when reading the forms (i.e. the I-129F) they alawys say things like these:

18. Has your fiancé(e) met and seen you within the two-year period immediately receding the filing of this petition?

B.

You and your fiancé(e) intend to marry within 90 daysof your fiancé(e) entering the United States, and areboth free to marry, and have met in person within twoyears before your filing of this petition unless:

DOES THAT MEAN THAT IF WE MET FIVE YEARS AGO WE ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE K1 VISA? EVEN IF I HAVE PROOF THAT WE HAVE BEEN TOGHETHER DURING ALL THIS TIME?

PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO DO COUSE Y REALLY WANT MY BABY WITH ME.

THANKZ AND GOOD LUCK 2 ALL

They want to know when was the last time you saw them not the first time. Just provide them with proof that you have seen each other less than 2 years ago. Like photos together that have dates printed on them, airline tickets, sales receipts showing that you were in their home city less than 2 years ago, Passport page showing an exit stamp from their country from less than 2 years ago.

Dont forget to start a timeline: :time:

The forms are posted in the Guides section of this site: :guides:

And the newest ones are here: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/index.htm

It is best to use the ones on VJ site for guides to how to fill them out but get the newest ones from USCIS

Just so that you know. The links to the various forms in the 'Downloads' tab at the top of the page here on VJ are linked directly to the forms on the USCIS site.

Use Q18 to describe in some detail of how you met, focusing on the 2 year period prior to filing as this is what you need to show in order for the petition to be eligible. By all means mention how long you have been together, but dont lose sight of the requirement. The evidence you then submit should support those details. Boarding passes, passport stamps, hotel/credit card receipts, rental receipts if ever lived together etc etc are primary evidence. Also look outside of the box for evidence that is pertinent of your circumstances. Photos are secondary which support the primary evidence. What you should be aiming for is creating an image in the minds eye of the adjudicator........strong selective evidence that along with the your response to Q18, completes a picture.

All the best to you on your journey.

I get the impression you have been living in the UK. Are you still? If so you may look at DCF it may be the fastest route for you. That is get married in the UK then file for the Visa directly at the consulate. Check the Consulate reviews and at the Consulate to see if thay can do this.

The I-129F and associated forms get sent to the USCIS Service Center that serves the region in the USA where you last lived, not the embassy.
