In most cases you will need to have met with your fiancé(e) in person at least once in the two years leading up to the filing of the application. There are, however, some exceptions. If you can prove that meeting in person would result in extreme hardship or would violate strict customs of the non-US fiancé(e)’s religion or culture. If you believe you meet the criteria contact us to schedule your consultation with the attorney and find out if it applies to you.
