This a very hard and overwhelming process. Can someone offer any suggestions as to what to do and what visa to apply for if me and my intended have yet to see each other face to face? We Skype constantly etc, but we have yet to visit one another. Due to my work schedule etc it is difficult for me to travel to see him. Please can someone give me insight as to what route we should go so that we can be together?

Both need to get a tourist visa somewhere and meet somewhere.

The main requirement is to meet within the last 2 years. Directly after meeting you can then file.

Some people have tried to get a medical reason that states they cannot travel or religious reasons... I do not know the outcome but I am sure this is a hard requirement to get past.

So your best bet is make each other travel half way and meet somewhere in another country for a week.

Good luck

Many here have your back, overwhelming yes, hard yes, take your time, you must meet. Preferably more than once, Skype, chat, etc, are not enough, take care, go slow. There is no rush. If you push to hard, to fast, you can get burned. Take easy, go nice. Best of luck to you, keep a level head. Be open minded but don't let your brain fall out.
