Yes that was a message. What a lot of folks don't seemt to understand is that with international dating and dealing with immigration, all normalcy of a relationship is thrown out the window. You must work within their guidelines and that means being flexible and ensuring your priorities are in the proper place. There is a 90 day window in which to marry, when using the K-1, if there is not enough time to plan the super duper wedding of the universe, then you either don't do that or don't use the K-1.
Supportive families and friends will and must understand. This isn't about them, it's about the international couple.

Hey, wait a minute...didn't you do THE SAME THING?

It is hard to relate for me as we do see each other a lot in person and skype every day. I think this is a problem that you don't. It doesn't matter how strong the feelings are you WILL drift away if you do not see or hear each other every day. I think you should fight for it. I will give you one example: my fiancee from Russia obviously could not come to visit me during this process. I live in San Diego 30 mins away from the boarder with Tijuana. We felt heart-broken because of the distance so I rented apartment for her in Tijuana, she took a live of absence and moved to Tijuana for 3 months. We lived together. I did have to wake up every morning 3:30 to make it in time for work (to cross the boarder) but at least we were together for 3 months. I do not know where your fiancee lives but maybe you can do something similar (Canada or Mexico). Or at least, please, do talk every day! This is important. This is inevitable that you will arguments as this process is very tough. This is a challenge, a true test of your feelings. You have to look inside yourself, and see if you still love him. If you do, I would fight! This process is a true test. I spoke to my fiancee the other night and we agreed that this is good that this process is so long. We did not need to test our feelings but we learned to appreciate each other. Now we know that we will love each other to the rest of our lives and nothing will happen between us. This process helps you to appreciate your other half.

First of all I'd like to thank everyone for the help and advice, you've all definitely pleasantly surprised me with how helpful people can be.
Nich, on the other hand, as I'm sure you get a lot, your attempt at a condescending tone is neither cute nor effective. If you'd stop to read instead of jumping the gun to flamebait with words with supposed negative, condescending connotations like "Mommy," you'd see it was for a medical exam, not a "bride shop." So before you offer your obviously flawed and unmerited supercilious response, try to comprehend a little more.
You also chose to conveniently overlook the offer for employment, as it couldn't further your attempt at demeaning a stranger only asking for polite input. In short, if your advice was accurate, yet your attitude bad, it might have been permissible. The former was obviously not true, based on your deliberate avoidance of important aspects, but the latter obviously is. Thank you anyways, but your "help" is neither wanted nor needed.
As for the rest of you, again, sorry for my brief sidetrack, but thanks everyone for the responses!

YOU are a CR/IR1, NOT a K-1.
Really tired of CR/IR1s trying to compare the 2. Apples and Oranges.
CRs get more background checks, stay longer at NVC etc due to the fact that once everything is finally approved the beneficiary gets a greencard. Among other things.

Meeting/starting your relationship online is fine, however, you need to have met her in person within the last 2 years before you can file the I-129F.

Keep up the pressure and don't give up guys.
The last couple weeks I was noticing some October filers from VSC getting approved. The best I can guess is that a few VSC employees had some boxes with Sept/Oct files in it which is why some October were being approved.
Honestly, I was shocked as all hell to see I was approved. I wasn't expecting it until April at the earliest.

Ok, I'm sick and tired of being nice to you, especially since you continue to spread false information.
SHUT UP!
Contacting your Congress officials DOES NOT DELAY YOUR CASE PERIOD. Senators and Congressman don't even have a clue about your case as STAFFERS trained in dealing with Federal Agencies handle it, as it is THEIR JOB.
I contacted my Congress officials right after I hit 5 months, who are there to represent ME the US Citizen. Do I regret it? No. I waited my 5 months, you waited 3 months and 10 days. Get off your high horse.

Japan is melting down. The middle east is self destructing. The economy is wrecked, gas will be $5 per gallon soon and Obama is golfing. But if you call him about your visa petition I am sure he will drop everything so you can be together with your honey sooner.

Um, no, not really.
There is a reason Congress has such links on their site. As a U.S. citizen, I intend to use ALL avenues open to me when they become open.

Alejandro Mayorkas is a major toolbag and a huge part of the problem at VSC (along with Hillary and Napolitano). Hope to God he gets canned, very very soon.
When you give them an earful on monday, ask for the same ISO you spoke to (if you know his/her name) who said you would have it in 5 days and ###### them out for lying.
The way USCIS acts sickens me. It is their ineptness (among some other agencies) that continues the stereotype that all government workers are lazy and do nothing (a lot are, but a lot also bust their butts everyday to get their jobs done).

Ok first of all dont speak down to me like I'm some ignorant uneducated person ,ok. For your imformation I submitted my petition back in September and did it all my lonely self and I have yet to receive and RFE. I was simply asking asking on USCIS.GOV it says "I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN". That is why I asked because it says Fiance in there.
So please don't come on my posting being rude and trying to treat me like I'm an idiot.
