USCIS are asking if me and fiancé met within two years (Feb 2023 - Feb 2025)
We met twice in October 2024 in USA when I was travelling before submitting for a K1 visa (Feb 2025) We didn’t take photos together as didn’t think of needing them but have a few videos from the dates.
We supplied receipts from the dates, travel documentation of me coming into the states but they’re asking as the petitioner and I cannot be seen in the photos (screenshot from video) next to each other.
Due to our cultures and religion we didn’t meet multiple times after and have hotels booked. We had stayed in contact daily since then, planned our engagement, had talks with families over the phone / video call. We then had our engagement recently (November 2025) will this help our cause or not as it’s not within the dates specified by USCIS.
They’re asking for affidavits but stating it’ll hold minimum weight so a waiver is allowed if extreme hardship or we have violated the terms of an K1 due to not meeting.
I am in limbo of what to do and stuck as I don’t want to submit with the new evidence of our engagement and it not matter as it isn’t within the time frame they’re stating.
