I just want to say that the wait does not have to be "brutal". Mail it in. Sign up for text or email updates. Mark your calendar for 7 months down the road and forget about it. Don't check your status hoping some act of God got you approved in two week or two months. You are setting yourself up for disappointment every time you log in to check your status. Don't hang on VJ reading about other approvals. There is nothing especially helpful to learn in K1 once you file. Every consulate has different procedures, so learning what somebody "heard" about Manila or Montreal won't help you in another country. If you read about somebody's RFE it will only make you second guess if you made the same mistake on your file. If you hear of fast approvals, you feel cheated. You are choosing to feel bad by reading all that. If you are "misery loves company" kind of person then expect it to feel more brutal than it has to, especially if you are a sensitive, emotional person.

Get on with you normal life knowing in seven months you you can start the next step. Enjoy communicating with your fiancé like you did before engagement. Flirt instead of moaning about the process. Better yet, start learning the next step in your regional forum, not K1 Progress forum. Google "US Embassy [City]" and find your specific K1 instructions. Don't be that person who starts a thread "Approved. Now what?"

That's the best advice I've heard from anyone. I'll certainly be passing that on to my fiancé. It might help him settle down a bit. I read VJ forums as a passing fancy. But the guides are definitely the best help.

Thanks for all the replies. We're staying put with where we are. :)
