Six months. We had issues with one of the police certificates (we were never able to obtain it in the end).

I did in a month (outland )
guess it is depending on how long it would take to get all docs and translated /notarized it.

filling out forms and getting all proof for relationship took 2 weeks.

Filling out the forms and compiling the documents took about three weeks. This does not include waiting time for the processing of documents like the marriage certificate, marriage search, etc.

5, almost 6 months. Had the paperwork done pretty quickly but FBI police clearance took 4 months and I was pretty short on money for medical exam, so we waited and did that last.
We visited each other every month too so I had to keep updating everything frequently.
