Hi,

One of the key requirements of a K1 visa is that they meet in person at least once within the last 2 years. The only way around this is for religious/cultural reasons, but very difficult to prove from what I've seen.

Being unable to travel due to medical reasons doesn't exempt them from this requirement. The proof they do have will help proof the ongoing relationship part of the petition, but they do need to meet in person at least once.

If she can not travel how is she going to immigrate?

[Kay&Jay 44]

Meet first and apply later.

[sadavis5 46]

If she is the US citizen and the doctor will write a letter explaining why she cannot travel you may be able to get a waiver. Your friend would probably also have to show proof that he cannot travel to the US to meet her. (iex. denied tourist visa). I'm sure there are others on this site that can give much better info than I, but I do know firsthand of a friend of a family member of mine that was able to get a waiver because of a situation similar to this.

Why can't he visit her? They have to meet within the last 2years before filing. Hard to get around. You didn't say who was who and hard to work out so sorry if this is wrong but If she is not the US citizen how will she travel to move if they get visa?

I'm correcting my previous post because I forgot that extreme hardship is also a reason to waive the meeting in person requirement. I just wouldn't know what constitutes extreme hardship for this purpose. If the condition is so serious that you cannot travel, that should count, but you would need a lot of evidence to avoid an RFE or denial of the petition.

Say for example you had to get dialysis, this is something that is very expensive and has to be done every other day, that would be extreme hardship because of having to travel to another country where you might not have access to this or be able to afford the treatment.

there is no waiver as he can travel to meet her.

[Ian H. 207]

The instructions do say that it can be waived due to extreme hardship. I would think that not being able to travel for medical reasons is extreme hardship depending on the condition itself and if it's permanent.

Yes but it goes both ways.

She cannot travel. He can.

They won't be able to get it waived. Because HE can travel still.

Unless he has a magical excuse that would count for extreme hard ship on his part too, then they cannot file for this.

Example- not too long ago there was a couple who had never met. He couldn't travel because he was on dialysis 12 hours a day. Which meant he couldn't travel (He was the USC), and she couldn't travel because she had finished school and her visas to visit were denied.

In the end, they were approved for hardship, got the NOA2, and then were approved at interview because they BOTH couldn't travel.

He needs a LEGIT reason, why he cannot go and visit her.

I'm aware that the beneficiary can travel to meet the requirement as well. However, I assumed that it wasn't a possibility for him to travel otherwise they wouldn't be considering a waiver.

He would need to actually apply for a tourist visa and have proof it is denied to submit with the petition. The OP didn't mention if he had applied for a visa already. If he applies and gets approved then of course he can visit and the requirement is met.

Please please use pronouns correctly.

It's confusing when used incorrectly.

He, him, and his is male

She and her is female

Who exactly are you condescending here...

I'm assuming it's the op, who's first language obviously isn't English.

So if it's confusing to you, I have corrected it.

My friend has not meet with his fiancee due to her doctor not allowing her to travel.

How will they submit the I-129f? Her doctor has already give them letter saying she cannot travel.

They have know each other around 3 years, and they love each other, they want each other, they have facebook history , call history , skype recording and they sent each other parcels.

"they have lot's of proof"

Should they submit petition with lawyer, or themselves or will they not be allowed the I-129f?

please please help me ,,, they are very tense.
