One of the basic requirements of the K1 Visa is that the U.S. citizen and the foreign fiance(e) must meet in person within two years before filing the petition.

People take pictures to capture moments. Photographs of the two of you together are very significant in the petition. Moreover, it is helpful to include pictures of both of you with family members and friends.
Purchase receipts may be used to establish that you have visited your fiance(e). Credit card transactions records also help to show that you have met. Keep receipts and transactions from hotels, restaurants, resorts, airlines or other commercial businesses. If possible, get separate receipts for each of you from the same place at the same time with your name on it.
Travel documents are helpful to establish that you were both in the same place at the same time. Boarding passes, itineraries, passport stamps, airline tickets, even terminal fee receipts, baggage claim checks, and travel tax receipts are worth including in the petition.
Any form of communication like snail mails, recorded chats, or e-mails that you have in discussing plans of visit may also be enclosed in the petition.
You don't spend money only once in the entire visa process.The three major costs consist of the fee in filing the petition, payment for the medical exam, and the non-immigrant visa application fee. "Minor" expenses hopefully can't pinch you-- such as airfare and hotel expenditure when your fiance(e) travels for the medical exam and the interview. Producing copies and sending documents to each other count, too. Be ready to provide adequate budget.
The K1 Visa process could become a piece of cake if you have been preparing for it since day one.
