Fiance' Visa

10 years ago
The Group here has already helped me on this question but this is an added twist.
It is understood that about 80% of tourist visa's for Filipino females get turned down. I am a US citizen living in the USA and have a Filipino girlfriend. We have not met in person and would like to get to know each other better. If possible, we would like to obtain a Fiance' Visa for her to visit me and stay a maximum period of time. I am available for traveling to the Philippines and participate in the interview process. We will spend about 2 weeks together prior to the interview.

There is a concern based on reading about obtaining a Fiancé' visa which is as follows: In general, the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) and U.S. citizen sponsor must have met in person within the past two years.

The initial application ask the question about if we have met. Based on completing the application the answer is no. Based on when the interview happens, the answer will be yes.

Does anyone have any insight on handling that situation? I am guessing that that I have to answer what is true now for the application. Any help will be appreciated.
