Question about "the two people must have met in person within the past two years" rule,

[DAY937 0]

I was wondering about the you must met in person within the past two years ordeal for the K1-Visa process.

My situation is that I met my fiance from Spain online through Myspace Sept 07. Then we start to getting to know each other, and the relationship turn into a love relationship, then met her in June 08 in Europe, then she come to USA to visit in Sept of 08 til Dec 08, then I come to visit her and family in Spain Dec 19, 2008 til Jan 5, 2009 (this was when I ask her to marry me). She's coming again in March of this year (09), then I'm flying back with her to Spain in June of this year 2009.

With the "the two people must have met in person within the past two years" rule, am I eligible to file a petition for the K1 visa for my fiance in July 2009 since from July 07-July 09 we will have met a total of 5 times? Or I have to wait til Sept 2009 to file because that was when we met online Sept of 07?

Thanks for your help.

It says that you should have met once within the past 2 years, not that you have had a relationship for 2 years.

My understanding of that rule is that within the last two years, the ywo of you must have met in person. Thats all that is required. It doesnt matter where you met but you must have proof of meeting in person like passport page with visas of either you visiting s/he, s/he visiting you or the two of you meeting in a third country. Also include photos and plane tickets. Throughout the visits keep your evidence of meeting in person.

I think you fulfil the requirement even now if you wanted to. Others can help out.

Good luck on your journey!!

Thanks for your help.

Success in the visa process requires the ability to read carefully, interpret literally and answer honestly and accurately. This will be critical many times in the process. If your language skills are not sufficient to understand the requirement to meet within the past two years, you are likely to need assistance from somebody with better skills, whether an attorney, friend or family member.

Ive seen this question alot lately, im wondering if maybe ppl are reading the requirment too fast...bc its pretty strait forward.

Jesus pushbrk --- do you need to reply in such a condescending way to the poster? Get off your high horse, that was utterly rude and uncalled for.

I agree...in a nice way he just called the OP illiterate. As i said, its prolly ppl are just reading the requirment too fast and not understanding it to the fullest.

I do agree with reading everything carefully and slowly.

I agree with reading carefully of course - but this process is hard enough on folks to top it off with a welcoming "you are an idiot who cannot read" addendum; don't you think?

i agree 100%

[katiushka 1]

sometimes the simplest answer is the right answer, dont complicate yourself with weird interpretations. I do agree with the post that says you need to know how to read accurately and interpret the right things.

Skill =

1. the ability, coming from one's knowledge, practice, aptitude, etc., to do something well: Carpentry was one of his many skills.

2. competent excellence in performance; expertness; dexterity: The dancers performed with skill.

Literate =

1. able to read and write.

2. having or showing knowledge of literature, writing, etc.; literary; well-read.

Intelligence =

1. The capacity to acquire and apply knowledge.

2. The faculty of thought and reason.

I referred to what I think is quite franky a pretty specialized "skill" not present in quite a large percentage of literate, intelligent people, one that even many college graduates with responsible management and other positions have not yet developed. I made no comment about literacy or intelligence. Those who interpreted otherwise, have not read carefully and interpreted literally.
