I went through the K1 route, for them to even LOOK at our application took 9 months. It was 13 months after applying that I finally moved to the US...if I could go back, I would probably look into the other route in more depth. I'm not sure what the average timeline for that is though. However, people seem to be having a lot more (and much faster) luck with the K1 this year.

Yes, you will always have to have proof of income/financial means to support your non american dependent. If you cannot meet the expected standards, you will need to find a co-sponsor who can meet these terms.

Good luck!

Rights now, K1 all the way as CR1 (spouse visas) are taking 12-18 months. Yes, you will need to provide proof of ability to support your fiancé or an eligible co-sponsor (if you consulate accepts co sponsors) .. Read up on the guides here on vJ for k1 or CR1
