ok, All of my fiance's papers are clear, no criminal records, no medical problems. He told me, what they told him. Now my question is, how long might it take for the papers to be received by USCIS? Does anyone know?
Here it is some more helpful information found:
Possible problems
The K-1 visa is a highly reliable visa if done correctly. Nonetheless, about half of fiancees fail to receive their visa on the day of interview (our firm has a 97% success rate for first day issuance, and 100% eventual success). Failure to issue the visa on the day of the interview can lead to lengthy and grueling delays (we have to go through it every once in a while ourselves, and, believe us, it is not pleasant), and possible denial or return of the petition to the USCIS for "administrative review" and possible revocation. Some of the more common issues that can lead, alone or in combination with other problems, to a denial/failure to issue are:
1. Missing documents
2. Incorrect paperwork
3. Insufficient income/savings of the U.S. citizen sponsor
4. Very large age difference between the couple
5. Fiancee can not obtain written consent from the ex-husband for their child to leave the country
6. Poor English skills of fiancee
7. Couple hasn't spent enough time together in person
8. Couple lacks sufficient evidence of recent day-to-day contact
9. Fiancee interviews poorly and the consul doubts that there is a bona fide relationship with the U.S. citizen
10. Fiancee has relatives or friends in the U.S. who seem to be taking too large a role in match-making
11. Fiancee was previously in the U.S. and overstayed the visa
12. The U.S. citizen has previously sponsored a foreign national for a green card and the U.S. citizen can not prove that the foreign citizen maintained lawful status
13. Fiancee has a criminal record
14. Fiancee has a serious, contagious illness (such as AIDS, tuberculosis, etc.)
15. Fiancee commits a misrepresentation during the interview (or so it seems to the interviewing officer)
16. Petition includes a document that is deemed to be fraudulent
As a general question, the first five problems listed above will result in the Embassy holding the case to see if the petitioner and/or beneficiary can cure the problem with additional documentation or through a second interview. If they fail to do so, the case is sent back to the USCIS. Delays in such cases typically are measured in weeks rather than in months.
Problems 6 through 10 above, which controvert the genuineness of the relationship between the couple, are typically sent back to the USCIS for administrative review/revocation or are sent to the Embassy's Anti-Fraud Unit, which will assign an investigator to go to the fiancee's home town and interview friends and neighbors to get a better idea of whether the couple's engagement is for real. Delays in such cases typically exceed six months.
Problems 11 through 16 above involve issues that render the beneficiary excludible from the U.S. as a matter of law. In some cases, however, the Embassy will entertain an argument on the facts that the beneficiary is not excludible (we have done this, for example, with clients that had a criminal conviction that we were able to convince the Embassy was not a crime of "moral turpitude" as defined by the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act). If the Embassy decides that the beneficiary is excludible, an "extreme hardship" waiver is usually available, although such waivers can be difficult to obtain. The typical I-601 Application for an "extreme hardship" waiver takes four to six months to process.

"You did not get a denial, you got an RFE. You did not go to an interview, you went to a biometrics appointment.
You do not understand the process and have no clue what you are doing so it is no surprise you have not submitted what they need. Stop now and read the guides here and the instructions before answering the RFE because that will be very important. If you are not capable of understanding this, then I suggest you pay someone who does.
Children are not a requirement in any way. That is a suggested type of evidence. Read, study, or get help."
