Never "met in person" - disabled

[AlexJane 2]

Well I see disabled folks on the plane all the time,,,I'm sure Uscis knows that also.

; If you can't fly over, why can't she? You're the one who is disabled, but you shouldn't use the I-129f just to meet each other for the first time. This Visa is for whom who are seriously planning to get married.

Just let her fly over to come see you and see if there is a real connection in real life, since you are unable to fly and see her there.

Good luck!

It's extraordinarily hard for a woman of that country to get a visa, especially if she doesn't own property or has other ties to her country, as previously mentioned.

Eslake, if you are able to do the boat thing, I would very seriously recommend getting married so that you get a CR1 visa instead of a K1. It allows her to work and travel immediately when she gets to the US and you don't have to pay adjustment of status fees later (which upon arrival, she can't work or travel for typically 2-4 months)...much cheaper to do it this way. It only takes an average of 4 weeks longer in processing compared to a K1 as well. I truly wish you the best in finding a way to meet her!

Yes, if they can arrange to both meet and marry on the same trip, there would be several significant advantages that would result.

That may be the case (probably) but if the OP intends to ask for a waiver of meeting in person I would advise he show some good faith effort to meeting in person. This would mean a letter from his doctor saying he cannot travel by any means and a visa denial for his fiancee. THEN he can say..."Look we tried"

writing a letter saying "I can't travel and she can't get a visa" just isn't going to cut it.

...if the OP wants to take a boat out to Indonesia or some sort of 3rd country that they both can get to, then he would be actually meeting her in person and therefore wouldn't have to have a waiver. Why would he go out on a boat otherwise? I just suggested that they get married while on the boat/3rd country for the great advantages of the CR1.
