Approving a Tenant Online without Meeting in Person

Hi All: I have a prospective tenant who is moving to Port Huron from out of state to start a new job. They (married couple with kids)  submitted their application online which is our normal process, paid the application fee and all the reports (credit, criminal, eviction) look stellar, plus good income with a job at our big hospital in town. Should I approve their application even though I haven't met them yet face to face? Just to add, I currently have another couple who are good tenants that I approved a year ago although I had only met the wife and daughter since the husband was still on his military base in another state and that worked out with no problems (I figured I could always complain to his CO if there were problems but you never know). Just wondering if I'm missing anything... Thanks
