The last time we were able to be together was in late September of 2007. I just mailed in my I-129F package today (USPS Express next day delivery). Am I too late? Do you think by the time they review my package they will not count any of my photos and travel docs as proof of having met in the last 2 years? I'm a bit worried...

They may/may not - technically you do (based on what you've said) meet the 2-year requirement since the information is true at the time you filed the petition. You will have to wait and see. (you certainly couldn't have waited much longer - cutting things very close, plus there may be questions/concerns at the Consulate/Embassy level.):thumbs:

Another trip prior to the interview may be helpful. Best of luck.

The process should take atleast 3 months (avg of about 6 months). You have ample time to make a trip or two if you want to(and can).

Also, if you are there during the interview, that will be a major plus (as it was for us)

I second that. In fact it's been 16 months, 2 weeks & 5 days (as of today) since we've met and

I'm planning to spend 3 weeks in October with her in Thailand. One of you should make a trip

well before the interview, so that doesn't become an issue in the application process.

Depends. If they go by month, you may be OK. There is a thread just above yours in this forum where a petitioner was denied for being ONE MONTH over the two years. There really is not any "grace period" though I cannot say if they go by exact day or by rounding it off to months.

Another trip is highly recommended for proof of ongoing relationship but will not be considered for the petition process. I would strongly recommend you visit one or more times during the process
