Welcome!You are lucky to find this page before even starting K1.

It takes in total around 8 months from the date when you send docs to your interview.

I wish You the best luck and prepare to go through long and hard process.But its worth it!

If he's located in Florida I assume he'll use the VSC, which is the fastest of the service centers. FWIW, I used the VSC when I filed nearly 1 year ago today and my wife's interview was about 3 1/2 months later.

I remember how ecstatic we were when we got our NAO2 -- however, the euphoria lasted only a day or so because after that all our plans and hopes were suddenly very "real." We had to decide if we wanted to be together before the holidays (yes!), how she would exit her job in a way that her employer couldn't use the situation to scam her out of 2 weeks pay (this is very common in Russia and Ukraine, sadly), plus countless other small details.

Good luck and use your processing time as productively as possible by preparing her (and yourself) for your new life together.

Actually, I am pretty sure Florida uses Texas, not Vermont; see http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00048f3d6a1RCRD

Welcome to another Floridian.

Yes, you will send your K-1 to Texas, but it will be processed in California. You can check the processing times for CSC to get a rough idea how long they are taking.

Welcome. Please don't send your I-129F to Texas; that is the old instructions which have not been updated. It will also no longer be processed by CSC, VSC now has jurisdiction.

Yes, I see I was wrong as that has changed too since last month. Looks like the estimated processing time is now 6 months.

Good luck

Welcome to VJ. You will find the guides and people here most helpful. The hardest part of this process will be the separation you will both have until it is complete. But at least you have much to look forward to. Tell Alla to enjoy her last Russian winter for a long time. The winters in Florida are going to be warmer than most of the summers of her life so far.

Congratulations on your engagement and best wishes for a speedy processing.

Absolutely incorrect.

The hardest part of this process will be after the honeymoon period wears off and you start "adjusting" to each other.

(But, that's also when some of the best parts of the process happen as well!!!)

I know, but my honeymoon will last the first 10 years, then we will start the adjusting process

Some of the best parts have already happened, I can not imagine it getting better than this
