she can not file, you must meet that requirements. and having not seen each other in 2 years and 4 months will result in a denial

You need to meet again and then file within 2 years of that meeting. Is there any reason why it’s been so long?

You have to meet within 2 years. No way around it.

I said yes because they been known each other for about nine years and is only two years and four months she did not pay him a visit , may be due to financial reasons or whatever , But they are still talking as couples  and do get a lot of things going on between them .

He did not said they are separated or having problems between them .

It's a requirement to have met within the last 2 years. They haven't. He cannot file for her unless they meet again first.

Then you gave the wrong advice.

it does not matter if they separated or had problems, you need to know the correct answers before giving advise, you could have very well cost them time and money.

 

read up and be informed before giving out advice 

@Bob-18 I know that you have upvoted Moses Bee but you are helping spread false information.

You should really read the requirements, because this is completely inaccurate.  Couple must meet within two years prior to filing, unless they qualify for a waiver based on an extreme medical restriction, etc........and the waivers are extremely, extremely rare.

We know you are trying to help but unfortunately you are wrong with this. USCIS is very strict on this requirement. It is not knowing someone for two years, it is physically met in 2 years. There are threads here on VJ where people got denied because they were only a few weeks more that than the 2 year requirement and thought they would still get through.

 

The 2 year meeting in person requirement is one of those requirements you can't skimp on.

@rovan24,

 

You are going to have to meet your fiance again. Your petition will get denied if you file it now.

The K1 requirements are pretty clear, and are not misleading, which includes having to have met in person within 2 years prior to submitting your application. It does not matter if you've been in a relationship for that long, or longer, or have had particular circumstances causing you to have not been together in person during that time - you either have, or you haven't. You can certainly apply if you haven't, but you will be denied, and the application fee is nonrefundable.

[Ben&Zian 4,397]

Two things required for a K-1... Meet WITHIN 2 years physically... and be free and legally able to marry....

 

You have to meet again in person. Then file. Doesn't matter how long you've been in a relationship or known each other.

None of this matters. 

The requirement of a K1 visa is that the couple have to physically be in the same place at least once within 2 years of filing the petition.    You're probably trying to be kind, but you're also dead wrong and should read up on the process and requirements.

Actually the OP didn't say anything about still talking or things going on between them or that they were separated or having problems.  The OP did not elaborate on the status of his relationship at all other than he has not been physically present with his girlfriend in 2 years and 4 months, but they've been a couple for 9 years.   Because he has not been physically present with his girlfriend for over 2 years it would be a waste of money to file the I-129F at this point and have it denied.
