The only requirement is that you have met within the last 2 years. My fiance and I only knew each other for 6 months before we filed.

Best of luck! :thumbs:

As in all our cases, the burden is to provide PROOF that is convincing that you are truly a couple (in love) and with the intent to remain together after the foreign partners entrance into the US.

Whether that love is 1 month old or 10 years old matters little (except that the longer relationship has more tangible evidence if they have visited one another).

Very true. That is the most important part. It is about quality not quantity.

Lo que exige es que se hayan conocido personalmente, y se hayan visto al menos una vez durante los 2 años anteriores a la petición.

Y los que no hablan ingles muy bien, como hacemos???...lo hago en español porque existen traductores

Then you ask your questions in the regional forum. It is against the rules to speak in a language other than English in the upper forums.

Google translate: A continuación, hacer sus preguntas en el foro regional. Es en contra de las reglas para hablar en un idioma distinto del Inglés en los foros superior.

You could have met in person the day before filing. The only technical requirement is to have met within the 2 years prior to filing, but you need to be able to show that you have genuine intention to remain together as a married couple, with evidence to prove this and evidence of communication to support your genuine relationship.

Best of luck with your petition.
