Re: fiance visas

The rule of thumb is that couple must have met in person within the past two years with very few exceptions. The USCIS considers a fianc�(e) a person who is either engaged OR contracted to be married. Additionally, the marriage must be legally possible in the US where the marriage will take place. You must either fit into the exception or meet. Feel free to contact me for more info.

Re: fiance visas

It will be tough. You can overcome the problem by showing many correspondence and phone calls. You can go now...and come back and apply.

Re: fiance visas

In order to apply for your fiancee, you must have met him/her in person within the last two years before filing for the visa. This requirement can be waived only if meeting your fiancee in person would violate long-established customs, or if the meeting requirement would create extreme hardship for you. I would suggest you contact an attorney immediately to discuss your options. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
