Huh? Yes it is. Unless he quits his job which is a major inconvenience since you need money to be able to be the sole sponsor 

Lack of money or time off to travel to build a relationship as an excuse won’t fly with the embassy.

these CO's have seen ppl with 4 visits+ within that timeframe and all petitioners have to keep their job to petition for someone. so your reason isn't valid

 

im assuming OP visited once b4 filling the I-129F meet the "visit within 2yr criteria" and did not visit AT ALL during the long 8month stretch till the interview. And the reason was because your job. It doesn't look look serious enough

like everyone else suggested, best go with the CR1 route. Why wait another 8-10months to find out if you get denied again. the consulate keep track of individuals who got denied previously. very bad idea to re-file K1

 

1 visit you made within the K1 timeline is a very poor indication of a serious relationship. And you not being able to take time off isn't an excuse of why you couldn't take more trips

I work in a casino where I can't just take time off anytime I want to. I get enough vacation for about two weeks a year to visit. I went back again and used up my vacation for the year already, I'll be at the  next interview and that's because I've already talked to my boss and the entire trip for the interview is unpaid time off. 

 

Like someone mentioned, I can quit my job and go there for a month or two, and than what? I would need to find a co sponsor to even file. Just because I don't have the luxury of taking off whenever I want to, doesn't mean our relationship is any less serious over anyone else's.

Financial means and the ability to get time off are relevant personally for how often you can see each other.

However, they don't have a meaning for immigration purposes. COs are not concerned about one's ability to take off work or not.

I understand and I am not arguing against it. I'm only responding to questions about going once before filing the first time. I just don't feel it should be a good gauge of how serious someone is, but at the same time, I understand the CO side of it.
