Some graphs showing averages of processing http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1historical

You can get held up at any step of the way. Theses are averages of VJ people.

UK forum http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/99-united-kingdom/

You can click on timelines of people still not there yet (with the visa) and get a sense of how long they've been at it.

Sample forms filled out http://www.visajourney.com/content/examples

Read, read, read and don't make any plans for a wedding until you have a visa.

Seconded. Thirded, and fourth...ded.

We made concrete plans for a VERY expensive wedding, and the stress of IF I'd get the visa or not nearly killed me.

I say WE made plans.. but.. yeah.

Good luck ;)
