Wish I would have saved....

[JAPrincess 27]

So my journey is in it's infancy...

And I am not the most organized person

What kinds of things should I save as proof of our relationship?

Are there things you wish you would have saved?

Are there things you wish you would have saved?

First off, I would recommend filling out your timeline

If yours is a K-1 visa, then start saving phone bills, letters, e-mails, receipts for engagement rings, plane tickets, etc for the application submission and eventual interview.

Boarding passes, itineraries, bank statements showing you making purchases in Jamaica, hotel receipts, passport stamps.

Anything that can prove you were in Jamaica.

I wish I had more pictures. I have lots of pictures of him alone, pictures of me alone but very few of us in the picture together.

Welcome!

timeline.... um... I met him this month

I had read a fictional story here once, so I knew of this site.

I am here now so that I may be prepared, whatever the future holds.

I was thinking Visitor's Visa, but I am told that is not easy to get...

At this point I am planning another trip to JA in April.

We will see what God's timeline is from there B)

fictional story? I don't follow...

Visitor's visa is fine to get to know the person, but is not a legal option to coming and getting married, just as student visas are not the legal path to getting married (though some people do it). I would recommend trying the visitor visa to meet the person more (it should be easier for the U.S. citizen to get one then vice versa) and if and when you both are serious enough, then look into the K-1 visa "fiancee" visa.

Taking pictures together (stamped with date) along with holding onto plane tickets would be a good start. I also recommend reading the guides (see tab at top) specific to K-1 visa or other spouse visas when you are ready (or now, if curious)

Somebody on here posted a fictional story named "Stella somting-or-other" and I read it last year some time....

That is how I knew about this site.

I am not ready for marriage yet, but in all my 30+ years, in all my trips to JA and anywhere USA, I have not met another human being that makes me feel so...

MYSELF!

I am here to learn all I can about what *may* be in store for me.

Thanks for your suggestions

I wrote it. How did you find my story without knowing about the site? The name is "My Name Ain't Stella". Thanks.

Did you ever finish it?? It was very good!

Thanks. Nah, I stopped writing it. There were some additions depending on where you left off last year though. I will try to write again, but I won't be posting it. Enjoy the threads.

LOL, Jawi is our resident writer - There is another story she did in here besides Stella -

For what to save - Anything and everything that proves your relationship - boarding passes, hotel reservations (esp. if you stay somewhere together, most places if you book on the net you can put two names on), cards that you sent to one another,..... A lot of us use Ringyard.com to call - they will give you a call history log when you need it, think it costs around 75 cents -

Thanks for the ringyard suggestion, we have been using the digicel Intl. plan, it's a lot less expensive, don't?

But I don't think it will give us a record of calls, will it?

[sus 70]

Yes, Digicel is cheaper - we use that too but talk more than the min, so I use ringyard if I call him - My cell phone bill gives me a call history as well of who called - No history from Digicel!
