Hello again! OK, I was just wondering about how many passport photos you send with the I-129F, is it 2 or 1? And on average how many photos of the two of us should we provide, I have about 30 right now! I think that might be too much. And are the affidavits necessary if you have a ton of other evidence? Thanks for all your advice!

1 passport pic for each person.

Photos of the 2 of you together are considered secondary evidence so I would include maybe 5 or 6. Keep the majority of them for your interview to prove your relationship.

I assume you re filing for K1, right? What they need at this stage is evidence that you two have met in the last two years. As was mentioned, pictures are secondary evidence. What you need to include is evidence like boarding passes for the flights to see each other. If you don't have those, include the copy of passport stamps. As an example, we showed our IDs from the cruise line with the same date and cabin number and boarding passes for our vacation trip that showed same flight/date and adjoining seats. Anything that shows you two were at the same place at the same time will work. Save proof of on-going relationship (charts, emails, pictures) for the interview. Yes, you can include couple emails/pictures, but don't go overboard. Best of luck and a speedy approval!!!

I sent 6 photos from different times and places for the evidence as meeting along with other things.

Don't forget to write the full name on the back of the passport photos.

Affidavits????

Affidavits????

Probably referring to the Affidavit of Support or the I-134. Which should only be provided for the Interview at the Embassy.

Or the N/A visa process shown on the OP's profile is not a K1 and he's referring to the I-130 list of "should include one or more" evidence list.

This is why profile and timeline data are so important to getting meaningful assistance.

At the petition filing stage of any fiance(e) or spouse visa process, the need for any affidavit of any kind, is quite rare.

Well I thought that but then I thought what would tons of other evidence have to do with the affidavit of support? Perhaps he/she is talking about letters from others who know them as a couple??? If that's the case, then no, you don't need them. If you are meaning original letters of intent... yes, you do need them. Some have been approved without them but some have not.

Really just wanted to clear any confusion as to what is requested as when I answer a question here I always think about everyone else coming to read for their own knowledge ...as that's basically how I learned what I have so far.

I there, yes I was talking about letters from others who know us. My friend went a different route, the C1 I think??? and she had to provide those letters. Thanks for all of the input everyone!

Hello! When you say don't go overboard..well I have probably 40 emails from throughout our relationship at different times and 30 photos and cell phone records of different time periods. I guess that is too much? I just want to make sure they can see that it is genuine. I also have copies of our E-tickets for travel, unfortunately in the beginning we didn't save the actual boarding pass stubs, well I can't find mine! Thanks for all the advice!

Two passport pictures.

We sent 6 pictures of us together with our I-129F. I had originally separated 45 but then decided that since they're all pictures of us, it was better to send only a few. So I sent a few - from our first picture together to the most recent. I tried to find some that were from different locations as well.

We did sent one affidavit, though we didn't need it, because I thought it would be a nice addition. My friend is a really good writer and her letter was beautiful (*sheds a tear .

I suggest sending a little bit of each - that's what we did.

This is what we sent as proof of meeting:

Copy of Brazilian visas from passport

Copy of stamped entries into Brazil

Copy of teaching certificate from Brazil

Copy of both sides of Brazilian residency card with translation

Copy of Flight Coupons and the itinerary from last trip

Receipt from hotel and business card with translation

Pictures (6) from 2004 to 2006

Then I sent 5 e-mails with translations, one phone bill, a copy of an AMEX bill showing I'd bought on-line calling cards, one letter from a friend, copies of a few used calling cards...etc.

Advice about sending a lil bit of everything (two-three emails, couple phone records, etc.) is excellent! What will be most important is the E-tickets - send copies of those. And throw 5-6 pictures into the mix . At this point all they care about is that you guys have actually met. The rest should be forwarded to you SO for the interview.

Yea, you don't have to send proof of ongoing relationship yet. We did because it made me feel better and because it had been two years since we met...so I wanted to show that we were still in a relationship and that I had returned twice to Brasil. Most of what I sent was proof, but I included correspondence as well.

If you have your e-tickets and/or can get some kind of proof from the airlines that's great. It "puts" you in the country. You can also send bank statements with your name on it - showing you were there at the time you said you were.
