My son in England and his fiancée here in America have not met within the last two years. Will this affect the filing of their I-129f and if so what can they do about it? Many thanks for any help you can give with this matter.

hi

tell his fiance not to file yet, she has to travel to visit him, then when she comes back file the form

he will be denied because his fiance doesn't qualify, it is a requirement to have met within the last 2 years

Yes, it is a requirement in order for the petition to be approved.

Best thing to do is for them to make arrangements to meet prior to submitting to petition. Preferrably more than once but not critical. Make sure they gather plenty of evidence when they meet.

I believe they have to have met, only those in exceptional circumstances who are unable to meet have to supply a shed load of evidence and prove why they are unable to meet to support their application. That's what I'm led to believe anyway.

I will not look back on this journey with fond memories, but I will look back knowing that every step was worth it, whatever the outcome.

Meeting within the last 2 years is a legal requirement for the petition to be approved. Filing without meeting a legal requirement will result in denial. The best thing they can do is meet, gather the evidence they met and then file the petition shortly afterwards.

That's what me and my fiance did, as we were in the same position!

They have to meet.

UK and USA are easy to fly between, and not as expensive as many other places. Can you explain more as to why they have not met in the last two years?

Decidedly odd.

all caps means you are shouting.

Also you said 'come' to America? Are you in the US already? If you are why don't you petition for him so that he can get to know his girlfriend before marrying her without he pressure of having to marry within 90 days of arriving on the fiancé visa.

It would be a 7-8 year wait if his mother petitions him.

Doh - thought it was a father and that the son was under 21.

Maybe parent can fund visit so they can meet, then take it from there.
