Answer 1

nobody can tell you the time that you will wait to receive a visa from the US, it can be from 3 months or much  longer ......

and yes it is normal , alot of items will have to be checked out by the US ,in order to release a visa to you .

i cannot tell you more , for i do not know .

Answer 2

When you write that your fiance is paying somebody to take care of your visa, I hope that you mean that he has paid a US attorney to help with the I-129F fiance petition, NOT that he is paying someone to supposedly help you get a tourist visa.

That would be money thrown away.

If your fiance or his lawyer filed the I-129F with USCIS in April, you can figure that it will take until about the end of the year before the petition is approved and sent to Manila, and your visa interview will be scheduled.  In the meantime, there are some documents you can get started on that will be needed for the interview.

Answer 3

This will help, you can keep checking this site and it will show you what visa's they are working on by dates received which they are working on  Dec. 14, 2006 right now so you have a few months to wait. https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Process...

Answer 4

a month or something

Answer 5

6 months to a year.

Took me 6 months to get my ex from PI to the USA with a fiancee visa.

Word to the wise, don't listen to American women, they will help you ruin your marriage.  Every man I have ever known who has married a foreigner, especially from PI ended in divorce.

Good luck.

Peace
