Q: When can I file the petition for the K1 visa?
I met my girlfriend now fiance back in august 2019, when can I petition for the K1 visa? We have already met twice.
A:
If you have already met in person and you meet the other requirements, you can file as soon as you are ready.
You should speak to an experience attorney to review the rest of your qualifications.
Kyndra L Mulder agrees with this answer
A: If you meet all other requirements you may file immediately. US Consulates have resumed interviews and the process may be done electronically.

A: If you meet all other requirements you may file at any time. The US consulates have resumed interviews and the process may be done electronically.
A: If you can show that you have met her within 2 years of applying, then as long as you meet the other requirements, you can apply now.
A: As the saying goes, "There's no time like the present." - particularly given the requirement that you and your fiancée have met physically at least once during the 2 year period immediately preceding the filing of your Petition for Fiancé(e). Consider scheduling a consultation with a competent and experienced immigration attorney who can evaluate your case to make sure there are no pitfalls. Many attorneys during the COVID-19 pandemic are offering online video consultations (via Skype, Zoom, etc.).
