i have dual citizenship (US and filipino) i went to college in the Philippines 1998...... my best friend introduced me to her brother (now my fiance) weve been together ever since but didnt think of getting married back then because we were still studying.. but now im done and so is he.. so thats a total of almost 9 1/2 years of being together...

jan 2006 i went back to the US to work..

sept 2006 i went back to the Philippines --- of course i spent time with him

dec 2006 he proposed..

jan 2007 i went back here to the US

now heres my question.. in the I-129 form.. it asks to describe how we met within 2 years...

do i put the exact year of when we met which was 1998?

or my last trip to the Philippines??

I think you should basically state what you listed. I know you only have a small space to write these things in; say that you've met while attending college and have been together since 1998 and then say that your most recent visit with him was 4 months from Sept. 2006 - Jan. 2007.

Its easy, but you may find it easier to include a separate sheet. Tell how you originally met, and provide evidence and description for your last meeting. Its up to you to describe any other meetings, its not necessary.

studying in the Philippines for 5 years (i have dual citizenship) wont be a problem when we apply for the fiance visa right?? i read about US recognizing dual citizenship and is ok with it... anyone ever read about not being able to stay long in another country if you dual citizenship??

I met my fiance 15 years ago. He (USC) attached another sheet describing how we met and indicating our meeting in the last two years. He also attached a photocopy of boarding tickets, hotel receipts and our pictures together.
