For VISA, evidence that you have met is sufficient. This is for the embassy mainly to ensure that its not an arranged/force/convenience marriage.

Best Wishes,
Wise words.

From experiences many of us have heard its a good idea to have seen where your mahal is from unless she has left for good.
if you see how the family is in phill it gives you a good idea of what your marrying into.
Having met many of my Wifes family it has given me a greater insight to who she is and is likely to be for the rest of her life.

Im sure you should satisfy requirments.
