Ohh okay. As far as evidence of meeting goes, I have both itineraries for my flight there and back - as well as one boarding pass from my flight there and one boarding pass from my flight back. I have screenshots of our many, many FaceTime calls since I’ve been back (evidence of ongoing relationship). Does that seem sufficient? 

This is not a thing for the I-129F.

 

Have you read the instructions/requirements?

How are they dealing with proof of meeting, being that we've been in a world-wide pandemic since December of 2019?? My fiance left because of Covid early 2020.....

How is who dealing with it?  The requirement to have met once in the two years prior to filing the petition has not changed.

When the I-129F petition is filed, some people include only the minimum requirements.

If USCIS is satisfied, it sends the approved petition to the consulate.

The beneficiary then applies to the consulate for the visa.

The consular phase is a whole different ball game than the USCIS phases.

One example, which my contemporaries and I faced:

The minimum evidence that satisfies USCIS often doesn't satisfy the consulate.

A skeptical consular officer may be inclined to refuse a visa on the basis of petition contents.

 

Therefore:

Those who will be dealing with U.S. consulates in high-fraud countries "front-load" their I-129F.

This means including varying amounts of "evidence of a bona fide relationship" in the petition.

Such evidence can be photos, correspondence, and similar.

USCiS will not care about this extra evidence.

However, it can be crucial for convincing a skeptical consul to grant the visa.

 

Your profile shows the default Armenia as your consulate.

However, you indicate "United Kingdom" elsewhere.

London is not a high-fraud consulate, so you'd need minimal "evidence of bona fide relationship."
