I visited my fiancee in the summer of 2008 for about seven days. I have evidence of the trip and records of our daily conversations on yahoo messenger along with cards we have sent one another. I have had difficulty making another trip since the first. I have had some financial setbacks recently and I am wondering if it is possible for me to use the evidence I have to get approved or is a second visit really necessary to increase my chances of approval.

:thumbs: Financial setbacks will not exempt you from the 2 year meeting requirement.
