Had a friend. Wanted to bring his girlfriend over on a fiancee visa. Process took about 18 months. Did not have a happy ending, but that wasn't the government's fault. She showed up eventually. He was an American citizen, born and bred.

Have another friend. Wanted to bring his girlfriend over on a fiancee visa. He paid a lawyer in Beverly Hills $25k and she was here three weeks later. Six weeks later they were married. Oh, and by the way, he wasn't even a citizen. Dual French-Uruguayan citizenship. 01 visa.

So, it's not like there's nothing you can do... it's just likely there's nothing you can afford to do.

AMERICA!
