Could ya'll proofread this for me?

And provide documentary evidence of this in-person meeting within the two year time period before sending the petition. If you describe an in-person meeting that happened many years ago, it doesn't help demonstrate fulfilling this requirement. Failure to demonstrate this is one of the most common reasons for RFEs and denials of K-1 I-129F petitions.

Okay... so... as I see it, I have to describe how we initially bumped into each other, his October 2005 visit, and his December 2005 visit as that's our story. I can submit documentary evidence of his December 2005 visit ONLY as they only need proof of one in-person meeting, the rest of the story is just for them to get the big picture. So I'm safe sending documentary evidence of his December 2005 visit ONLY... even though I mention another visit in there that I send no documentary evidence of. Is that right? I feel like they'd need evidence to back up both visits, but I'm sure hoping that feeling is wrong because the only proof I have of his October 2005 visit is his translated e-mail flight itinerary, 3 baggage stickers, passport stamp, and 3 photos - that's it. Not even boarding passes. I have what I think is enough for his December 2005 visit, it's just that October 2005 visit that lacks evidence.

Shoot I need to wake up in a little over 6 hours. I'm off to bed for real this time. I'm gonna be tired tomorrow. Whoops.

Yes, send only documentation of the Dec 05 visit if that's what you've got. (And that's all they care about.)

Question 18 is a chance to tell them that your relationship is real. They will know that he is free to marry, and as far as I know, being a friar does not LEGALLY prohibit you from marrying--only in the church--and thank god for separation of church and state.

Don't worry about that.

The evidence is to prove you met in the last 2 years. You do not need to prove you met every time you say you did in Q18. Just in the last 2 years.

Hey, look who didn't go to bed. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, made my lunch, and came back here before going to bed. And now, having read that, I finally feel better and can go to sleep. Thanks Alex+R! I'll have to shoot for putting the petition in the mail Tuesday now... but better Tuesday with a correctly written answer to Q18 than Monday with a badly written one. I'll re-write it tomorrow, check everything over, package it all up, and send it out Tuesday.

And thanks to you all for having patience with my thick skull. I can be rather dense at times.

My fiancee and I are into the video games. Final Fantasy, to be precise.

Best of luck to you both.
