question about the I-129F "how we met in past 2 years" question.

[iprogrammer 0]

In my answer to this question (#18 on the I-129F) I discussed how we originally met online. I continue to discuss how our relationship evolved. Then I discuss our first in person meeting that was about 4 years ago in the Philippines. Then finally, in about one paragraph, I explain how we met in person within the past two years in Singapore (June 2013). I explained all this in one (full) page.

Does this sound sufficient or should the entire page talk about our recent June 2013 Singapore trip only?

Thanks in advance and good luck with your visas!

Others like to be verbose but I just answered the question asked. I assume that government types have no time to read love poems. But I suppose it s up to you as long as you answer the specific question they asked.

Keep the story short. Send all the evidence needed to prove the relationship is real.

I would go in reverse order, suggesting to you that you focus on the latest trip first.

Why? Someone's got to read that tome - if the 'stuff' they want is in the first paragraph - then they don't have to read to the last one.

I think you are using an OLD form and you should be using the new form where that is question # 34 (A)

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-129f.pdf

But to answer you question about #18 is about having met in person within the past 2 years, USCIS wants to know the circumstances of THAT meeting.

The question isn't asking about the evolution of a relationship.

Remember K-I-S-S.

I believe people can still use the old form (until sept 16, 2013). Some of us don't care for the updated form. it's a little confusing.

Edition Date : The current edition is dated 06/13/13. (USCIS will accept editions dated 06/22/12, 11/23/10, 06/14/10, and 02/19/10 until September 16, 2013. After September 16, 2013, we will only accept the 06/13/13 edition.)

... I guess some people are going to be really confused then come September.
