Having met in person once in the last two years is all that is required. My fiancee has been in Mexico since July 2010 and I have visited her in September 2010, November 2010, February 2011 (in Cabos San Lucas), May 2011 (met in Europe), and I'm going to visit her again in September of this year.

This is true (other factors being equal) in regard to the I-129F petition. The consular phase is an entirely different matter: multiple visits and time together are important and can be crucial. For Morocco, one visit will almost certainly not be adequate.

20 plus?

I never kept count.

OP -

I agree that meeting one time in person is all that's required to get petition approved. However, at the interview stage, it's a different story. I would say that the more you visit, it helps build evidence for a "bonafide relationship.

Best wishes!

I have seen my fiance a lot over the course of 2+ years.

You have received replies from personal experiences which is what I know you want. You may want to try posting in your region forum to see if you can get responses from peeps that have experience with your specific consulate. Posting this question in the regional forum will probably get you better answers as all consulates are different.

I met my fiance on line a few years ago, we started 'dating' in about ausgust last year and met for the first time in january. we spent two weeks together then i came back to Oz and he filed the petition. so we've only ever spent two weeks together,i havent had my interview yet, its in a couple weeks but its pretty rare to get denied at the Sydney consulate. I know we'll get the visa

I only visited my then fiance, now husband , once and did not have an issue. Morocco is a bit tougher than most, so one thing that I know actually helped us beyond the one visit was that we did wait several months after my visit before applying for the K1 (visit in May 2009, K1 filed Jan 2010). I know they tend to look harshly on couples that have a quick visit then immediately apply for a visa. I recommend looking at some experiences of others out of Casablanca, it really did help us to be prepared. Good luck to you!

One visit for us but almost a year corresponding. My wife speaks English, well educated, smarter than 10 Gringos. Its more than a visit, its a life, trust me USCIS / NVC can and has seen it all. Countrues each have their issues for immigration, T country, Communism, poverty and each consulate has a different outlook on who is acceptable.

Just once for me, but we're talking and typing for at least an hour almost every day (video chat). I hope once is okay for Philippines.
