I had no trouble. I went to the Philippines between May and July of Last year. I met my fiancee there in the Philippines and I filed for the K-1 just fine. The rule is that you meet in the last two years when you file for a K-1. As long as you have proof of your relationship and the fact that you met should not be a problem. You do have to show something that places you in Philippines within the last two years.

Credit Card Statement, Bank Statement if you withdraw money. Hotel invoice, Ring Invoice if proposed.

Photos of different spots. Make sure that when you send the photos that you put when and where those photos were taken, best if you get a camera that will do a date imprint on the photo.

The fact that you just met is not a problem, plenty of petitioners/beneficiaries have been in the same boat as you.

USCIS and USEM have seen this before, what's important is that you both be "legally free" to marry

and that you met within 2 years of filing the petition.
