two year meeting requirement

Passport stamp is good. 
 

The reason the photo with her family is not acceptable is that it could have been taken yesterday or 5 years ago. No one knows when it was taken. Although it shows you have met, it doesn’t prove that the meeting took place in the last two years. That’s what they need from you. Understanding why the photo was insufficient might help you with what you can send that would be sufficient. 

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016

Interview: December 6, 2016 London

POE: December 19, 2016 Las Vegas

N-400 filed: September 30, 2019

Interview: March 22, 2021 Seattle

Oath: March 22, 2021 COVID-style same-day oath

 

Now a US citizen!

Passport stamps would be the best, but I would suggest finding something else to show that you were both in the same area at the same time.

Did you stay somewhere together or go to events together? That may help.

Any ATMs used in their country/area?

If you took an Uber (or whatever), that receipt in their area may be better than nothing as well.

 

Photos are nearly impossible to verify a date.

Electronic airline tickets do not mean you ever got on the flight.

Okay so you didn’t show any proof you met within the last 2 years- be happy you got a RFE and not a denial. You need to show your passport stamps, airline tickets, any hotel reservation with your name..all this shows specific dates.

i have hotel receipt , pass port stamp , money transfer to her account from here

on going discussion and hotel booking for engagement in india 

only missing is boarding pass. my only concern is that it has to eb 2 year before filing?

Hotel receipt: Good

Passport stamp: Good

Money transfer to her account: Does not show you met in person within the past 2 years.

Ongoing discussions: Does not show you met in person within the past 2 years.

 

Not sure what the other hotel booking is for...? Is that a future planned trip or something?

 

You're mixing relationship evidence with evidence of meeting within the past 2 years. Focus on what the RFE is asking for.

 

Yes, all evidence of meeting in person to respond to the RFE should be for events that occurred within the 2 years prior to filing the I-129F.

As others already said, you don't have to be together for two years. It only means that the maximum amount of time since you have seen each other in person for the last time has to be no more than two years. You're totally fine with December 2019. You just have to proof to the USCIS that this meeting really has happened.

How many times must it be explained.   WITHIN two years of filing.  So your meeting needed to be between January 2018 and January 2020.  It was, so move on and prove it to the USCIS 

YMMV

what should i provide them for intend to marry? 

1. You stated you provided the intent to marry letters

2.  You didn’t state your RFE asked for intent to marry letters as well

 

You should have similar letters stating your name and that you intend to marry each other within 90 days of entering the USA. Short and sweet- 1 or 2 sentences.

@sashKOT1 Hey mate everyone who has replied have provided some great information; 
When my fiancee submitted our application she provided, all of our passport stamps, all flight itineraries we could find (some have gone walkabout), written and signed statements from family and friends of meeting and saying we are a couple, written and signed statement  of intention from me saying that I wanted to marry her, hotel and travel receipts (which I had in my email we printed those off), receipt of engagement ring, screen grabs of conversation between us speaking about our feelings and relationship and as many photos we could find of us together and with her family (never got any of her with my family) which she put into a pdf file and had every photo timestamp, dated, a small detailed bulb of where the photos were taken, and who was in the photos.

Use the guides on here and the various other ones you can find on the internet and spend some time on looking into how others have been given advice but this very question this site is a gold mine if you give it the time of day.

Best of luck in collecting your evidence and re-submitting your application.

 

Collect the following if possible;

Boarding passes

Flight itineraries

Receipts of when together and of a engagement or wedding ring if you have it

Photos time stamped and dated 

Written and signed statements from friends and family (from both parties) stating the relationship is the real deal.

Proof of regular conversation between the two of you.
