On the original i129f petition it is required to expain how you met. Wouldn't it be prudent to go back and re-read what you wrote about this and partially base your answer on that?

My fiance got this new form (suplement to I-129F) and it doens't ask you again how you met in person.

So does that mean yes or no?
