DUMS2014

Can be 1 week or 10 years....
Just have to meet the requirements as in "meet in person once within previous two years" and be "free and able to marry".
 
Now, that being said, it can depend also what country the beneficiary is from... not all embassies are the same, some are a lot harder than others but that is after the I-129f petition phase with USCIS.

Me and my fiancee have known each other for 3 yrs. Met online in mid 2014. Started our relationship late 2015/early 2016. She visited the US after 5 months, and 5 months later I visited her in the UK. Our evidence included the normal flight itineraries/tickets, receipts from our visits, photos of us together (and with family & friends), copies of our personal greeting cards to one another (Birthdays, Valentine's, & the basic "I love yous" all with our handwritten messages to one another from each card), some of our "milestones" from Instagram posts, and a mountain of Whatsapp & Skype call logs, which shows we've talked/Skyped every day for over a year, multiple times a day, for hours. With our cards for example, we had no idea when we were writing and sending them to each other that we'd use them for evidence. But we used them because it shows we discussed future plans of being together and wanting to being married.  
 
We're both biding our time until our case is reviewed, but we're confident our case is strong and will be approved.

Like others stated above, it really doesn't matter as long as you have intent to marry after your fiance arrives to the US. I knew my fiance for 6 months with 2 trips between that time before we sent in the application and even though we're still in the process I have a lot of evidence showing we're in a true relationship and have true intent to marry after he arrives. I have a lot of evidence that we speak to each others families within Whatsapp and IMO as well. By the time we go to the interview it'll be a year that we've been together.

All pay stubs are technically copies...

Just got my NOA1 yesterday. Sent out on the 27th. Received on the 29th. It seems like they may send them out in bulk as I've noticed a few other folks got theirs at approximately the same time I got mine. I understand what you're feeling.

which service center are you? yeaaaah its so frustrating when you feel like u just wanna be with the love of ur life and it feels like everything is taking long.

Congrats!! One step closer. Goodluck everyone. 

I literally just got a text a minute ago. I am so happy. Thanks

So the dreams have started...
 
I had a dream last night that someone from the CSC texted me and said, even though you have an amazing packet, we need more proof of the relationship...
 
GAHH!! The struggle and hopefully it won't come true!
