thinking ahead

[dreamingegypt 3]

I recently filed my ki visa application in february. I have not seen my fiance since june 2012. I usualy seen him every year in june, but this year we were thinking of holding off on out yearly trip because we anticipate him being here in sept or october.

Also we wanted to set aside the money we would use to go toward the funds needed for his future AOS.

Will the USCIS look down upon our case if we dont see each other in more than a year?

You meet the 2-year requirement of having met in person, so I don't think it'll be a problem. I haven't seen my fiancé since Sept 2012 and we don't plan on seeing until his K1 interview, hopefully.

Good luck!

Shouldn't be a problem. As long as you meet the two year "having met in person" requirement and have some type of proof of an ongoing relationship, doesn't really matter if you keep on seeing each other in person, so save those Skype logs!

As others have said, you'll be fine as long as you've met in the last two years. That fills the requirement so long as you have call logs/email/etc. to prove the relationship is ongoing.

Bear in mind that him being over here by Sept/Oct is pretty optimistic from a February filer. You'll be lucky to have your NOA2 by September at the current rate and then it's another 2 to 3 months until the visa is in hand.

You've met the requirement for "having met within 2 years" to satisfy the USCIS petition filing.

The consulate or embassy WILL BE another matter entirely. They could give you all kinds of grief as to why there hasn't been a visit in so long.

Failing to visit for so long could, in the worst event, result in the outright refusal of the visa, with months and several thousand dollars of extra expense that would have been completely avoidable. I recommend making even a brief whistle-stop visit soon (thoroughly documented with travel receipts and photos, which you'd bring to the interview and hope they'd be accepted), and being on the consular premises for the eventual interview.

I am in the same situation as you as I just recently filed for the petition and have not seen my fiance since September 2012. I was planning on visiting him this year again but decided not to just like you hoping that he will be here by the end of the year. Good luck to us
