I'm a UK citizen and my fiance is a US citizen. We want to get married in America and settle over there, and after researching this on the net we understand that he has to file a petition I-129F and then that has to be approved before it's passed on to the US Consulate over here.
Has anybody been through this before? How long roughly will it take? It says 6 months or so on the websites, but is this accurate? We obviously don't want to spend aeons apart!
Also, is there anything we need to worry about before we begin? Anything that might blow our chances? He is unemployed right now but searching for a job, and we don't plan to file until he's got a job and has been working in it for a while - for instance, is there any rules about how long he will have had to have been working?
This whole thing is pretty confusing and we really don't want to get it wrong, as we want to be together ASAP.
Any advice or info welcome, thanks in advance
