Am I eligible for fiance visa? I went out of status while I was a student in US. My I-94 is marked F1 D/S. Now I want to apply for K1 visa to marry my friend in US. I haven't met her in person yet. I am from India. What are the chances of getting visa. Please help.

With an I-94 that's marked "duration of status" you usually don't start accumulating unlawful presence until an immigration judge or USCIS adjudicator says you're out of status. Did you ever get any formal communication from USCIS that you were out of status, or did you ever appear in front of an immigration judge? If not then don't worry - you'd didn't accumulate any unlawful presence and you shouldn't need a waiver.

Your fiancee can't submit a petition for you until you've both met in person.

Marry a friend? Haven't met in person? Huh?

Your chance of getting a K-1 visa is zero. You and your "friend" must have met in the last two years before the US citizen can petition for a fiance.
