We met online in April/May of 2010, starting officially dating in January of 2012, and he proposed in January of 2013. We filed our 129F on May 1st, 2013. We probably should have applied sooner, but we were naive about the process and thought it would only take 4-5 months. We wanted time to save up a little extra money, and the consulate sure has given us that time :P

The only real requirement is that you've met at least once in person within 2 years of filing the petition. However, unofficially, in high-fraud countries there seems to be a larger burden of proof on

I've known my fiancé 6 and a half years and we lived together for just over 5 years - we filed after knowing each other for 6. I think you're biggest issue is going to be proving that you're relationship is a real one and that you are truly in love. The time between when you met and when you filed for the petition is so short that it will no doubt raise suspicion. So it's going to be your job to prove the validity of it.
