I found out that one reason that a person can be denied of a fiancee' visa is the lack of time that the couple has spent together. How much time is sufficient?

My husband (my then fiance) and I was in relationship for 2 years before we filed for K1. It gives us sufficient time to know each other well.

We were together for a year before we filed for K1. Some have only been together a few months. The minimum requirement is to have MET in person in the last two years.

Hi nikmia,

Would you mind if i ask you something? I noticed your timeline and it says you only had 1 day medical exam at St. Lukes? How come it is possible? Can you share with us on how did you request in St. Luke's to have a 1 day medical? :)

My husband and I have known each other for 2 years before we got married. Now, we have been together for 3 years and 5 months and we are still deeply inlove with each other :wub:

My fiance and I are filing in October -- We got together in March of 2004, so by the time we file, it'll have been a little over 4½ years for us. He proposed in 2006, so I/we've been waiting quite awhile! :P

The only doom that's looming is you loving me to death,

So I'll give you a sec to catch your breath.

I'd say it has been a long, long while for you! :P

My fiance & I have been engaged since June 2007...doesn't even feel like it's been that long already. o.O

Denied the first time and was only there with her for one week.

Second time 2 trips. One for 3 weeks and one for a month.

USEM most always asks how many times you met and for how long!!

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!
