Is it possible that my fiancee can have her visa by the end of next month?

Yes, it's also possible for me to win the Powerball Lottery.

In theory it is possible but in reality extremely unlikely.

When and where did you file the I-129F or are you already at the interview stage? (Please post your timeline as it helps people to answer your questions).

If you have just filed the I-129F, consider that there are many many many March applicants still waiting for approval due to the IMBRA fiasco. You would be better off counting on a six month process in the US and if you have just filed the petition, do not make any plans based on approximate processing of the petition or visa - it's just impossible to know what will happen with processing times, security checks, delays and interview dates.

Good luck

I filed with Texas service center.Mailed original I-129F this week. I will update my timeline soon. We have scheduled a wedding October 7th.

These days, to be safe, best to plan on nine months for the whole thing. Again, depending on delays, security checks, interview date delays in her country, could be more, could be less. Do not do not do not plan a wedding date, quit a job, sell a house, break a lease, buy a plane ticket, etc until the visa is in hand. This will avoid a lot of heartache and additional problems.

edit: for an example, from a post just made: "Well, after one year and a month that I stared this process my fiance is finally arriving"

I think you are being a bit optimistic with that date. I think the chances of your fiance having her visa in hand and ready for your wedding (you filed this week) is about 1 in 1 million. This is also taking into consideration that your file will be transferred to the CSC.

Be prepared to change your wedding date. I had hopes for an Octboer wedding and I filed in April...

I had several thoughts along those lines..."Yes, and it will be personally delivered by Santa Claus"

Good Luck DeathKnell...it will come, eventually

Are you kidding me? From April? You must have a criminal record on the IMBRA questions? I have read that that holds up stuff?

Oh I missed that part. To the OP - change the wedding date now. Put it on hold. There is a zero % change you will have an October wedding. Sorry - this process is not that fast and these days, it's taking about 3 times longer than "normal" just on the processing of the petition in the US. Then there are potential delays at the national visa center, getting the fiance packet from the embassy to your fiance, as well as delays in getting her interview date. And nothing is a slam dunk - depending on where she lives, there could be problems or delays at the interview. Sorry.

Read up on IMBRA - that will help you understand more about the current delays and why there are still hundreds of people who filed in MARCH who do not have approvals yet. (The reason for the delays is US government error - not criminal record)

DeathKnell, that was a rather insulting thing to say to Jen, IF you get Visa "in hand" in 6 months you can consider yourself EXTREMELY lucky...

From what I hear, you should expect to wait at least 6 months before your fiance arrives. And that's if you did everything right and don't get a RFE. (5 months if you're lucky or the country's embassy is quicker than others) I'm hoping for a february/march wedding, and I sent everything july 28. don't be too optimistic- otherwise you'll set yourself up for heartache.

Thank you. He clearly has not taken the time to look at other people's timelines around here.
