It is the year that or when i met you.
Why is 'It is the year when i met you in the USA' right?
Can we say ' It is the year that/which i met you in the USA'?
Or other way like,
It is that year I met you there.
Thank you.

You can use "when" or "that" but "which" really requires a preposition: It is the year ( when / that / in which ) I met you in the USA . The relativised element functions as an adjunct of time: I met you in year x in the USA (or I met you in the USA in year x ). You can omit the relativised element - it's optional here since it does not function as the subject of the relative clause.
