Hello,

My SO and I are planning to file for a K-1 visa. When I looked at the instructions for the I-129F form, it says you "have met in person within two years before your filing of this petition".

Does this mean that you cannot have met the person further in advance of two years? Or that you have simply met at least once within two years before filing?

I ask because my SO and I met in March 19, 2006, but we have been flying to see each other every four to eight weeks since then. We're wondering if we need to rush and get our paperwork submitted by March 19, 2008.

Thanks,

lhamilt

You only need to have met in person within the last 2 years. If you have met 2 months ago and filed you're ok.

BE WHO YOU ARE AND SAY WHAT YOU FEEL, BECAUSE THOSE WHO MIND DONT MATTER AND THOSE WHO MATTER DONT MIND

YOU CANT CHANGE THE PAST BUT YOU CAN RUIN THE PRESENT BY WORRYING OVER THE FUTURE

TRIP.... OVER LOVE, AND YOU CAN GET UP

FALL.... IN LOVE, AND YOU FALL FOREVER

I DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT, JUST NOT THE ABILITY

LIKE THE MEASLES, LOVE IS MOST DANGEROUS WHEN IT COMES LATER IN LIFE

LIFE IS NOT THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE, ITS THE WAY IT IS

I MAY NOT BE WHERE I WANT TO BE BUT IM SURE NOT WHERE I WAS
