That's quick to get engaged... how many trips have you been to see her? I would say a minimum of 3 times myself before applying.. (met mine 3 times, booked the 4 :D )

You're a bit slow compared to others on here :icon_lol:

I think there are many that did the same thing and in the same time frame. I don't believe there is a minimum time frame but you must be able to demonstrate a consistent and developed relationship, communication and intent to marry and stay together. Being able to demonstrate that you have been providing subsistence support to your intended goes a long way also.

You can put you support her, evn if it is just for a few things.

There is no technical limit on when you can apply from what i have read. But you will need good evidence you have met and kept in constant communication.
