All i can say is collect all your evidence early. Follow the instructions that come with the i-129F line by line so you dont miss anything. Front load your petition with evidence of your relationship. See your fiance as many times as possible or if travel cost dont fall into your budget then when you visit try and extend your stay to at least a month at a time get to know your love in person. Organize your paperwork and when it comes time for the interview i recommend if your embassy allows it for the petitioner to accompany their fiance to the interview. All these things we did and we got approved with no RFE and no other issues. But mainly when the time seems to be taking long and you start losing hope that is the time to hold on tighter to the one you love. Dont let the stress of this tear you apart. If you are meant to be a couple it will happen and if you are not then you will only know this by really getting to know each other. Good luck guys and thank you for all the advice. :) Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-129f was approved in 177 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 226 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
