You'll receive a letter in the mail with either a request for more information, or a letter with approval. Sit tight, you are only at the beginning :)

Okay, now you are in the system. Sign up for email notification and relax. You have a period of time now when nothing is going to happen. This is the time to start preparing your home for the arrival of your fiancee. You don't want to spend time when she arrives making sure the house is clean and everything is ready for your new life. Make sure you have all the other documents you will need ready to go and spend time looking into the time line for your particular embassy. But, above all, be patient. You are now in the part where you have no control and very little information. Your application is sitting waiting for the mass of others ahead to be completed. In all likelihood, you are looking at mid to late summer for completion of all aspects, depending upon processing in her country also. If you should get a request for evidence (RFE) make sure you get what is requested back quickly.

Good luck, you are just starting a great adventure.
