If you met on line

You are fine, do not give it another thought.

Two requirements, 1. Must have met face to face and spent time together within the past two years of filing, and 2. Be legally available to marry.

The other proof comes later.,.,.,refer to the guides section, top of the home page here on this site. It is excellent information.

RapidVisa, this particular visa filing service, is the one making this a requirement. This is NOT what the actual I-129F instructions state and ask for. If you met online at a quit-smoking website, then you would state the name and nature of the site and check NO to it being an IMB. No proof needed that a quit-smoking website is not an IMB. It is obviously not.

The recent RFEs have been coming for those that have simply been putting that they met online without stating exactly what site they met on. They want to know that you did not meet on an IMB site. State the name and nature of the site when filing. If someone met on a dating website that may appear questionable as to its nature, then include the TOS from that site to prove it is not an IMB. Every single couple that met initially online does not need to include proof the site they met was not an IMB. Some are more than obviously not.

They are more interested in how, where and when you met in person face-to-face. You do not even have to state you initially met online anyway. The requirement they are looking for as far as meeting goes is that you met in person within the 2 years prior to filing.

If you met online, you must tell them, looking at the question they seem to class a dating site as a IMB, ( even though it is not) we were advised by our Attorney to disclose how we met initially. If you think about it, you don't just randomly turn up at an airport and meet your Fiancee, something must have happened before you got to that stage. That's what they are interested in and I had to show which website we met on, and the physical address of it. After all that, we had no RFE's and were approved. So in the end it didn't cause a problem telling them, honesty is the best policy.

I have read that they are slowly introducing the IMBRA laws progressively and it may become more stringent as time goes by.

That's what I thought too. We answered No also but Rapid Visa says they will require proof from the web site. This could be over kill but what ever it takes. Guess they want to make sure web site is legitimate?

Anyway congratulations to you guys as I see in your time line!

We met trough dating website and no one ever asked any letters.. By the way, why you use Rapid Visa services (just curious)?
