That is only a small part of the whole process.  You have no idea as to how long their backlog is or what category of applicants they are interviewing...they could be interviewing people from 2020.

it wont let me add a flag.. before it's not recognizing the city i live in .

Choose GHANA for "country immigrating from". 

You can also "K1" for immigration status. 

You need to click on "edit profile" to change your details. 

Choose the biggest city close to your town in the US if it doesn't recognise your city name.

Your fiance is moving from Ghana to the US. She is immigrating from Ghana. Choose Ghana not USA (for country immigrating from). 

I am not from Korea. But, I am moving from Korea. So- I choose Korea as my flag to get relevant information.

We all understand that. Did you already submit the K-1? Like others have said you are most likely looking at 7-9 months for NOA-2 and then after depends on the embassy.

You already sent the petition so it’s a bit late to ask our opinion….. you have a lot of stuff there that’s not necessary but too late now

Did you read the K-1 guide here on VJ?  Your cover letter shows that you sent an I-134 and financial documents.  Those won't be looked at.   They will be needed at the interview....not before.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

The I-134 isn't required until the embassy stage, so you will have to update that next year when it's time for interview. None of your financials were really required yet, but that's not the big issue. did you include your intent to marry letters? without those you could end up with the petition coming back to you.

Get a comfy chair and wait. It is a long process. As others have said, you don’t know what the people in the embassy were interviewing for, or how long they had to wait for the interview.

The security guard could be a contractor that has no idea of what is going on behind doors. So be patient, get busy with other things and you’ll have your interview… Eventually.
