hello all,

am new to this website and its my first time posting and i need ur advice please..i want to file for my fiance with the i-129 form who is back home in Nigeria, we used to date years back in high school, about 15 yrs ago and we did keep in touch once in a while after i moved to the US,we lost contact and now we are back together and we want to get married, we love each other.we've been keeping in touch via email, phone and webcam through yahoo and skype...the problem is i have not visited home since i left in 2007 and he has never been to the states since i left due to the fact that plane ticket is very expensive and i cannot afford it... is this going to be a problem with immigration since it says on the i-129 form, we have to have met at least within 2 yrs of filing the form? i need advice please. am a US citizen, was born here but lived part of my life in Nigeria.

Not a problem, really, just a complete deal killer. You must have been together in person within the two years preceding the petition filing date. So, plan on filing the petition after your next trip to Nigeria. Be aware that the level of relationship scrutiny increases significantly with the level of fraud commonly experienced at a given consulate. The levels of fraud are.

1. Low

2. Medium

3. High

4. Lagos

You must have been together in person within the two years prior to submit the petition. Maybe you can plan a trip that works for both (in terms of $$$$)
