There is virtually no way normal, healthy individuals will convince the USCIS that you are exempt from meeting once in the last two years. You would likely get denied a tourist visa without showing strong ties to Indonesia and while the USCIS will gladly accept your non-refundable $455 visa fee, and reject your case, my suggestion is you find a way to meet. It doesn't even have to be in Indonesia. You can meet in the middle if that is better, but you must meet.

The fiancee process in long, expensive and full of requirements (such as that pesky meeting) and then there will have to be more proof of ongoing relationship and I am not sure meeting once and emailing each other until the interview in Indonesia would meet the qualifications.

VERMONT! I Reject Your Reality...and Substitute My Own!

8 years is a long time. Why hasn't he come to see you?

Tell ur Bf abt this www.visajourney.com and read abt the K-1 procedure.

It will be really hard to covince USCIS That u two are in love for 8 yrs yet He has NEVEr once visited U.

If He really wanted meet to , He should have visited u by any means if if he had to borrow the money from the bank.

Please tell him to visit u b4 filing the K-1.

If he said he cant visit u,...

Good Luck

To echo what others have posted, you will probably not be approved without meeting.

I base this on looking at all the admin decisions over the past couple of years by the USCIS.

Admin Decision

No matter if the USC could not travel, they expected the foreign to travel to the US, or meet in a third country (like Canada or Mexico).

They do not care if you didn't meet in the "home" country, just so that you actually met in the two years of the application.

Plus, you have to have met in two years. Two years, one day doesn't count.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

Meet in person. If not in Indonesia, you can meet in 3rd country. You can meet in Singapore or Hongkong - no need to get visa for Indonesian. It is difficult for Indonesian to get visa to US but not impossible. If you got a good job & asset you left behind, you can get visa to US. Good luck!

not meeting in person is not meeting the requirements and can result in denial

It sounds like you didn't apply for a tourist visa to the U.S. because you didn't want to commit fraud by entering with the intention of marrying. However, if you're filing an I-129F, then you will not be marrying on a tourist visa anyway, so there is no reason why you cannot apply for one. As others have said, if denied, your SO can visit you or you can both meet in a third country.

You really do not have any other options that will not result in a denial.
