Should I submit evidence that may raise other questions

[Michael n Susan 0]

My fiancée and I just finished a wonderful vacation of 43 days touring China and we’re in the process of preparing the K1 package.

My question is whether I should submit the ticket stubs of the many tourist attractions we visited while in China. The reason I’m asking is because my fiancée is a tour guide in China and being so is granted free entry to almost all the attractions we visited by showing her tour guide badge. I’m concerned if I submit the ticket stubs as evidence it will raise more questions even if I explain why there is only one ticket to most attractions.

I’m thinking that maybe we shouldn’t submit the tickets to avoid a RFE and any delay's since we have several photo’s of my fiancée and myself together while visiting all the attractions plus the usual evidence of meeting in person and showing an ongoing relationship e.g. copies of airline boarding passes, train passes, itineraries, hotel receipts, passport stamps, phone bills, Yahoo voice logs, emails, chat logs, letters, poems to each other, credit card statements of purchases made in China, as well as airline tickets back to China in January 2009 to visit her and vacation in Shanghai.

Any suggestions or comments are welcomed.

Thank you in advanced.

Yes, I'd skip the ticket stubs for attractions. You can save the ongoing relationship for the interview. All you're proving with the petition filing is that you met in person at least once in the past two years. Your list through "passport stamps" is good. Save the rest.

Thank you for your reply, but I have another question.

I am a little confused because the Visa Journey I-129F sample cover letter shows to (optionally) include proof of an on-going relationship as part of the petition filing.

Is it better to include this proof now or do you think it makes the petition more confusing? I just want everything to go smoothly and without any delays.

Thanks again

I would only include relationship evidence if there were red flags to address. The best evidence is always time together. Sounds like you have plenty of that.

It sounds like you have plenty of other evidence to support your application. If it worries you, leave the ticket stubs out for peace of mind. The USCIS won't exactly say "But wait! Where are the tourist attraction ticket stubs?!" You'll be just fine

I'd say, your fiancee may need to photocopy her tour guide card along with her at the interview if you want to include your tour tickets as additional evidence.

[JeroenAndMichelle 28]

like others said, you already have enough proof..

all we have send to them were 3 photo's, 2 plane tickets and the stamps in our passport.. that was it and we got approved without any problem

besides, you might want to keep some evidence for the interview itself =)

try not to put all of your eggs in one basket or you will get burned.

Thank you all for the great advice. I think it's a good idea to save some evidence for the interview.

[KimandRuss 0]

...especially in China.

[YuAndDan 153]

Your evidence meets the required meeting in person evidence.

Note, pictures together, pictures of you with family, are good to include.

Also if there is any doubt of "Bona fide relationship" you should add evidence up front "Front-Load" the I-129F petition to overcome any problem that may come up at interview.
