The statement of how we met in person? Is this asking how we initially met or the first time we met in person?

My fiance and I met through social media, and I want to know if on my statement I should put how we met each other or when we met each other in person. Confused!! Thank you!

Any one time meeting in person within two years prior to the filing.

I assume that you're referring to number 34a on the I-129 F form . Your relationship was initiated through social media therefore you should indicate so. Your contact on social meeting gave you purpose for traveling to the DR was to meet him. Without the contact via social media you would have not traveled to the DR to meet him. Just write a brief summary about the development of your relationship. My explanation was a single paragraph. As the poster above indicated the meeting would fulfill the requirements for meeting in person two years before the petition is filed.

Exactly this. We wrote something like "we met online in November 2011 and met in person for the first time in Houston in March 2012."

USCIS wants to know about how you met in person, as having met in person within the past two years is a requirement.
