I think most people will agree .You do not need a lot of evidence of meeting in person for k-1.Read the instruction the requirement is having met at least once in the past 2 years of filing I-129f form And a statement of how you met.

The evidence is for proof of your relationship

Some countries are consider high fraud countries so the more you visit the better chance you have

The passport page with the stamps on it, no problem. is there a special way people print this to show that that page is from that passport?

If you are including passport stamps as proof of meeting, you need a copy of the relevant pages in the passport that has the stamps AND a copy of the bio page.

You do not need evident of meeting. A simple staement Stating how you met is all that us needed

You need the evidence for proof of your relationshitp

This is absolutely wrong. You ARE required to submit evidence of your meeting in person within the last 2 years. This evidence has to undoubtedly prove you met in person, not just a simple statement. Things like passport stamps, boarding passes, receipts with date and location, these all prove without a doubt you met in person. Such things as photos, plane tickets, statements of meeting, these all support the primary evidence you submit.

Page 5 of the I-129F instructions:

c. Submit evidence that you and your fiancé(e) have met in person during the 2 years preceding your filing of this petition. Such evidence may include a written statement from you and/or the beneficiary stating the exact date(s) on which you met in person, copy of airline tickets, passport pages, or other evidence showing you and the beneficiary have met in person during the requisite time period.

Notice the word MAY included in the sentence (Such evidence may include a written statement from you and/or the beneficiary stating the exact date(s) on which you met in person, copy of airline tickets, passport pages, or other evidence showing you and the beneficiary have met in person during the requisite time period.) No where does it say must include. So yes a simple statement is all that is require.

The USCIS is only interested in If a person meets the eligibility for the visa and the paper work is done correctly. They do not care how many times a person has met or the circumstance. Now the embassy might want to see more proof of meeting in person.

a person sending in 10 passport stamps just proves a person went to the country. It is the same as a written statement

Line 34 and 34a of the I-129f form only ask if you have met and to describe the circumstances under which you met

Proof of a real relationship is what all the other evidence will prove

Yes I did notice the word MAY. But just because you MAY include something does not mean it will be accepted by USCIS as sufficient evidence of meeting. Yes you MAY include a statement that you met, but as I said earlier that statement by itself is not enough.

RFE's have been issued by USCIS for proof of having met, besides the 'we met blah blah' on the form.

Evidence of having met once within the last 2 years must be included in the

petition, I don't care what "may" or "may not" be submitted, don't submit it and risk a RFE.

How you met to me means where did you first start talking.

Meeting in person is a different issue

my RFE said how did you meet ? if it was a dating site show proof of how you paid for it.

so, i take it how you met means exactly that

thru a friend, on facebook, dating site, etc

You must proof you met face to face the first time (within the last 2 years) even though you put 'on the internet' on the form.

Therefore the boarding pass, hotel receipt, photos etc, is the proof of being in the same spot at the same time.
