Having gone through the process; I blieve the real work starts after your lady arrives here.
In my experience finding a RW is the easy part making a happy marriage is an altogether different story and far more difficult.
There is no hard data; but it is promulgated that about 33% of the K-1 recepients leave without ever getting married.
Another 33% leave within one year of their arrival to USA.
In other words only 33% are still here after one year.
Depending upon who you listen to; the long term ( 5 year or more) is thought to be between 10 to 20%.

May be other people have some more concrete data.

I don't think it's necessarily that they're having bad experiences.  Some guys just aren't altruistic enough to hang around and advise others after they've already gotten everything they wanted out of a discussion area.  I've known some guys personally who dropped out of the Latin board but who are definitely happy.

Keep up with the warnings.  I think some guys need them.
