Did you include copies of your boarding cards and stamps in your passport? This is the real evidence that you met in person within the two years preceding the I-129f petition filing.
 
Does your pastor know her/has spoken to her otherwise it is just an attestation of what you have told them.  
 
Whatever your truth is, so that means the right answer is the reason you personally didn’t meet more than once not what someone on an immigration website says is the best thing to say. With immigration always go with the truth.
 
For the Philippines you having been ‘together’ online 11 months is actually quite a long time and a visit of 7 days isn’t the shortest I’ve seen.
 
There are many reasons for USCIS to deny the visa but the petition part is only required to have met in person within the preceding two years and that he petitioner is a US citizen. 

I do not think there will be a problem.  you mention that you met her march last year that is almost a whole year of getting to know each other and establishing a bona-fide relationship. Yes you have only met her once,  meeting in person regardless how long the visit was is required. However  Most important is the relationship. letters gifts, receipts , passport stamps of being there, pictures of you and her and families anything that will help USCIS see the relationship between you and your fiancée 

Example.... Hong Kong is so very far with work school and future financial goals and in this technology rich world we found it possible to maintain and further grow our relationship as we messaged multiple times a day on whatsapp, shared facebook posts many times a day, and video called each other twice a day everyday except on Sundays when we only video called once

That is alittle to much right there. What I did is I did a collage of 6 photos per 8X10 page with 3 pages of photos. I did not do any other those letters because those people have nothing to do with my relationship at all. What happens to me and my fiancé is private.

Simple and getting easier as time passes. For the last two years they don't ask for I-134 for the most part on K1. Don't care about tax  returns, bank statements or letter form work,  and some CO have told people the I-134 was never really ever needed in the first place.
 
My first one was approved in 45 day back in 2008, my last K1 pushing 3 years ago was approved in 30 days, other people who were at California service center was getting approved in like 7 to 10 days.   Philippines has for a long time been the champion of K1 visa approvals. My interview in 2015 was about 4 or 5 questions and boom approved, the CO seemed to be more happy for us then we were, he appeared to be a very cool cat. I figured they would bring up my past K1 applications, not a word was mentioned by him.
 
From my research I would say in 2017 they did around 10,000 K1 visa interviews per year at USEM.  Most people line up at the gate at the US Embassy and fall in line before they let any one enter.  

You seem prepared! It's out of your hands now, just gather more evidences as they show up and try not to worry  Good luck!

You have 3 approved K1 Visa cases from Philippines and you think it's simple already? Precisely how many K1 Visas do you think go through to Manila embassy? 10? 20? It's thousands per year.
 
And every case is unique. The OP has only met his fiancé once for 7 days and is unable to fly into Hong Kong to meet her again in during the process. They met at a Christian dating. Is that exactly what happened in all of your 3 cases? Did the OP mention whether both famillies are aware and approve of their relationship?
 
I'm just trying to help and suggest other evidence of genuine relationship that the OP did not think of, and my belief is that it's better to be fully prepared. Again, especially NOW when the waiting time is ridiculously agonizing.
 
I will leave this mini-discussion at here. Let us focus on helping the OP.

Bro, you are really the only poster on VJ who says that Filipinas have an easy time.
 
And it seriously doesn't matter what is a waste of time or not. For VJ petitioners and beneficiaries who are anxious, it's just best if we prepare everything. I can't promise them all they need is 45 photos as proof of ongoing relationship and they will be approved, can I?
 
I'm from Singapore. The reviews I read is that 3 photos are sufficient. I still prepared a whole bunch of other evidences.
 
The waiting time NOW is way too frustrating and miserable for people to take these silly risks. Better be safe than sorry, yeah?

You should be fine. Manila is one of the easiest places to get a K1 approved.
 
Many cases like you I have seen in the past with approval.

I know technically the I-129f instructions say you only need to prove meeting once in the past two years, I've read that some petitions have been rejected because only meeting in person once may not satisfy the CO to believe that it is a legitimate relationship. Knowing that this may be a weak point in your petition, just be sure moving forward to do whatever you can to prove your relationship is real. This can include more visiting trips (and associated itineraries, passport stamps, flight tickets), receipts of the gifts you've bought, chat and phone logs, postage stamps of letters you've sent, etc
 
Red flags? No, not at all. You met on a dating site, though, so you may want to look through the forums about other cases where couples met on dating sites. You may have to print out the site's TOS and other things to prove that it wasn't a marriage broker.
 
The biggest problem with your petition, imo, is that you may have difficulty in proving a bona fide relationship. It doesn't help that the Philippines is not an easy country to go through. I hope this doesn't contribute to your anxiety. You've already sent in the I-129f, so just make sure in all future documents you send in to dot your i's and cross your t's and provide as much evidence as possible to prove your bona fide relationship, and you should be fine. Good luck!

Suggestions, suggestions. Again, people find themselves in irritating situations everywhere. I don't have affidavits of relationship either, though maybe I should, I don't know. 🤔 My immigrations story is also an irritating one lol.

the best answer is the truth and be honest. it is really okay to meet once.... there's no problem with that as long as you two met each other. 
its a long journey but always pray.. waiting for approval is so frustrating but worth it at the end. 

not at all. I met my fiance in the last week of February 2017 and officially boyfriend and girlfriend in march 6, 2017. we first met in june 18 and got engaged in june 18,2017 the time we first met.  we filled august  for fiance visa. we just met once. and in february 17,2018 our cased was approved. Goodluck. as long as you two met within two years in filing fiance visa youre good to go and as long as you have bonafide relationshiip together so dont worry.

That is so funny . And thank you for your understanding and for giving us your utmost advice. I know this too shall pass. We will make it. 🤞

We understand. I had the weirdest irony. I panicked about the NOA2 taking so long while my petitioner-fiancée was super chill. Now that we are approved, he is freaking out and I am chill when I'm the one having to attend an interview (for good reason though, I take serious things lightly all the time). 
 
This process does things to couples!
