just wondering if there are any USC's living with their fiancé(é)s in canada and what you sent with your application to prove your relationship. we sent our townhouse lease dated last june, maybe 2 pictures, a couple recent bills and bank statements with both our names and address on it. we also sent a form from work dated january 2005 that lists me as my fiancé's beneficiary. now we are getting an RFE asking us to prove our relationship . they also want to know when our last meeting was, lol. on top of that, both of our last two residences match and we both work at the same job. does anyone know what more they may want? or did anyone not receive an RFE and if so, what evidence did you include? thanks in advance

I'd suggest that the USC in the relationship write a letter detailing when you first met, when the subsequent meetings were and when you moved in together (stressing that you are living together in Canada) and include all that stuff again (the lease, the mail, dated photos, etc.). The adjudicator might not be on the ball putting 2 and 2 together and might need it spelled out for him/her.

Do you have any proof of boarding passes, flight itineraries, bus tickets, passport stamps, etc. from the USC last crossing into Canada?

no, i moved here back in 2003. i didn't have a passport until canada immigration made me get one for my permanent residency. then they stamped it when i became landed in 2004 and i haven't gotten a stamp since. they don't stamp it for me at the border and i've always driven, so no plane passes or itineraries. i've only been in the u.s. maybe 3 times in the past 3 years, too.

I agree with misa, looks like they kind of missed the obvious on this one. I should say we are doing the spousal visa and we included no proof of relationship (other than our marriage certificate).

Misa brings up a really good point about the USC writing a letter with all details on the I129F it mentions just that:

B. Provide original statements from you and your fiancé(e)whom you plan to marry within 90 days of his or her admission, and copies of any evidence you wish to submit to establish your mutual intent; and etc etc

So sounds like a letter from each of you is really a requirement?

I guess it's a moot point since you are living there (Canada). Just document as much as you can that you live together currently and as per my previous suggestion, document when you first met, your visits, when you moved to Canada (add in a photocopy of your Canadian PR card), etc. because I really think the issue is the adjudicator not piecing together the entire picture. What might seem obvious to you might not be obvious to them. Or, they really just need it written out and signed to put in your file to cover their ###.

And don't forget the letters of intent like trailmix mentioned.

I do not know if this is true or not. But, before I applied, I talked to an immigration lawyer and he was saying that USC has to apply for I-129F in the US. and foreign fiance has to be in his or her home country. I do not know why.

The lawyer was incorrect. The instructions even state where a USC can file if they are living abroad.
