Remove the Physical Meeting requirement from the K-1 Visa application and replace with with "substantial communication."

The United States of America should readdress its policy of requiring that a petitioner and beneficiary of a K-1 visa physically meet prior to getting the visa approved. A bona-fide relationship and bona-fide intent to marry can be ascertained without a requirement for the couple to have physically met. This requirement is especially harsh and discriminatory for immigrant beneficiaries in African countries where B-2 visas are routinely denied and the countries/states are on the Department of State restricted travel warning lists. One can never really establish knowledge or true intent of a partner or spouse until several years into a marriage. even in the even where the couple has lived in close proximity of one another. The invention of video chat made the subject mandate archaic.
