I have not seen my fiancee in slightly more than 2 years. How does this impact our packet?

-Thanks

From what I understand, at the time you applied for your K-1 Visa you must provide proof of having meet in the within the last two years. I have heard from other people who have gone through the process that this is a must. Hopefully someone with more experience will come along and offer their 2 cents worth. Good Luck!

You need to make another trip. Having met in 2 years is required and also the more trips you make are a plus for showing a bona fide relationship.

This is not correct. You must have met in person within the two years preceding filing the I-129F petition. Applying for a visa is something you do after the petition is approved.

If you file a petition without evidence of seeing each other within the past two years, the petition will be denied and there will be no refund of the filing fee.

This OP's petition is approved, so that requirement was met at petition filing. Now the issue will be the bona fides. Not having seen each other for two years by the time of the interview violates no rules but it will make it more difficult to show a bona fide ongoing relationship.

Your petition is already approved, so you must have met the requirement of meeting in person within the past two years. (at the time you filed the petition) Again, now your issue is showing a bona fide ongoing relationship. What evidence can you show at this time?

Yes it was approved (Back then if you look at the timeline) But we discontinued the process right before the medical exam in the process. We are ready to finish this up, which unfortunately for us means start the process over from what I have read. So since we are starting over it has been about 2.5 years since I was last there with her. Of course we have thousands of ongoing emails and such up to the present day but no proof of me actually seeing her in person within two years.

Time to go get proof of meeting and also see if "the shoe still fits".

That is what I meant, when they started the process of the K1 they needed to have meet in the two years previous to starting the process. Myself, like many others I know, say they are "applying for a K1 visa", and not getting all technical saying they are apply for an I-129f then when that gets approved they will apply for the visa. It goes hand in hand I think to most people and they just say K1 Visa.

Looks like you need to make a trip to PI.

I would consider yourself lucky.

The point is, "filing a petition" is not "applying" for anything. Applying for a visa is a later part of the process. So, the issue is "applying" not "petition" vs "K1".

Sorry, I noticed the month but not the year. Yes, to start over, you'll need to visit again first.

Heya guys =D.

I think as long as you've met within two years when you get approval, you're fine -- but you might get a request for more evidence of the relationship. Knight just sent the embassy a hell of a lot of photos, plane ticket stubs, phone bills, even snippets of MSN conversations, not to mention postcards and letters. As long as you bombard them with hefty evidence that makes it very clear that you guys are still a close-knit couple, you're fine. Because of the nature of cultural home issues, Knight won't actually be able to see me again until May, when we'll go back to the US (I last saw him in December 2007).

Hope that helps =D.

Magpie.

/edit:

Oops. I missed the part when you said you hadn't seen her in two and a half years -- I'm afraid you'll have to visit her again.

Thanks for all the replies. I assumed I had to go back again. I just wanted to ensure there was no way around it. I agree with what has been said though about being lucky to go back. I just wanted to start getting the ball rolling again. I guess the next trip will have to be sooner than I had planned

My fiance`& I met December 2010 & we are already applying for I-I29F (K-FIANCEE`)

We been together for almost half a year & the reason i wanted to apply for fiance visa is because I reside in the U.S & Im pregnant with his baby.

With this scenario is it still possible for us to continue our said application, or should we think of other options ?

I would Love for him to be in the U.S by the time im due to give birth . , My due date is December 16 2011 .
