Number and frequency of visits

[rsns 0]

Hey everyone!

Just wondering what other people's experiences have been regarding this. We just got our NOA2 yesterday. Originally, I had planned to visit my fiancee in India in Oct. and do some pre-wedding celebrations for the satisfaction of our relatives there who will not be able to attend the U.S. wedding. But now with our NOA2 coming earlier than expected, and with the estimated interview time possibly conflicting with those Oct. pre-wedding events, we are thinking of just concentrating on the rest of the visa process right now and having her come here as soon as she gets the visa-- meaning that I will not be going to visit her again.

We met online in Sept. 2010, then met in person for 2 days in India in Nov. 2010; since then of course we've been talking multiple times daily on the phone, and in March 2011 I went to be with her in India for a week, which is also when I "officially" proposed to her. My question is-- if I don't make another visit before her interview, do you think it might hurt her chances of getting the visa? I think I read somewhere that the Delhi consulate will ask questions like, "How come he hasn't visited in so long?"... but she will be at the Mumbai consulate, and I'm not sure if March through Oct. (estimated interview time) counts as being "too long."

Thanks for any info/personal experiences you can give!
