14 times in 2.5 years! 

 

Budapest - Where we met for the first time
Brussels - We thought it would be a nice city to meet up
Madrid x2 - I’m from Madrid and he came visit
Germany x2 - He was stationed there (he was in the Army) so I visited him and we went to Munich and Nuremberg 
England - I was studying abroad in England and he came visit
Virginia x5 - He currently lives in NOVA so I visited him

New York - Was visiting with friends and he came to see me
Scotland/Ireland - We really wanted to visit these countries, so we thought why not meet up there! This was last month

 

:)

would be 8 times before the interview since Sep 2016. 

I am planning to fly to USA for Xmass and new year i have my valid B1/B2 visa, before flying I would be completing the necessary documents for my K1 interview in mid January  (my travel plans are from 24 Dec to 6 Jan). i hope they wont make any issue at the immigration in USA to let me enter, i would be carrying my home contract and my job contract along with my K1 visa documents to show In case they asked that i am here for  short trip only and i have responsibilities still. i have been to US in June 2019 when our petition was under process (no NOA2 yet) they did not made any issue just basic few questions and I was let to pass through. i hope this time will be the same :) 👲

Here are the results of the survey for the number of visits. I personally always had the understanding that most who are filing had visited once or twice but after seeing the results from this survey my eyes have been opened. Though this is a small sampling I would venture to say that it represents what is truly a representation of the VJ community as a whole. 

 

I thought that being a VWP nation would have a large impact on your visitation, but many of you got around that and found the time and place to meet where that didn't influence your relationship.

 

Some even found time to live together.

 

Over all this opened my eyes and I hope it has been somewhat beneficial if not interesting to see the results for you. Thank you to those who participated.

Have you read the PDF on the first page first post? It gives you everything to track your case file from NOA2 to embassy. It explains why you are where you are in the process. It gives you tips and hacks to follow your file to your embassy. Just need to do a little work, that's all. Good luck with the rest of your journey.

Very interesting results! Thank you for doing the survey. It's nice to see others journeys/visits. 

Edit for your survey though, I lived with my fiancé for 19 months on my 4th visit. Lol.

Very interesting! Our case is pretty different. I met my fiancé when he was working in Jakarta, and got a chance to live together for about a year. It’s only been a little bit over 3 months since we’re apart (because he was repatriated  to the US). He’s going to visit me next month. I’m still waiting to hear back from the embassy for them to schedule my interview but hopefully we can celebrate together by the time he gets here. ☺️
