We filed last week! Our lawyer said it could take up to 6 months for the approval but we are hoping it won't be that long. If you go to this website you can keep track of what day they are processing... https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=Texas ...Just scroll down and you can see the one for the "Petition for Alien Fiance." As of right now they are processing dates that were turned in July 7th. So they are about 3 months behind. Actually, that isn't too bad. Some visas are years behind!
