Little Situation about age.

Let me clarify something......

Couldn't the OP apply now for the I-129F (since they wont care at NOA2 stage if they have met 1 time or 2000) and just make sure he gets another visit in before the interview?

That way they don't have to wait? I'm not saying waiting is not a good idea though, I think it's a GREAT idea...just wondering.

You have to have meet IN PERSON once within the two years PRIOR to filling the I-129F.

Yes. In fact, the more visits, the better it will look. The problem is that you must already be ENGAGED at the time you file the I-129F. They're probably going to look at the length of the relationship up to that point in determining if the relationship conforms to cultural norms. Visits AFTER filing the I-129F are good for evidence of an ongoing relationship, which is also important.
