What do we do if it's been more than two years since we met in person?

[mapo 12]

Because of the giant K1 backlog, our proof of in-person relationship that my fiance needs to bring to the consulate is more than two years old, but it wasn't when our application was approved.

 

What should we do? Is this going to be a problem?

 

It is a very inconvenient time for me to travel back for an in person meeting.

[Dashinka 24,513]

If you cannot travel back, there is not a lot you can do except bring evidence of continuing chats, phone logs, etc.

Good Luck!

[Boiler 45,527]

Well sounds like you are OK as far as the meeting is concerned and meeting the minimum requirements.

 

I can see other issues

2 year in-person meeting requirement is to file the petition not for the interview. However a CO could make a judgement call on the relationship if it's been a while you two have met.

She may not be asked about it at all, but if she is, she's going to need a good answer why she hasn't seen her future husband in person for more than two years. 

 

When's the interview?

It's not scheduled yet, we're finishing our DS-160, but I'm wondering if this is an exercise in futility. I really cannot travel right now.

[Adventine 3,196]

@mapo the only real exercise in futility would be if you don't schedule an interview at all. Nobody here can predict what the CO will think. Maybe your best bet is to schedule an interview date some time from now, when you're more available to travel. Alternatively, you could meet in a third country closer to the US so that you don't spend so much time travelling.

Yes, that's an excellent idea, thank you very much.

Are you giving up on your relationship….or feeling overwhelmed by fear of denial and not sure you have put together a solid packet for her upcoming interview.? Of course it would be great if you could actually fly there to accompany her to the interview itself…but since you cannot, then help her prep/prep ! 
 

Plenty of enthusiastic people here willing to help you with last minute jitters , evidence you may have missed and especially Consulate specific input. 
 

So fire away ….ask 

 

 

 

[mapo 12]

Maybe I should start a new thread for ths, but do any of you know how long we get to fill out the DS-160 after our status changes to READY?

 

I'm worried about our opportunity expiring, we procrastinated a bit last month!

We had a rough patch in our relationship and stopped working on the visa, but we've fixed things now, and we're trying to get back on track.

[mapo 12]

Truth be told, the lockdown was very difficult for us, and almost ended our relationship. It was heartbreaking, but I'm glad it's over.

 

Maybe we're just stubborn, but we're never going to give up on our relationship.

Look at the I-129 F what date was it approved and what is the window. .

We received our notice of approval on 10 May and it's 10 September and the window is 4 months, which means it should expire today if my calculation is correct.

 

Well maybe I'll try to apply anyway and see what happens.

CEAC still shows us as "READY"

[Family 3,991]

ignore my last question, read your old thread. So you do need to complete the DS-160 and next steps as soon as possible 
 

 

No Status" from CEAC???
