Immigration Update: The waiting game

Well everybody, the real waiting game has begun! I was notified today by the lawyer that the government received our "Petition for an Alien Fiance". (Actually, according to the online system it says the government received in on June 4.)

The current processing timeline says that its taking 8 months at the USCIS-United States Center for Immigration Services. After that, it goes somewhere else for a month, then hangs out in Turkey for a few months. So I guess this could take a awhile longer than we originally planned. But we're on our way...
