copied from form:

Has your fiancé(e) met and seen you within the two-year period immediately receding the filing of this petition?

--Describe the circumstances under which you met. If you have not personally met each other, explain how the relationship was established. --

#######, wont let me ... ok, basicaly all its says, is ... suppliment form attached ( says more, I just feel like typing :)

So my question is, do we have to state how we met (online) all the times we have seen each other personaly (which is now 5 different times over 2 years ). With nothing specific in the example answer and the question being kinda vague, what specific response are they looking for here ?

Thank you !!!

One of the guiding philosophies behind USCIS forms is economy of information. They have a specific check-list of legal conditions a person must meet - in this case - to meet the basic qualifications for a fiance visa. There are two main requirements for a fiance visa: A ) that both of you be legally free to marry, and B ) that you must have met (i.e. been in the same room at the same time [and ideally have interacted with each other, though that may not technically be legally necessary :)] sometime in the last two years. In addition to your personal and contact information, they usually include as few questions on the forms as necessary to determine that you have met these conditions.

The question you are wondering about is their way of finding out if you meet condition B. This question is frequently completely over stressed and overanalyzed by first time filers. The only thing they are interested in with your answer is that it shows that you have met condition B - that you have been in the same room at the same time as your fiancee sometime in the last two years. Primarily, they are interested in knowing the date when you were in the same room as your fiancee, a description of the room, and perhaps a brief description of how you two got to that room that day :) It is unnecessary to describe in more than the slightest detail what you two were doing in the room, and it is completely unnecessary to describe the complete history of your relationship up until when you two entered the room, nor is it necessary to describe how many times you two had been in a room at the same time before :)

Because of the unfortunate and ambiguous wording of the question - "Describe how you 'met'" - many people write a half-page or more detailing the entire early history of their relationship. But this question can be answered to their complete satisfaction with only 2-3 sentences, detailing the points I listed above: date of the meeting, description of the room in question, and [perhaps] a brief description of how you two got to that particular room that day :)

DON'T PANIC

I think room is used more as a figure of speech than literally having had to meet in a room. Meeting anywhere, a restaurant, a park, a trip and never sharing or being in the same room is required.

In addition to BRIEFLY explaining how the USC and the alien fiance(e) got together in the same location at the same time, you should provide evidence to help establish the credibility of your story. You should list the evidence you are including.

Copies of (used) airline boarding passes

Copy of airline letter or email showing mileage credited to your account for flights to/from place xxxx.

Hotel receipts (preferably with both names) but maybe just the one traveling

ATM receipts from the same city or vicinity where you claim to have met

Restaurant receipts

Photos of you two together - anywhere...preferably more than 1. maybe 2 to 4 with different clothes on over different days

Good luck
