Answer by JTM FRAGINAL
Approval of the fiancee visa depends on the answers of the applicant and the fiancee proving their relationship. The issuance of the visa is reasonable time as long as the applicant’s credential and the fiancee was deemed qualified.

that’s faster, 3-6 months is the time line to get approved and have her in the US. Tell him Congratulations!!! (k1 visa)

We were thinking of doing that too, but we prefer to get married here in the Philippines. It’s much better here if you want best venues to have the wedding… (k3 visa)

I would recommend NOLO’s Marriage and Fiancee Visa book. Answers alot of questions in plain english (also has alot of advice for if she is denied after the interview). I used it to get my husband in the country. It took awhile for all of the back and forth to be done, but I was prepared for it because of that book. It’s usually 6 months, but any problems (length of courtship, location of fiancee right now, etc.) can delay it for up to 3 years.

it will take months. i mean it takes forever just to get a visitors visa. but im not sure about the questions, i only no the visitors visa questions. my cousin just came from the phils too, and it was super difficult to get the visa. they will just ask questions that make sure that she is really marrying the guy. make sure that they know questions about each other, like the obvious ones (how does he/she like their coffee? their birthday?) and the stranger ones (how many classes did they take in college? who was their favorite professor and how old was that professor?)
