No nope.

Can a fiançé visa be issued to a non-US cit. if he never met his US cit. fiançée in person? They only know each other over phone and internet. Also, the non-US cit. has been denied a non-immigrant visitor visa to come to the US to visit her.

No. Go to visit her then file the petition.

Any boiler plate language about hardship cases is not going to apply

The only exceptions to the 2 year rule are if religious/cultural beliefs or a extremely difficult circumstance would prevent that; that said, it would be up to the couple to demonstrate that conclusively and with a lot and I mean a lot of documentation.

I don't recall seeing anything related to those exceptions in this forum. A visa denial is quite far from a extremely difficult circumstance unless you cannot fly/travel (as it would result in a life/death situation) and the only possible way to meet is if your fiance is the one who would have to travel but she can't secure a visa. Even with that, my first thought for example would be that you could land travel to Canada/Mexico and fiance can travel there.

If the impediment is a visa for the fiance, than you would/could travel to her country, and/or meet in a 3rd country. If your traveling to her country would put you in a dangerous situation, and fiance cannot travel out of her country also for reasons beyond her control (one example is that she could not secure a passport or her leaving the country could put her immediate family in danger); that might be a possible exception.

Economic hardship is not a extremely difficult circumstance either BTW.

Simple answer is NO

The OP has asked lots of questions about various visa types - this one topic is yet another missive, IMO.

Since yer in Syria, it's best to meet up with yer lass in some other country that the two of you can easily get to.

Good Luck, which ever path you two decide.
