I married my Moroccan husband just 2 months after my divorce from my first husband on paper. We had lived separate  for a long time and honestly meeting another person was not even in my mind  which is why I never rushed /
bothered with the divorce papers.  However after I met my now husband, I started the divorce process. This was never an issue with the consulate and my husband got his visa aprox one week after his interview.

After 2 years and 1month visa finally issued alhamdullilah 

I don’t think this would work. Further. The pandemic is really at month 7 , so I think a red flag would be, why didn’t you see him/ her in the 17+ months prior to the pandemic. It’s best to meet again before filing everything.

Have you tried exposure therapy? In this type you would do therapy and then the therapist would go in the airplane with you( not all the way there) but a short flight in the states .  I am not trying to undermine your phobia, but their can be ways to overcome  phobias with hard work and time. It’s not magic, and won’t happen overnight. Just a suggestion as being in a transcontinental relationship, with one person not being able to come here, and the other unable to fly is obviously a lot of extra hurdles. Good luck!

From what I understand, this won’t work. Your marriage has to have ‘ consummation’. .

I’m not sure the exact legal term, but the closet word I would pin It to ‘ have sexual relations’.

The majority of our messages too were not  in English, and we were approved from uscis without needing to translate though everything else ( documents ) we did translate . That aside, as  JFH said focus on other things too and not just these messages . Good luck!
 

Alhamdolillah!! Our visas are finally issued. 10 months from filing to visa issuance and 12 months of staying apart. Thanks to Allah we are looking forward to seeing each other soon. I have updated CEAC record of dates since interview to issuance on my timeline. Will post a review with all the details soon insha'Allah (We had our complications, NOA2 expiring, legal permission for my child and related documents, My child's passport not being ready until after the NOA2 expiry, medical being refused for K2 and then the doctor putting me up for Psychiatric Assessment) Few others too but i'll include that in the review. I have summed up details up here because I was so confused with these things and did not find answers in the Pakistan Forum, hence putting it out in the open in case any one in future goes through any such thing. Had it not been for this forum, it would have been much more of struggle. Thanks to EVERY SINGLE PERSON HERE who has shared their information; You have made it so much easier for the rest of us, newbies especially. Thank you VJ and VJayers, eternally grateful. I am not a pro but any questions regarding ISB embassy/my experience are welcome. And one thing that I have found to be true; I read countless times here from admins and senior members to be truthful and honest with all the information in your petition and throughout, well, BINGO! Thanks again everyone!

Will not be an issue---just look presentable.  Part of becoming a citizen is retaining freedom to continue to rock your culture   Congrats!!  
 
 

But you can’t file until you have been with her in person anyway. You can’t consummate by proxy...

Oh okay then. Thanks for the update, i appreciate it. Let's wait till next week. Have a great weekend.

I was approved same day- also from Texas . I actually called NVC yesterday and they said to call back in another week, they were currently assigning case numbers from petitions they received on 10/21, and they received mine on 11/06. 
Best of luck!!!

I received one too. For a divorce decree even though it was submitted with my original petition. Try not to over stress!
