How long does it take to process a K-1 visa (for fiance) after it's approved in the U.S.?

My petition for my fiance (who's living in China) was approved in early February of 2009. How long will it take for him to receive the instructions? And how long will it take to actually get the visa if everything goes smooth since the time it's been approved?

Approval should be about 6 months after it leaves the USA.... 10 to 12 months total.

Once the USCIS approves the fiance visa the approved petition is forwarded to the National Visa Center for further processing. (You should receive a notice from them.) Once the NVC has completed processing the application and it is ready to be processed by the U.S. embassy abroad the NVC will forward the petition to the appropriate U.S. embassy in China. All of this takes additional time and there is no sure answer as to how long it will take. However, if all goes smoothly it should not take more than 6 months from the time you received your USCIS approval until the time your fiance has visa in hand. Best of luck going forward.

my fiance visa is approve since december 2,2010. its been 6 weeks now me and my fiance is still waiting for what the next thing to do?

My fiance is US and I am British living in Mexico and in the middle of September last, a specialist lawyer who we paid to do the K1 petition sent off the visa application and she said it would take around 5 months which is around now. Would you say that information is correct or can it take longer? She says that around 10th March is the date to expect it.
