 3% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 365,307 | .21 |

Class C | 215,114 | .22 |
Institutional Class | 507,854 | .22 |
| $ 2,935,501 | |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $2,631,202 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
Class B | 1.65% | $ 18,652 |
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $2,871. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.
| Transfer Agent expense reduction | |
Class A | $ 1,744 | |

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Class A (incl. 4.75% sales charge) A | | -0.22% | 5.82% | 6.40% |
Class T (incl. 3.50% sales charge) | | 1.01% | 6.00% | 6.44% |
Class B (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) | | -1.03% | 5.73% | 6.36% |
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) B | | 2.92% | 5.99% | 6.06% |
A Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September 3, 1996. Returns prior to September 3, 1996 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee.
B Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November 3, 1997. Returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Class B shares and reflect Class B shares' 0.90% 12b-1 fee (1.00% prior to January 1, 1996). Had Class C shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns between November 3, 1997 and January 1, 1996 would have been lower. Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past five year and past 10 year total return figures are 1%, 0%, and 0%, respectively.
Annual Report
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund - Class T on October 31, 1994, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® Government Bond Index did over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Tom Silvia, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Government Investment Fund
U.S. investment-grade bonds posted solid returns for the year ending October 31, 2004. It was a volatile period for high-quality debt, which struggled late in 2003 with rising yields and concerns about higher inflation. The asset class bounced back in the first quarter of 2004, as weak economic data and heightened terrorism fears sparked a flight to safety into investment-grade bonds. But those gains were erased early in the second quarter when a strong employment report led many to believe the economy was heating up again and that the Federal Reserve Board would respond by hiking interest rates. While the Fed did raise rates three times before period end, bonds recovered well. For the 12 months overall, the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index rose 5.53%. Corporate bonds and mortgage securities fared best, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond and Mortgage-Backed Securities indexes rose 6.59% and 5.57%, respectively. Treasuries - the most interest-rate-sensitive bond category - had a 4.97% advance for the year, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2004, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 4.76%, 4.67%, 3.97% and 3.92%, respectively. During the same period, the LipperSM General U.S. Government Funds Average returned 4.19% and the Lehman Brothers 75% U.S. Government/25% Mortgage-Backed Securities Index gained 5.02%. Aiding the fund's performance was its overweighting in mortgage securities, which benefited from their higher yields and reduced interest rate sensitivity relative to Treasuries. Higher interest rates slowed home loan refinancing and translated into reduced supply and better pricing for mortgage securities. The fund also benefited from strong security selection within the mortgage sector, particularly its stake in collateralized mortgage obligations. An overweighting in agency securities also boosted returns, as strong demand for higher-yielding alternatives to Treasuries helped boost the sector's performance. Detracting from performance was the decision to avoid Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, whose performance topped all government bond sectors.
Note to shareholders: William Irving and George Fischer became Co-Managers of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund on November 1, 2004.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Average Years to Maturity as of October 31, 2004 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 6.7 | 7.3 |
Average years to maturity is based on the average time remaining until principal payments are expected from each of the fund's bonds, weighted by dollar amount. |
Duration as of October 31, 2004 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 4.4 | 4.9 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended October 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, financing transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Swap Agreements. The fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.
Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange cash flows periodically based on a notional principal amount, for example, the exchange of fixed rate interest payments for floating rate interest payments. Periodic payments received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. The primary risk associated with interest rate swaps is that unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates could adversely impact the fund.

2. Operating Policies - continued
Swap Agreements - continued
Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts' terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."
Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities ("mortgage dollar rolls") or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities ("reverse mortgage dollar rolls"). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but may be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |

Class C | .75% | .25% | 717,980 | 79,391 |
| | | $ 2,848,703 | $ 1,044,725 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 43,123 |
Class T | 19,952 |
Class B* | 559,957 |
Class C* | 11,295 |
| $ 634,327 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the
sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the

respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:

Class C | 140,645 | .20 |
Institutional Class | 303,600 | .20 |
| $ 1,590,234 | |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
4. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
5. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.
Annual Report
6. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $353.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund as of October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Institutional Class A | | 4.98% | 7.05% | 7.06% |
A Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Institutional Class shares took place on July 3, 1995. Returns prior to July 3, 1995 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee.
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Government Investment Fund - Institutional Class on October 31, 1994. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® Government Bond Index did over the same period.
Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Tom Silvia, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Government Investment Fund
U.S. investment-grade bonds posted solid returns for the year ending October 31, 2004. It was a volatile period for high-quality debt, which struggled late in 2003 with rising yields and concerns about higher inflation. The asset class bounced back in the first quarter of 2004, as weak economic data and heightened terrorism fears sparked a flight to safety into investment-grade bonds. But those gains were erased early in the second quarter when a strong employment report led many to believe the economy was heating up again and that the Federal Reserve Board would respond by hiking interest rates. While the Fed did raise rates three times before period end, bonds recovered well. For the 12 months overall, the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index rose 5.53%. Corporate bonds and mortgage securities fared best, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond and Mortgage-Backed Securities indexes rose 6.59% and 5.57%, respectively. Treasuries - the most interest-rate-sensitive bond category - had a 4.97% advance for the year, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2004, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 4.98%. During the same period, the LipperSM General U.S. Government Funds Average returned 4.19% and the Lehman Brothers 75% U.S. Government/25% Mortgage-Backed Securities Index gained 5.02%. Aiding the fund's performance was its overweighting in mortgage securities, which benefited from their higher yields and reduced interest rate sensitivity relative to Treasuries. Higher interest rates slowed home loan refinancing and translated into reduced supply and better pricing for mortgage securities. The fund also benefited from strong security selection within the mortgage sector, particularly its stake in collateralized mortgage obligations. An overweighting in agency securities also boosted returns, as strong demand for higher-yielding alternatives to Treasuries helped boost the sector's performance. Detracting from performance was the decision to avoid Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, whose performance topped all government bond sectors.
Note to shareholders: William Irving and George Fischer became Co-Managers of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund on November 1, 2004.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Average years to maturity is based on the average time remaining until principal payments are expected from each of the fund's bonds, weighted by dollar amount. |
Duration as of October 31, 2004 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 4.4 | 4.9 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended October 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, financing transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 12,988,616 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (2,950,866) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 10,037,750 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 2,459,742 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 747,189 | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 743,604,044 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| October 31, 2004 | October 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 21,828,555 | $ 25,752,285 |
Long-term Capital Gains | 6,389,550 | 5,552,244 |
Total | $ 28,218,105 | $ 31,304,529 |
Annual Report
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Swap Agreements. The fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.
Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange cash flows periodically based on a notional principal amount, for example, the exchange of fixed rate interest payments for floating rate interest payments. Periodic payments received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. The primary risk associated with interest rate swaps is that unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates could adversely impact the fund.

2. Operating Policies - continued
Swap Agreements - continued
Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts' terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."
Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities ("mortgage dollar rolls") or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities ("reverse mortgage dollar rolls"). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but may be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .15% | $ 101,835 | $ - |

4. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
5. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund as of October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of four years.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Class A (incl. 1.50% sales charge) A | | 1.02% | 4.98% | 5.16% |
Class T (incl. 1.50% sales charge) | | 1.05% | 4.97% | 5.17% |
Class B (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) B | | -1.23% | 4.43% | 4.73% |
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) C | | 0.86% | 4.42% | 4.73% |
A Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September 3, 1996. Returns prior to September 3, 1996 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.15% 12b-1 fee.
B Class B shares bear a 0.90% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class B shares took place on October 9, 2002. Returns between November 3, 1997 and October 9, 2002 are those of Class C, and reflect a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. Class B returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Class T which has a 12b-1 fee of 0.15%. If Class B's 12b-1 fee had been reflected, returns from November 3, 1997 through October 9, 2002 would have been higher and returns prior to November 3, 1997 would have been lower. Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past five year and past 10 year total return figures are 3%, 0%, and 0%, respectively.
C Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November 3, 1997. Returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.15% 12b-1 fee. Had Class C shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997 would have been lower. Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past five year and past 10 year total return figures are 1%, 0%, and 0%, respectively.
Annual Report
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund - Class T on October 31, 1994, and the current 1.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index did over the same period.
Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Andrew Dudley, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund
U.S. investment-grade bonds posted solid returns for the year ending October 31, 2004. It was a volatile period for high-quality debt, which struggled late in 2003 with rising yields and concerns about higher inflation. The asset class bounced back in the first quarter of 2004, as weak economic data and heightened terrorism fears sparked a flight to safety into investment-grade bonds. But those gains were erased early in the second quarter when a strong employment report led many to believe the economy was heating up again and that the Federal Reserve Board would respond by hiking interest rates. While the Fed did raise rates three times before period end, bonds recovered well. For the 12 months overall, the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index rose 5.53%. Corporate bonds and mortgage securities fared best, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond and Mortgage-Backed Securities indexes rose 6.59% and 5.57%, respectively. Treasuries - the most interest-rate-sensitive bond category - had a 4.97% advance for the year, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index.
For the 12 months that ended October 31, 2004, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 2.56%, 2.59%, 1.77% and 1.86%, respectively. Over this same period, the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index returned 2.20%, while the LipperSM Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Average returned 1.89%. The fund benefited from its non-index allocations, which included home equity asset-backed securities and higher-coupon mortgage bonds. Corporate bonds continued to do well, helping absolute returns. The fund, however, was underweighted in the corporate sector, which hampered returns relative to the Lehman Brothers index. During the second half of the period, the fund benefited from its more distributed positioning. Unlike the index, which is concentrated in bonds with one- to three-year maturities, the fund also owned bonds with maturities of less than one year and more than three years. While the fund's interest rate sensitivity remained in line with the benchmark's, its more distributed structure gave it an advantage as longer-term yields declined and short-term yields rose sharply during the summer.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Average Years to Maturity as of October 31, 2004 |

Years | 2.6 | 2.5 |
Average years to maturity is based on the average time remaining until principal payments are expected from each of the fund's bonds, weighted by dollar amount. |
Duration as of October 31, 2004 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 2.0 | 1.9 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended October 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of four years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Security Valuation - continued
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, financing transactions, capital loss carryforwards, expiring capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the

fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Swap Agreements. The fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.
Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange cash flows periodically based on a notional principal amount, for example, the exchange of fixed rate interest payments for floating rate interest payments. Periodic payments received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. The primary risk associated with interest rate swaps is that unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates could adversely impact the fund.
Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, the fund will make a

payment to the counterparty. Periodic payments received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.
Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a "guarantor" receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the swap. The fund may enter into credit default swaps in which the fund or its counterparty act as guarantors. By acting as the guarantor of a swap, the fund assumes the market and credit risk of the underlying instrument including liquidity and loss of value. Periodic payments and premiums received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.
Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts' terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."
Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities ("mortgage dollar rolls") or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities ("reverse mortgage dollar rolls"). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but may be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an

adjustment to investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $468,537,323 and $384,953,227, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .15% | $ 373,992 | $ - |
Class T | 0% | .15% | 733,747 | 24,559 |
Class B | .65% | .25% | 461,333 | 333,186 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 3,135,143 | 867,953 |
| | | $ 4,704,215 | $ 1,225,698 |
Annual Report
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 1.50% for selling Class A and Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of a contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 3% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 112,348 |
Class T | 67,852 |
Class B* | 129,454 |
Class C* | 142,350 |
| $ 452,004 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 602,397 | .24 |
Class T | 1,002,753 | .20 |
Class B | 132,161 | .26 |
Class C | 544,715 | .17 |
Institutional Class | 152,286 | .17 |
| $ 2,434,312 | |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $3,091,081 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.
7. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $3,592.
8. Other Information.
At the end of the period, one otherwise unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 11% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund as of October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Institutional Class A | | 2.78% | 5.49% | 5.49% |
A The initial offering of Institutional Class shares took place on July 3, 1995. Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to July 3, 1995 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.15% 12b-1 fee.
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund - Institutional Class on October 31, 1994. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index did over the same period.

It was a volatile period for high-quality debt, which struggled late in 2003 with rising yields and concerns about higher inflation. The asset class bounced back in the first quarter of 2004, as weak economic data and heightened terrorism fears sparked a flight to safety into investment-grade bonds. But those gains were erased early in the second quarter when a strong employment report led many to believe the economy was heating up again and that the Federal Reserve Board would respond by hiking interest rates. While the Fed did raise rates three times before period end, bonds recovered well. For the 12 months overall, the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index rose 5.53%. Corporate bonds and mortgage securities fared best, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond and Mortgage-Backed Securities indexes rose 6.59% and 5.57%, respectively. Treasuries - the most interest-rate-sensitive bond category - had a 4.97% advance for the year, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index.
For the 12 months that ended October 31, 2004, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 2.78%. Over the same period, the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index returned 2.20%, while the LipperSM Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Average returned 1.89%. The fund benefited from its non-index allocations, which included home equity asset-backed securities and higher-coupon mortgage bonds. Corporate bonds continued to do well, helping absolute returns. The fund, however, was underweighted in the corporate sector, which hampered returns relative to the Lehman Brothers index. During the second half of the period, the fund benefited from its more distributed positioning. Unlike the index, which is concentrated in bonds with one- to three-year maturities, the fund also owned bonds with maturities of less than one year and more than three years. While the fund's interest rate sensitivity remained in line with the benchmark's, its more distributed structure gave it an advantage as longer-term yields declined and short-term yields rose sharply during the summer.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Average Years to Maturity as of October 31, 2004 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 2.6 | 2.5 |
Average years to maturity is based on the average time remaining until principal payments are expected from each of the fund's bonds, weighted by dollar amount. |
Duration as of October 31, 2004 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 2.0 | 1.9 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended October 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of four years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Security Valuation - continued
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, financing transactions, capital loss carryforwards, expiring capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the

fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Swap Agreements. The fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.
Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange cash flows periodically based on a notional principal amount, for example, the exchange of fixed rate interest payments for floating rate interest payments. Periodic payments received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. The primary risk associated with interest rate swaps is that unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates could adversely impact the fund.
Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, the fund will make a

payment to the counterparty. Periodic payments received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.
Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a "guarantor" receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the swap. The fund may enter into credit default swaps in which the fund or its counterparty act as guarantors. By acting as the guarantor of a swap, the fund assumes the market and credit risk of the underlying instrument including liquidity and loss of value. Periodic payments and premiums received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.
Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts' terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."
Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities ("mortgage dollar rolls") or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities ("reverse mortgage dollar rolls"). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but may be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an

adjustment to investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $468,537,323 and $384,953,227, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund as of October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund | 5.21% | 7.05% | 7.48% |
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund on October 31, 1994. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® Mortgage-Backed Securities Index did over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from George Fischer, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund
U.S. investment-grade bonds posted solid returns for the year ending October 31, 2004. It was a volatile period for high-quality debt, which struggled late in 2003 with rising yields and concerns about higher inflation. The asset class bounced back in the first quarter of 2004, as weak economic data and heightened terrorism fears sparked a flight to safety into investment-grade bonds. But those gains were erased early in the second quarter when a strong employment report led many to believe the economy was heating up again and that the Federal Reserve Board would respond by hiking interest rates. While the Fed did raise rates three times before period end, bonds recovered well. For the 12 months overall, the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index rose 5.53%. Corporate bonds and mortgage securities fared best, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond and Mortgage-Backed Securities indexes rose 6.59% and 5.57%, respectively. Treasuries - the most interest-rate-sensitive bond category - had a 4.97% advance for the year, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2004, Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund returned 5.21%. During the same period, the LipperSM U.S. Mortgage Funds Average returned 4.51%. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index - which tracks the types of securities in which the fund invests - returned 5.57%. Aiding the fund's performance was advantageous security selection, owing to the ability of Fidelity's mortgage research team to accurately predict mortgage security prepayment levels. That led to an overweighting in lower-coupon mortgages, which generally outperformed higher-coupon securities during the year because they proved more resistant to mortgage prepayments. That said, the fund's performance likely would have benefited from a larger stake in higher-coupon securities during periods of market weakness. Elsewhere, the fund gained from its stake in collateralized mortgage obligations, which were helped in part by strong demand for higher-yielding mortgage securities. Likewise, yield-hungry investors boosted the prices of the fund's holdings in commercial mortgage-backed securities, which also benefited from improvement in the outlook for some segments of the commercial real estate market.
The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Average Years to Maturity as of October 31, 2004 |

Years | 3.0 | 4.1 |
Average years to maturity is based on the average time remaining until principal payments are expected from each of the fund's bonds, weighted by dollar amount. |
Duration as of October 31, 2004 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 2.9 | 4.0 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended October 31, 2004
(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, financing transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 24,662 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (4,419) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 20,243 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 17,760 | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 2,345,357 | |

Long-term Capital Gains | 2,760 | 1,617 |
Total | $ 83,842 | $ 61,466 |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
2. Operating Policies - continued
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities ("mortgage dollar rolls") or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities ("reverse mortgage dollar rolls"). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but may be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $29,209 and $136,954, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .15% | $ 90 | $ - |
Class T | 0% | .25% | 345 | 6 |
Class B | .65% | .25% | 1,380 | 997 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 731 | 201 |
| | | $ 2,546 | $ 1,204 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 36 |
Class T | 19 |
Class B* | 528 |
Class C | 24 |
| $ 607 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the
sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund, except for Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting,

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $7,030 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Institutional Class A | | 5.19% | 7.00% | 7.43% |
A Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Institutional Class shares took place on March 3, 1997. Returns prior to March 3, 1997 are those of Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund, the original class of the fund.
Annual Report
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund - Institutional Class on October 31, 1994. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® Mortgage-Backed Securities Index did over the same period.
Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from George Fischer, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund
U.S. investment-grade bonds posted solid returns for the year ending October 31, 2004. It was a volatile period for high-quality debt, which struggled late in 2003 with rising yields and concerns about higher inflation. The asset class bounced back in the first quarter of 2004, as weak economic data and heightened terrorism fears sparked a flight to safety into investment-grade bonds. But those gains were erased early in the second quarter when a strong employment report led many to believe the economy was heating up again and that the Federal Reserve Board would respond by hiking interest rates. While the Fed did raise rates three times before period end, bonds recovered well. For the 12 months overall, the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index rose 5.53%. Corporate bonds and mortgage securities fared best, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond and Mortgage-Backed Securities indexes rose 6.59% and 5.57%, respectively. Treasuries - the most interest-rate-sensitive bond category - had a 4.97% advance for the year, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2004, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 5.19%. During the same period, the LipperSM U.S. Mortgage Funds Average returned 4.51%. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index - - which tracks the types of securities in which the fund invests - returned 5.57%. Aiding the fund's performance was advantageous security selection, owing to the ability of Fidelity's mortgage research team to accurately predict mortgage security prepayment levels. That led to an overweighting in lower-coupon mortgages, which generally outperformed higher-coupon securities during the year because they proved more resistant to mortgage prepayments. That said, the fund's performance likely would have benefited from a larger stake in higher-coupon securities during periods of market weakness. Elsewhere, the fund gained from its stake in collateralized mortgage obligations, which were helped in part by strong demand for higher-yielding mortgage securities. Likewise, yield-hungry investors boosted the prices of the fund's holdings in commercial mortgage-backed securities, which also benefited from improvement in the outlook for some segments of the commercial real estate market.
The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Average years to maturity is based on the average time remaining until principal payments are expected from each of the fund's bonds, weighted by dollar amount. |
Duration as of October 31, 2004 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 2.9 | 4.0 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended October 31, 2004
(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, financing transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 24,662 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (4,419) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 20,243 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 17,760 | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 2,345,357 | |

Long-term Capital Gains | 2,760 | 1,617 |
Total | $ 83,842 | $ 61,466 |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

2. Operating Policies - continued
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities ("mortgage dollar rolls") or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities ("reverse mortgage dollar rolls"). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but may be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $29,209 and $136,954, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .15% | $ 90 | $ - |
Class T | 0% | .25% | 345 | 6 |
Class B | .65% | .25% | 1,380 | 997 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 731 | 201 |
| | | $ 2,546 | $ 1,204 |
Sales Load.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Class A (incl. 4.75% sales charge) A | | -0.01% | 5.81% | 6.79% |
Class T (incl. 3.50% sales charge) B | | 1.19% | 5.97% | 6.84% |
Class B (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) C | | -0.92% | 5.71% | 6.76% |
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) D | | 3.04% | 6.02% | 6.69% |
A Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on March 3, 1997. Returns prior to March 3, 1997 are those of Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund, the original class of the fund, which does not bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class A shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to March 3, 1997 would have been lower.
B Class T shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class T shares took place on March 3, 1997. Returns prior to March 3, 1997 are those of Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund, the original class of the fund, which does not bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class T shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to March 3, 1997 would have been lower.
C Class B shares bear a 0.90% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class B shares took place on March 3, 1997. Returns prior to March 3, 1997 are those of Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund, the original class of the fund, which does not bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class B shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to March 3, 1997 would have been lower. Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in past one year, past five year and past 10 year total return figures are 5%, 2% and 0%, respectively.
D Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class C shares took place on August 16, 2001. Returns from March 3, 1997 through August 16, 2001 are those of Class B, and reflect Class B shares' 0.90% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to March 3, 1997 are those of Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund, the original class of the fund, which does not bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class C shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to August 16, 2001 would have been lower. Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five year and past 10 year total return figures are 1%, 0% and 0%, respectively.

$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund - Class T on October 31, 1994, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® Mortgage-Backed Securities Index did over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from George Fischer, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund
U.S. investment-grade bonds posted solid returns for the year ending October 31, 2004. It was a volatile period for high-quality debt, which struggled late in 2003 with rising yields and concerns about higher inflation. The asset class bounced back in the first quarter of 2004, as weak economic data and heightened terrorism fears sparked a flight to safety into investment-grade bonds. But those gains were erased early in the second quarter when a strong employment report led many to believe the economy was heating up again and that the Federal Reserve Board would respond by hiking interest rates. While the Fed did raise rates three times before period end, bonds recovered well. For the 12 months overall, the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index rose 5.53%. Corporate bonds and mortgage securities fared best, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond and Mortgage-Backed Securities indexes rose 6.59% and 5.57%, respectively. Treasuries - the most interest-rate-sensitive bond category - had a 4.97% advance for the year, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2004, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 4.97%, 4.86%, 4.08% and 4.04%, respectively. During the same period, the LipperSM U.S. Mortgage Funds Average returned 4.51%. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index - which tracks the types of securities in which the fund invests - returned 5.57%. Aiding the fund's performance was advantageous security selection, owing to the ability of Fidelity's mortgage research team to accurately predict mortgage security prepayment levels. That led to an overweighting in lower-coupon mortgages, which generally outperformed higher-coupon securities during the year because they proved more resistant to mortgage prepayments. That said, the fund's performance likely would have benefited from a larger stake in higher-coupon securities during periods of market weakness. Elsewhere, the fund gained from its stake in collateralized mortgage obligations, which were helped in part by strong demand for higher-yielding mortgage securities. Likewise, yield-hungry investors boosted the prices of the fund's holdings in commercial mortgage-backed securities, which also benefited from improvement in the outlook for some segments of the commercial real estate market.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Years | 3.0 | 4.1 |
Average years to maturity is based on the average time remaining until principal payments are expected from each of the fund's bonds, weighted by dollar amount. |
Duration as of October 31, 2004 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 2.9 | 4.0 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

A Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.
B Total returns do not include the effect of the sales charges.
C Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.
D Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended October 31, 2004
(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, financing transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 24,662 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (4,419) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 20,243 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 17,760 | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 2,345,357 | |

Long-term Capital Gains | 2,760 | 1,617 |
Total | $ 83,842 | $ 61,466 |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
2. Operating Policies - continued
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities ("mortgage dollar rolls") or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities ("reverse mortgage dollar rolls"). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but may be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $29,209 and $136,954, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .15% | $ 90 | $ - |
Class T | 0% | .25% | 345 | 6 |
Class B | .65% | .25% | 1,380 | 997 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 731 | 201 |
| | | $ 2,546 | $ 1,204 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 36 |
Class T | 19 |
Class B* | 528 |
Class C | 24 |
| $ 607 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the
sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund, except for Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting,

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $7,030 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Class A (incl. 4.75% sales charge)A | | 6.90% | 5.07% | 7.42% |
Class T (incl. 3.50% sales charge) | | 8.31% | 5.27% | 7.52% |
Class B (incl. contingent deferred sales charge)B | | 6.44% | 5.04% | 7.41% |
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge)C | | 10.33% | 5.23% | 7.09% |
A Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September 3, 1996. Returns prior to September 3, 1996 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee.
B Class B shares bear a 0.90% 12b-1 fee (1.00% prior to January 1, 1996). The initial offering of Class B shares took place on June 30, 1994. Returns prior to June 30, 1994 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Had Class B shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to June 30, 1994 would have been lower. Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five year and past 10 year total return figures are 5%, 2%, and 0%, respectively.
C Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November 3, 1997. Returns between June 30, 1994 and November 3, 1997 are those of Class B shares and reflect Class B shares' 0.90% 12b-1 fee (1.00% prior to January 1, 1996). Returns prior to June 30, 1994 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Had Class C shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns between November 3, 1997 and January 1, 1996 and prior to June 30, 1994 would have been lower. Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past five year and past 10 year total return figures are 1%, 0%, and 0%, respectively.
Annual Report
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor High Income Advantage Fund - Class T on October 31, 1994, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index did over the same period.
Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Tom Soviero, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor High Income Advantage Fund
High-yield debt was one of the best-performing asset classes during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2004, extending a rally that began in October 2002. The high-yield bond market gained 12.19% during the past year, according to the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Index. On a two-year basis through October 2004, the benchmark has advanced nearly 50%. During the past year, high yield was bolstered by strong demand from investors searching for yield, increased evidence of an economic recovery, fewer distressed credits, a sharp reduction in the default rate, and the sustained efforts of corporate America to deleverage and improve its balance sheets. As was the case since the beginning of the high-yield bull run, the rally was broad-based: Nearly every industry in the index notched a positive return during the past year. The lone exception was air transportation, which was hurt by the bankruptcy filing of a major airline and the skyrocketing cost of fuel. High yield overall stumbled in the second quarter of 2004, snapping a streak of six consecutive quarterly gains. Interest rate concerns and supply/demand issues contributed to the lackluster performance. However, high yield bounced back in the third quarter, boosted by benign inflation data and the Federal Reserve Board's commitment to raise rates at a measured pace.
During the past 12 months, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 12.23%, 12.24%, 11.44% and 11.33%, respectively, performing roughly in line with the Merrill Lynch index and outperforming the LipperSM High Current Yield Funds Average, which returned 11.03%. Positive security selection from such industries as energy, consumer products, electric utilities, textiles and apparel, and telecommunications helped the fund's relative performance versus the index. Consumer products company Revlon, global power company AES, apparel firm Levi's, El Paso Energy and Qwest Communications were specific holdings that enjoyed strong performance during the past year. The fund also benefited compared to the index from carrying overweightings in the energy and electric utility industries. However, overweighted positions in telecommunications and air transportation held back the fund's performance relative to the index. Individual detractors from performance included bonds of apparel manufacturer Westpoint Stevens, wireless telecommunication services provider Triton PCS and local telecom provider MacLeodUSA.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor High Income Advantage Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt

of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to prior period premium and discount on debt securities, defaulted bonds, market discount, partnerships, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 301,142 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (154,323) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 146,819 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 70,620 | |

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $1,650,883 and $1,979,516, respectively.

The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services.

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The fund's activity in this program during the period was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 35,260 | 1.12% | $ 4 |
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $12 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $4.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor High Income Advantage Fund as of October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Tom Soviero, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor High Income Advantage Fund
High-yield debt was one of the best-performing asset classes during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2004, extending a rally that began in October 2002. The high-yield bond market gained 12.19% during the past year, according to the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Index. On a two-year basis through October 2004, the benchmark has advanced nearly 50%. During the past year, high yield was bolstered by strong demand from investors searching for yield, increased evidence of an economic recovery, fewer distressed credits, a sharp reduction in the default rate, and the sustained efforts of corporate America to deleverage and improve its balance sheets. As was the case since the beginning of the high-yield bull run, the rally was broad-based: Nearly every industry in the index notched a positive return during the past year. The lone exception was air transportation, which was hurt by the bankruptcy filing of a major airline and the skyrocketing cost of fuel. High yield overall stumbled in the second quarter of 2004, snapping a streak of six consecutive quarterly gains. Interest rate concerns and supply/demand issues contributed to the lackluster performance. However, high yield bounced back in the third quarter, boosted by benign inflation data and the Federal Reserve Board's commitment to raise rates at a measured pace.
During the past 12 months, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 12.46%, performing roughly in line with the Merrill Lynch index and outperforming the LipperSM High Current Yield Funds Average, which returned 11.03%. Positive security selection from such industries as energy, consumer products, electric utilities, textiles and apparel, and telecommunications helped the fund's relative performance versus the index. Consumer products company Revlon, global power company AES, apparel firm Levi's, El Paso Energy and Qwest Communications were specific holdings that enjoyed strong performance during the past year. The fund also benefited compared to the index from carrying overweightings in the energy and electric utility industries. However, overweighted positions in telecommunications and air transportation held back the fund's performance relative to the index. Individual detractors from performance included bonds of apparel manufacturer Westpoint Stevens, wireless telecommunication services provider Triton PCS and local telecom provider MacLeodUSA.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Annual Report
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor High Income Advantage Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Security Valuation - continued
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt

Deferred Trustee Compensation - continued
of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to prior period premium and discount on debt securities, defaulted bonds, market discount, partnerships, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 301,142 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (154,323) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 146,819 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 70,620 | |
Capital loss carryforward | (1,144,060) | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 2,320,638 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| October 31, 2004 | October 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 266,622 | $ 187,268 |

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 31, 2004 and held in the fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $1,650,883 and $1,979,516, respectively.
Annual Report
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .15% | $ 432 | $ 1 |
Class T | 0% | .25% | 3,252 | 67 |
Class B | .65% | .25% | 5,001 | 3,613 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 2,066 | 369 |
| | | $ 10,751 | $ 4,050 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 148 | |
Class T | 120 | |
Class B* | 1,022 | |
Class C* | 54 | |
| $ 1,344 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $1,320 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $30 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The fund's activity in this program during the period was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 35,260 | 1.12% | $ 4 |
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $12 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $4.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor High Income Advantage Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor High Income Advantage Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor High Income Advantage Fund as of October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matthew Conti, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor High Income Fund
High-yield debt was one of the best-performing asset classes during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2004, extending a rally that began in October 2002. The high-yield bond market gained 12.19% during the past year, according to the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Index. On a two-year basis through October 2004, the benchmark has advanced nearly 50%. During the past year, high yield was bolstered by strong demand from investors searching for yield, increased evidence of an economic recovery, fewer distressed credits, a sharp reduction in the default rate, and the sustained efforts of corporate America to deleverage and improve its balance sheets. As was the case since the beginning of the high-yield bull run, the rally was broad-based: Nearly every industry in the index notched a positive return during the past year. The lone exception was air transportation, which was hurt by the bankruptcy filing of a major airline and the skyrocketing cost of fuel. High yield overall stumbled in the second quarter of 2004, snapping a streak of six consecutive quarterly gains. Interest rate concerns and supply/demand issues contributed to the lackluster performance. However, high yield bounced back in the third quarter, boosted by benign inflation data and the Federal Reserve Board's commitment to raise rates at a measured pace.
During the past 12 months, Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund's Institutional Class shares returned 10.66%, underperforming the Merrill Lynch index and the LipperSM High Current Yield Funds Average, which returned 11.03%. An overweighting in the airline group hurt the fund's performance versus the index. This industry suffered from soaring fuel costs. Similarly, an overweighted position on average during the period in telecommunications held back fund performance, as this sector lagged during the period. On the positive side, strong security selection in energy, cable TV, chemicals and health care helped the fund's relative performance. Top performers included natural gas pipeline company El Paso, Huntsman Chemicals and electric utilities Sierra Pacific Resources, AES and NRG Energy. Airline companies American Airlines, Northwest, Continental and Delta detracted from fund performance, as did Cincinnati Bell and semiconductor testing and packaging company Amkor Technology.
The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

For the period ended October 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 25,227,317 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (3,445,860) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 21,781,457 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 4,553,364 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 6,920,012 | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 468,872,960 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| October 31, 2004 | October 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 30,790,168 | $ 20,668,292 |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 1, 2004 and held in the fund less than 90 days will be subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and

may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $634,646,467 and $526,363,747, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |

Class C | .75% | .25% | 615,705 | 207,655 |
| | | $ 1,623,616 | $ 699,259 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 74,807 | |
Class T | 23,989 | |
Class B* | 216,865 | |
Class C* | 23,265 | |
| $ 338,926 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $210,504 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $9 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $46 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $6,633.

Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund as of October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Life of fund A |
Class A (incl. 4.75% sales charge) | 5.25% | 6.37% | 6.22% |
Class T (incl. 3.50% sales charge) | 6.43% | 6.52% | 6.37% |
Class B (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) B | 4.58% | 6.27% | 6.26% |
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) C | 8.47% | 6.48% | 6.29% |
A From September 7, 1999.
B Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past five year, and life of fund total return figures are 5%, 2% and 1%, respectively.
C Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five year, and life of fund total return figures are 1%, 0% and 0%, respectively.
Annual Report
$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor High Income Fund - Class T on September 7, 1999, when the fund started, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Index did over the same period.
Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matthew Conti, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor High Income Fund
High-yield debt was one of the best-performing asset classes during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2004, extending a rally that began in October 2002. The high-yield bond market gained 12.19% during the past year, according to the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Index. On a two-year basis through October 2004, the benchmark has advanced nearly 50%. During the past year, high yield was bolstered by strong demand from investors searching for yield, increased evidence of an economic recovery, fewer distressed credits, a sharp reduction in the default rate, and the sustained efforts of corporate America to deleverage and improve its balance sheets. As was the case since the beginning of the high-yield bull run, the rally was broad-based: Nearly every industry in the index notched a positive return during the past year. The lone exception was air transportation, which was hurt by the bankruptcy filing of a major airline and the skyrocketing cost of fuel. High yield overall stumbled in the second quarter of 2004, snapping a streak of six consecutive quarterly gains. Interest rate concerns and supply/demand issues contributed to the lackluster performance. However, high yield bounced back in the third quarter, boosted by benign inflation data and the Federal Reserve Board's commitment to raise rates at a measured pace.
During the past 12 months, Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 10.50%, 10.29%, 9.58% and 9.47%, respectively, underperforming the Merrill Lynch index and the LipperSM High Current Yield Funds Average, which returned 11.03%. An overweighting in the airline group hurt the fund's performance versus the index. This industry suffered from soaring fuel costs. Similarly, an overweighted position on average during the past year in telecommunications held back fund performance, as this sector lagged during the period. On the positive side, strong security selection in energy, cable TV, chemicals and health care helped the fund's relative performance. Top performers included natural gas pipeline company El Paso, Huntsman Chemicals and electric utilities Sierra Pacific Resources, AES and NRG Energy. Airline companies American Airlines, Northwest, Continental and Delta detracted from fund performance, as did Cincinnati Bell and semiconductor testing and packaging company Amkor Technology.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended October 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 25,227,317 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (3,445,860) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 21,781,457 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 4,553,364 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 6,920,012 | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 468,872,960 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| October 31, 2004 | October 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 30,790,168 | $ 20,668,292 |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares purchased after March 1, 2004 and held in the fund less than 90 days will be subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and

may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $634,646,467 and $526,363,747, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .15% | $ 118,409 | $ - |
Class T | 0% | .25% | 209,034 | 156 |
Class B | .65% | .25% | 680,468 | 491,448 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 615,705 | 207,655 |
| | | $ 1,623,616 | $ 699,259 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 74,807 | |
Class T | 23,989 | |
Class B* | 216,865 | |
Class C* | 23,265 | |
| $ 338,926 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund as of October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | | Past 1 year | Life of fund A |
Class A (incl. 3.75% sales charge) | | 0.06% | 3.26% |
Class T (incl. 2.75% sales charge) | | 1.01% | 3.40% |
Class B (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) B | | -0.12% | 3.29% |
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) C | | 2.41% | 3.55% |
A From August 16, 2000.
B Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, and life of fund total return figures are 3.5%, and 1.5%, respectively.
C Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, and life of fund total return figures are 1%, and 0%, respectively.
Annual Report
$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund - Class T on August 16, 2000, when the fund started, and the current 2.75% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the CSFB Leveraged Loan Index did over the same period.
Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Christine McConnell, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund
The leveraged loan market posted a healthy return for the 12-month period ending October 31, 2004, helped by rising interest rates, tight market technicals and a low default rate. During the past year the federal funds target rate rose 0.75%. This translated to a 0.85% rise in LIBOR - the London Interbank Offering Rate - which rose from 1.32% on May 31, 2004, to 2.17% at the end of October. LIBOR is the common base rate for loan coupons. As noted, supply and demand for leveraged loans remained tight. The residual impact of this market backdrop was price appreciation, yield spread compression and increased risk of early loan repayment at par. According to the S&P/LSTA (Loan Syndication and Trading Association), the average secondary bid price was 101.16 as of October 31, 2004, while the loan yield spread for BB/BB- rated issues was 225 basis points (or 2.25%) and 274 bps for B+/B rated issues. Higher LIBOR rates helped to mitigate the impact of the spread compression on the absolute coupon payment. The default rate remained low, but the underlying credit quality of new issues eroded somewhat during the past 12 months as the percentage of single-B issuers rose from 28% to 37%.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2004, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 3.96%, 3.87%, 3.38% and 3.41%, respectively. In comparison, the LipperSM Loan Participation Funds Average returned 3.80% and the fund's benchmark, the Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) Leveraged Loan Index, returned 5.96%. The CSFB index is not actively maintained and does not purport to reflect coupon changes or partial loan repayments that may occur during the life of the loan. In addition to the data maintenance limitations associated with the CSFB index, relative fund returns were hurt by a high cash position and issue selection in utilities and wireless. In utilities, underweighted positions relative to the index in Reliant Resources and Edison Mission hurt. In wireless, the fund was hampered by underweighting the restructuring Sprint affiliates Airgate, Ubiquitel and Horizon. Several out-of-benchmark investments contributed to performance, including El Paso Corp., British cable company NTL and XM Satellite Radio. In the telecommunications sector, the fund was helped by underweighted positions in McLeod, Global Crossing and Level 3 Communications. In utilities, positions in Dynegy, Astoria Energy and CenterPoint Energy helped.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Security Valuation - continued
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured. The fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as Income in the accompanying financial statements.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

2. Operating Policies - continued
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments. At the end of the period, the fund had unfunded loan commitments of $1,406.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including principal repayments of floating rate loans), other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $3,154,942 and $1,219,991, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .68% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .15% | $ 279 | $ - |
Class T | 0% | .25% | 496 | 69 |
Class B | .55% | .15% | 1,078 | 847 |
Class C | .55% | .25% | 3,030 | 1,544 |
| | | $ 4,883 | $ 2,460 |
Annual Report
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75% for selling Class A shares, and 2.75% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 3.50% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 393 | |
Class T | 121 | |
Class B* | 372 | |
Class C* | 166 | |
| $ 1,052 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund, except for Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC or FSC, were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Accounting Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $5,514 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Bank Borrowings.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The average daily loan balance during the period amounted to $6,792. The weighted average interest rate was 1.50%. At period end, there were no bank borrowings outstanding.
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
| | |
Class B | 1.65% | $ 3 |
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $21.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period from August 16, 2000 to October 31, 2000. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund as of October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period from August 16, 2000 to October 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Life of fundA |
Fidelity Floating Rate High Income FundB | 4.22% | 4.38% |

B The initial offering of retail shares took place on September 19, 2002. Returns prior to September 19, 2002 are those of the Institutional class of Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund, one of the original classes of the fund.
$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund on August 16, 2000, when the fund started. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the CSFB Leveraged Loan Index did over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Christine McConnell, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund
The leveraged loan market posted a healthy return for the 12-month period ending October 31, 2004, helped by rising interest rates, tight market technicals and a low default rate. During the past year the federal funds target rate rose 0.75%. This translated to a 0.85% rise in LIBOR - the London Interbank Offering Rate - which rose from 1.32% on May 31, 2004, to 2.17% at the end of October. LIBOR is the common base rate for loan coupons. As noted, supply and demand for leveraged loans remained tight. The residual impact of this market backdrop was price appreciation, yield spread compression and increased risk of early loan repayment at par. According to the S&P/LSTA (Loan Syndication and Trading Association), the average secondary bid price was 101.16 as of October 31, 2004, while the loan yield spread for BB/BB- rated issues was 225 basis points (or 2.25%) and 274 bps for B+/B rated issues. Higher LIBOR rates helped to mitigate the impact of the spread compression on the absolute coupon payment. The default rate remained low, but the underlying credit quality of new issues eroded somewhat during the past 12 months as the percentage of single-B issuers rose from 28% to 37%.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2004, the fund returned 4.22%. In comparison, the LipperSM Loan Participation Funds Average returned 3.80% and the fund's benchmark, the Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) Leveraged Loan Index, returned 5.96%. The CSFB index is not actively maintained and does not purport to reflect coupon changes or partial loan repayments that may occur during the life of the loan. In addition to the data maintenance limitations associated with the CSFB index, relative fund returns were hurt by a high cash position and issue selection in utilities and wireless. In utilities, underweighted positions relative to the index in Reliant Resources and Edison Mission hurt. In wireless, the fund was hampered by underweighting the restructuring Sprint affiliates Airgate, Ubiquitel and Horizon. Several out-of-benchmark investments contributed to performance, including El Paso Corp., British cable company NTL and XM Satellite Radio. In the telecommunications sector, the fund was helped by underweighted positions in McLeod, Global Crossing and Level 3 Communications. In utilities, positions in Dynegy, Astoria Energy and CenterPoint Energy helped.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Security Valuation - continued
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured. The fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as Income in the accompanying financial statements.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

2. Operating Policies - continued
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments. At the end of the period, the fund had unfunded loan commitments of $1,406.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including principal repayments of floating rate loans), other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $3,154,942 and $1,219,991, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .68% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .15% | $ 279 | $ - |
Class T | 0% | .25% | 496 | 69 |
Class B | .55% | .15% | 1,078 | 847 |
Class C | .55% | .25% | 3,030 | 1,544 |

Annual Report
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75% for selling Class A shares, and 2.75% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 3.50% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 393 | |
Class T | 121 | |
Class B* | 372 | |
Class C* | 166 | |
| $ 1,052 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund, except for Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Accounting Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $5,514 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Bank Borrowings.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The average daily loan balance during the period amounted to $6,792. The weighted average interest rate was 1.50%. At period end, there were no bank borrowings outstanding.
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
| | |
Class B | 1.65% | $ 3 |
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $21.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period from August 16, 2000 to October 31, 2000. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund as of October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period from August 16, 2000 to October 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended October 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Life of FundA |
Institutional Class | 4.29% | 4.36% |
A From August 16, 2000.
$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund - Institutional Class on August 16, 2000, when the fund started. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the CSFB Leveraged Loan Index did over the same period.
Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Christine McConnell, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund
The leveraged loan market posted a healthy return for the 12-month period ending October 31, 2004, helped by rising interest rates, tight market technicals and a low default rate. During the past year the federal funds target rate rose 0.75%. This translated to a 0.85% rise in LIBOR - the London Interbank Offering Rate - which rose from 1.32% on May 31, 2004, to 2.17% at the end of October. LIBOR is the common base rate for loan coupons. As noted, supply and demand for leveraged loans remained tight. The residual impact of this market backdrop was price appreciation, yield spread compression and increased risk of early loan repayment at par. According to the S&P/LSTA (Loan Syndication and Trading Association), the average secondary bid price was 101.16 as of October 31, 2004, while the loan yield spread for BB/BB- rated issues was 225 basis points (or 2.25%) and 274 bps for B+/B rated issues. Higher LIBOR rates helped to mitigate the impact of the spread compression on the absolute coupon payment. The default rate remained low, but the underlying credit quality of new issues eroded somewhat during the past 12 months as the percentage of single-B issuers rose from 28% to 37%.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2004, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 4.29%. In comparison, the LipperSM Loan Participation Funds Average returned 3.80% and the fund's benchmark, the Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) Leveraged Loan Index, returned 5.96%. The CSFB index is not actively maintained and does not purport to reflect coupon changes or partial loan repayments that may occur during the life of the loan. In addition to the data maintenance limitations associated with the CSFB index, relative fund returns were hurt by a high cash position and issue selection in utilities and wireless. In utilities, underweighted positions relative to the index in Reliant Resources and Edison Mission hurt. In wireless, the fund was hampered by underweighting the restructuring Sprint affiliates Airgate, Ubiquitel and Horizon. Several out-of-benchmark investments contributed to performance, including El Paso Corp., British cable company NTL and XM Satellite Radio. In the telecommunications sector, the fund was helped by underweighted positions in McLeod, Global Crossing and Level 3 Communications. In utilities, positions in Dynegy, Astoria Energy and CenterPoint Energy helped.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with

Security Valuation - continued
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured. The fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as Income in the accompanying financial statements.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

2. Operating Policies - continued
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments. At the end of the period, the fund had unfunded loan commitments of $1,406.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including principal repayments of floating rate loans), other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $3,154,942 and $1,219,991, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .68% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .15% | $ 279 | $ - |
Class T | 0% | .25% | 496 | 69 |
Class B | .55% | .15% | 1,078 | 847 |
Class C | .55% | .25% | 3,030 | 1,544 |
| | | $ 4,883 | $ 2,460 |
Annual Report
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75% for selling Class A shares, and 2.75% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 3.50% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 393 | |
Class T | 121 | |
Class B* | 372 | |
Class C* | 166 | |
| $ 1,052 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund, except for Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC or FSC, were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Accounting Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $5,514 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Bank Borrowings.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The average daily loan balance during the period amounted to $6,792. The weighted average interest rate was 1.50%. At period end, there were no bank borrowings outstanding.
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
| | |
Class B | 1.65% | $ 3 |
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $21.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period from August 16, 2000 to October 31, 2000. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund as of October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period from August 16, 2000 to October 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(e) (1) | Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
The trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.
The trust's Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity Fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Covered Service) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm for a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Non-Covered Service) but that are expected to exceed $50,000 are also subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
All Covered Services, as well as Non-Covered Services that are expected to exceed $50,000, must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair's absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee. Neither pre-approval nor advance notice of Non-Covered Service engagements for which fees are not expected to exceed $50,000 is required; such engagements are to be reported to the Audit Committee monthly.
