I-129f evidence of relationship question

[Clawren86 5]

Hey everyone.

I just have a quick question. When it comes to the evidence of our relationship in submitting the I-129f forms, I only included the copies of my airline tickets. I have been to see her multiple times. I was wondering if this will be enough or if I should have included photos as well? I am feeling kind of nervous now.

Welcome to the forum.

The K1 Guide says it best:

Documentary Proof of Having Met in Person in the Past Two Years and an Ongoing Relationship:

Use as many of these items are possible. There is no minimum, but the more you can provide the less likely you are that you will receive an RFE. Additionally, please note that providing proof of your ongoing and genuine relationship in this package may benefit you by allowing the consulate to have access to this information prior to them formally contacting the non US Citizen fiance. Many high risk consulates approach cases with a skeptical eye and providing this information early on in the original I-129F package will help them in their preliminary review of your case.

1. Copies of all airline boarding passes, train passes, itineraries, hotel receipts, passport stamps (make sure you can read the dates on the stamps), and other documentary evidence that you have met within the last two years. You may want to highlight or place post-it notes indicating the dates and locations on the copies (to make the adjudication easier) for the person reviewing your file.

2. Color Photo's of you and your fiance(e) together. Make sure you write your names, date, and location on the back of every photo. Provide two to five photo's. If you only have a single copy of the photo, then make a color copy and send that. If it is a digital photo, have it printed at a local photo store such as Walgreens (if at all possible) or if not on a high quality printer. Place photo's in a plastic bag or photo sheet and label the sheet. Note that you may not receive originals of photo's back.

3. The following items will not typically show proof of having met in the last two years however will show proof of an ongoing relationship: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate letters and emails, stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

Good luck on your immigration journey.

We just got our NOA2 yesterday! And we had only sent in one trip's worth of boarding passes (for me and him) and a few black and white photos. I suppose it depends on the consulate...maybe some are stricter than others. But I had interpreted the guide to mean "proof of physically meeting" as just that. Boarding passes are proof. No need to send more stuff and overwhelm the person reviewing your file.

We had three flight confirmations (no boarding passes), and two pictures. Also my fiancé scanned his passport for proof of citizenship, and in there was a immigration stamp from germany

Our NOA1 was on December 30. I see you're at TSC and applied about a month after us...hopefully you hear news soon! I was expecting not to hear for another month or two based on other VJ members, but looks like they got to us quickly. Good luck!
