In order to keep the I-130 active?

[A and T 82]

In order to keep the I-130 petition active for my wife, is their a requirement on how often I must visit her in her country? We are trying to save money but it looks as if this could drag on for years at this point.

As of this month the petition has been filed for 1 year, because i'm an awa filer

There's no such requirement by USCIS that says that you must visit your spouse in order to keep I-130 processing active. But it's more like when beneficiary will be interviewed at the consulate, the immigration officer can ask for proof of your on going marital union, at that point if you guys have met each other than the travel itinerary/boarding pass would be the proof that you guys have met, also some pictures would be helping hand.

But there is no official requirement for meeting each other.

Your trips are good enough.......no need to make another trip. just retain all travel itinerary and boarding passes.
