Should my fiancée visit me?

[Robert Estevez 24]

Hello, everyone! I've recently joined this forum and it has been of great help.  I have a particular question and I would like to know what you guys think. 

 

We sent our petition for K-1 visa on August 2nd of this current year and we've not seeing each other since May 2017.  We've noticed the delay for NOA-2 and apparently it'd take until January. My question is: Would it look bad for us to sit and wait until the interview to see each other again? We're currently saving but we don't want this to be something that could be used against us. Thank you in advance.

Editing because I had a senior moment.

 

If you can visit each other, great! If not, it may or may not be a big deal depending on your circumstances, but likely it will not be a problem (example: if the beneficiary is from a MENA country, the more visits, the better).

It would help if you filled out your timeline - different countries tend to think of things differently, plus it will connect with you with others from your area and help with tracking statistics and timelines. 

Your question - it would likely depend on how many times you visited each other before, and if your case has any factors that may make it more difficult - be it from the countries involved, age differences, religious differences, etc. 

 

If you have solid proof of many visits and a long ongoing relationship, it would be fine to wait until the interview (it's difficult, we all know) but if you only had 1 visit with a lot of other factors, more visits may help your case.

Thank you for the fast reply. We could see each other tomorrow if we wanted to but we would rather wait and save more money. My question is more related to if it would be seeing as bad the fact that we can see each other but spent 7 months straight without doing so.

Thank you so much for your advice. We've seen each other 6 times in 2 years. We have everything in our favor since we have proof for every visit and I've known her since I was 15. We share same beliefs and race. I'm 25 she's 22. She's Puerto Rican I'm from Dominican Republic. The waiting is hell but we understand that money is really important since I won't be able to work for about 4 months. We don't want this to be used against us.

No, it won't.
