Hi Gelai! :)

I think what you're referring to is that you are supposed to have met each other two years prior to filing the petition. :) I don't think it matters -- I know people who've been together only for a few months before they filed for K1.

Good luck sis. :)

Posted (edited)

It is important that you and your boyfriend have met within two years before you apply a K1 visa and not necessarily that your relationship is within 2 years. Goodluck!

As log as it is WITHIN two years since you have been together in person. You can meet someone in person, even for the first time ever, TODAY and file the petition TOMORROW (or even today)

hi.. i was just confused of something.. is it really necessary that me and my boyfriend have a two years relationship ? please give me an advice ,,, thank you !!!

You need to have met in person within the previous two years of filing the petition. Your relationship does not have to be at least two years old, there is not minimum or maximum as far as how long you've been together as a couple. You just need to have met within the last two years of filing.

Best wishes!

No, you have to have met in person within the last two years prior to filing the petition. The meeting has no time length, just that you met in person and can prove it.
