Hello My Name is Gilda and I first wanted to say that this website is so informative and gives me the strength to continue on the journey on waiting for approval of my I-129f. I recieved my NO1 letter January 24, 2011. I know it is still very soon to start saying that this process takes a long time but I have been in this relationship for almost two years so maybe then you can understand. You may ask why I waited so long after he proposed in June 2010 to send out the packet but this is a very important decision and that is why I waited till after my mom met my fiancee and new this is what I wanted. All the information you guys put on here is great. I will make sure to fill you in on updates in my case as soon as I get them. Good luck to everyone still waiting. Our time will come!

Yea, you're fine. Unfortunately, the processing times have increased and it may take between 4-6 months just to have you peitition approved (NOA2). Just 1 year ago my finacee received her visa in a total of 6 months. Just continue to research on what steps are next, continue to gather evidence of an ongoing authentic relationship and try to be patient, although this process is stressful and frustrating. If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

Also, continue to check the timelines to get a sense of where your case is compared to other people.
