Hi guys,

Me and my girlfriend have had a 3 year relationship. Last year I decisioned to meet her for the first time. This was back in May and we spend a week together. I come back and we decide to get married. We filed in Oct and put together a great I-129F. We got out Noa 1 and of course are waiting for the NOA2. I was wondering is the fact I only once going to hurt me. I make a good living but I do not make the type of money to go back and forth to the Philippines. I would run up a huge credit card bill doing so and I hate those things. Like I said our packet looks great with pcitures of me with her family, and her friends. We traveled to Hong Kong together. We talk on Skype every night. I have shown proof of this. Plus our ages are close to each other (same interests in music and movies). Going into this I was thinking one visit is resonable considering the distance. We would like the end the distances with the K1. LOL

it doesnt matter how many times you visited her as long as you got to see her and took pictures with her so you have the proof that you already met her before you filed the petition.. make sure to keep all the travel tickets of both of you with your name on it, pictures, hotel receipt for evidence.. good luck

The criteria only said that you need to have met for the last 2 years. No number was specified to how many trips you should take. Don't worry about it. You just have to prove that your relationship is genuine by your constant contact via skype, YM, or any means and also through your pictures. I believe that you have a bonafide relationship. Just make the CO see that during the interview. Walk them through your love story ^_^
