K-1 VISA APPROVED WITHOUT ACTUALLY MEETING?

[sarah86 8]

This question just came to my mind when I read someone's interview process.

Has anyone here actually been approved a K1 visa without meeting your fiancee in person?

This isnt the case with us thank god, and I know it says in the application if you haven't met in person explain why,

so I'm just curious as to if its possible to get the visa without actually meeting in person.

THANKS:)

I dont see how that would be possible since they ask for proff of having had met in past 2 years. I have seen many peopel get an RFE for this.

It is impossible, unless you are from certain known ethnic groups with longstanding traditions that the pair not meet before marriage (and can document), or that one party is disabled/unable to travel and the other cannot get a tourist visa to their country, and has tried to get one multiple times already (and can document).

The embassy knows Turkish custom. Turkish family are very important for your spouse. You will definitely be denied.

Just want to be nit-picky for a moment to clear up something so there is no confusion about the process and each of the steps in it. The I-129F is not an application, it is a petition. The USC files the petition on behalf of their foreign fiance(e) and once approved grants the foreign fiance(e) the ability to apply for a K-1 visa at the consulate in their country. The I-129F petition requires proof that the couple has met at least once face-to-face in the 2 years prior to filing. Depending on what consulate you will have your interview at, you may need more than one meeting in person to be approved for the actual K-1 visa. It is always best to research about the consulate you will be going through.

I have not met anyone on VJ approved without the 2 year meeting requirement, but I was very, very bored once and read through appeals/ waiver requests and only two were approved of the many I read through:

- One where there was a documented and long standing religious tradition of not meeting at all before marriage, even with chaperones/ family present.

- One where the petitioner was completely unable to travel, even to a nearby country, and the beneficiary was denied 3 tourist visas over 4 years.
