The short answer is no.

The only way you can get an exception to the rule is if you can prove excruciating circumstances or because of religious beliefs that prevent a meeting in person.

You can always meet in some place other than the US. Find a common ground where you both can obtains visas or are allowed to enter and meet each other there. The world has a large area of meeting places.

Can a fiançé visa be issued to a non-US cit. if he never met his US cit. fiançée in person? They only know each other over phone and internet. Also, the non-US cit. has been denied a non-immigrant visitor visa to come to the US to visit her.

No. One of the requirement for a fiance visa (K-1) is that the couple must have met within the last two years before filing the petition.

Since the non-US citizen can't travel to the US, is there a reason why the US citizen can travel to met her fiance?

In general, no. There are a few exceptions, but is highly unlikely YOU , the USCitizen, would qualify for that waiver.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

If the non USC can't get a visa to meet in the US then the USC can meet the fiance to be in their country or they can meet in a third country. Meeting in person once will allow you to file the petition but in many places it will take more than one trip for a decent chance of approval.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

:P

Or even two years

Geez, you don't have to be so technical! :P

I just really love this idea of getting married to someone I never met. Hey, I haven't even held your hand, but I want to spend the rest of my life with you! I haven't even smelled your breath, but I know I want to kiss you long and deep.

Sorry for the sarcasm, it's the Trader Joes 2012 9.5% Vintage Ale talking.
