My fiancee' and I have been together since May of 2012 and are now in the process applying for his Visa out of Nigeria?

I have been told that unless we have two years of documentation; they will not even consider us serious??? REALLY ????

We talk 3 hrs a day on the phone with millions of emails; and I have already made one trip to his country.

Can anyone tell me please.... of their experiences with this two yr timing question?/

Otherwise I am completing the paperwork and sending in with our deepest prayers!!!!

As i understand is that you met in person within two years to your fiancee, not that you have a relationship of two years, i didnt had two years with my now husband when we file for K1 visa, but we did met in person several times before

I love you Charles forever!!

No No you only have to show you have meet face to face in the last 2 years. And for Nigeria we front-load meaning we present the evidence most take to interview up front so when your petition gets to the embassy the CO gets a full picture of you too.

So gather your evidence Pictures together with friends and family and face time are #1 key evidence for Lagos.

Submit a sampling of chats and emails show your chat, IM skype log and phone log also if you like and all the other fun stuff I-120F package requires.

I know many who have meet got engaged and they meet less than a year ago and were approved. It's about proving you are in a bonafide relationship not longevity.

HELP... IVE NEVER FELT SO LOST!! PLEASE help... Can everyone please tell me of their experiences with the F-1 time allocations? Can I truly go ahead and apply with a year and four mos of constant communications? And I mean emails; heavy monthly phone bills... an 8 day trip to Nigeria that was heaven. I have been told by some people that they will not even take notice of our relationship unless its two years documented??? I am praying they are reading the rules wrong and just basing their opinions on their own relationship. Please respond if you have any information... or knowledge!!

I think you are trying to say you are applying for a K1 visa. F1 is a student visa not fiancé

First of all stop listening to those people giving you misguided information. Everyone is going to come out of nowhere with very stupid advice. There is no limit on how long you have to be in a relationship with someone to apply. The only thing is that you have to prove you are in a relationship and you have seen each other within these 2 years. The people that are giving you this very wrong advice is confusing the 2 year rule. You DO NOT need to have 2 years of a documented relationship. As long as the two of you have seen each other between 2011 and today and you can prove it, you are fine to apply
