I met him in Rome 3 months ago when i went for vacation. We fell inlove the first time weve met. During my 15days, stay there, we were inseparable. We travelled together to Paris then back to Rome. When i came back to USA, we continued talking/communicating to each other almost everyday till he proposed few days ago. I know that our relationship is too young (only 3 months to be exact and we are already engaged). Will this cause as a red flag to USCIS? Im afraid that if i file for fiancee visa, they might not approve it coz our relationship is too young. For how long do we have to wait before filing a K-1 visa?

It shouldn't be a problem in itself - there's no minimum wait time.

For the I-129f petition, the things you need to prove are that you have met in the last 2 years, are free to marry and intend to marry one another within 90 days of entering the US on the K1 visa. You will submit documentary evidence of your relationship with the package, so as long as that is solid and shows you are in a genuine relationship, there should be no issue. They will want to see things like passport stamps and boarding passes to show you visited one another, photographs together etc. You can include emails and phone logs to show how regularly you contact one another, too.

If you have none of this evidence, you may wish to visit one another again a couple of times to build up some good evidence before you file.

You can follow this guide to see how to submit the I-129f petition: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide

In terms of time, it takes 4 - 9 months for the I-129f petition to be approved, then another 3 - 5 months on the consulate side (in Italy) to apply for and obtain the K1 visa. Times fluctuate greatly, but you can see the statistics for yourself.
