K1 proof of relationship

[jsand78 0]

Hello to all,

I have a question that hopefully someone can help me with. I submitted a K1 petition on behalf of my fiance, who lives in Ghana, and his interview is in April. I just need to know what are the most important proof of relationship documents that are required. We have a variety of documents (a few letters, pictures, phone records, but mostly e-mails) that span from 2006, when we first met, to present. Do the officers put more weight to certain documents than others? How much should we submit? I am thinking to print every e-mail and phone record that we have, as well as copies of all our letters and pictures, but I'm just not sure of how much is enough. Any advice anyone can give would be wonderful. Thank you!

I would make it a priority to show the officer more recent proof - pictures, letters, e-mails, gifts...

I like to make scrapbooks and had made one about my husband and I. The CO asked to see pictures so we showed him that book.

I had a folder of everything and showed what I was asked for. I believe that it's better not to offer anything, wait for the CO to ask, but then be ready.

You may want to go into the African forum and ask other Ghana/America couples.

Good luck!

P.S. I forgot to mention that I do have evidence of my trips to Ghana, the first in 2006, when we met, and in 2007 and 2008. I have copies of all my boarding passes and iteneries (sp?). We only have about 5-6 good pictures of ourselves together because we had camera issues and we just didn't focus on taking a lot of pictures. Will this be a problem?

Any suggestions on other important proof of relationship documents would be great!

My most recent trip was from June to September 2008. We have only three pictures from that trip.

Since I came back, we have kept in contact through e-mails mostly and have called each other mostly using phone cards. We will make a point to send more real letters and cards, though.

I wouldn't send letters just for proof - that seems fake. You don't need a lot of pictures, but it'd be good to show pictures from over the years. We sent only 6 pictures with our initial package. The reason I showed my scrapbook is because the CO asked....but I made it because I wanted to.

I know a girl who took like 50+ pics to the same interviewer that I had. He didn't want to see all of them.

The CO was interested in my husband's city so I think he was curious....

I think the best proof is that I went to the interview w/ hubby. Can you do that?

I wish I could, but at that point I will be about 32 weeks pregnant, and I don't think it would be safe for me to travel. I would give anything to be there with him so that we could prepare for this together, but I just don't see that happening at this point.

Of course - that'd be hard and expensive. I'm sure it'd be nice for your fiance to tell the CO that you're expecting a baby.

Your time together and expecting a baby are the best evidence. There's no specific requirement for anything in particular.
