Five months. I think the sooner the better. Then if the fantasy isn't reality, you don't invest more time.

We did all in one year - 2018! Met on the website called Badoo in March, met in person in Barcelona in September, got married in Arizona in October, and filed for CR1 in November.

She was already in the US, and we met on Match... We had our first date a week or two later... I didn't even think about her immigration status for several weeks and by that time I was head over heals for her... So we sucked it up and started this long, hard process.

The reason I made this pole is, some people are surprised when I tell them I waited one full year before meeting my wife in person. It worked out well for us. I know some people wait longer than that. It all depends on the people and the circumstances at the time I guess. If you haven't met yet feel free to elaborate.

My wife and I met online and first met in person 3 months later, we dated for 11 months, married and were separated by the system for a further 8 months until I moved here

I know poll is closed but my husband and I met on the same day we matched on Tinder. The next day, he accompanied me to the airport as my 3-week long vacation is over. After 2 months, he came to visit me in the Philippines and asked my parents' blessing to marry me :) 

Oh, and my stepson got himself a Filipina girlfriend for himself because he wanted the same care and love I give his dad after being divorced for 20 years. LOL
