What is a normal waiting time for an applicant intending to get IV through his/her (a) citizen fiancee/fiance (b) Green Card holding fiancee/fiance?
If the petitioner in the US is a citizen, then the fiancee/fiance in India may qualify for a K-1 visa, popularly known as the fiancee visa. With this, the applicant goes as a non-immigrant and within 90 days of reaching America, he or she has to get married to the petitioner and become an immigrant. The US Consul will, however, determine whether the concerned couple have in fact met before in India or the US and that their engagement was genuine. In case the petitioner in the US is a Green Card holder, new NIV ‘V’ visa should be applied. See Chapter IV of GATEWAY TO AMERICA for details.
