I’ll chime in. My fiancée and I have been in a long distance relationship for almost 10 years. We waited over 2 years for the B1/B2 Visa appointment only to have it rejected in 8/2022. We then started down the path of going for a K1 Visa. We hired another company to assist. We submitted our paperwork in 8/2023 for the !-129 and got our approval 03/2024. Now we are at that stage where we have been waiting for the Embassy Instructions. We are ready with the required docs, well, my point being, don’t spin the wheels on a B1/B2 if that is even a consideration. I have found a lot of helpful information here, but in the long run, going for a K1 or the other one is the way to go. IMHO, paying the money for competent help is $$ well spent. Out of respect for Visa Journey I will not publicly name who we used, as I did not find this site until recently and it seems that there is a lot more help to be found here in the forums and that probably carries over to the paid services provided. Best of luck, the journey isn’t easy, but so worth it.
