proof of ongoing relationship

[Mrs. Disney 0]

I've read on previous topics that exchanged e-mails are good for proof of ongoing relationship. I'm wondering how I should pick them? Can I just pick random e-mails from the both of us or whatever e-mails I include should have a "time line"? For example: if I add one e-mail from him, the e-mail from me should be an answer to that e-mail of his? I'm confused. I'm sorry if I don't sound very clear.

I picked random e-mails. I added 3 from him, one from 2007, one from 2008 and one from 2009. From me I picked 4, from 2006 to 2009. Should that be ok? Please tell me how you guys did it. I'm afraid I will get an RFE if that doesn't sound very consistent to them.

I cherry picked mine from day 1 to present - edited out any "personal" info - and made copies to send them.

picking random is fine, just use a black marker to block anything too personal...

wow, how many pages did you send, total?

Oh, good. That's good to know.

I didn't need to use a marker. It was a very "loving" e-mail indeed, they will want to throw up when they read it haha but there was nothing TOO personal. But thank you!

I sent about 10 pages, double sided.

I sent about 10 pages, double sided.

Oh, ok.

Thank you, Bobby!

I sent about 10 pages, double sided.

Oh, ok.

Thank you, Bobby!

No problem -

OH - did you explain your timeline signature?

Your getting married in July 2009, but you just sent in your 129F?

We had 10 years of communicatioin, emails almost daily. What we did was take just a few emails from over the years to print out but we made a 'print screen' of our inbox to show all of the actual communication.

Emails are secondary evidence so be sure to include other items to prove your on-going relationship.

As Bobby suggested above, you are not likely to have your visa before July and even more importantly, you must be married in the US with a K-1 visa. If you are planning a non-legal ceremony in Brazil, I would be VERY careful of how you go about this and what you mention to the CO ....or anyone else for that matter. We have seen some pretty devastating results from others doing this.

good luck.

I picked random emails, too. Just what you did is perfect. Showing you stayed in touch all the time. And I tried to find emails showing the "love" and also emails where we were talking about seeing each other (so like sending flight informations with "can't wait to see you"). Just something like that. And some pictures and you should be fine.

I also picked random emails, 2-3 for every year of communication we had. I printed it from Yahoo, so you can see it's a real email, not just a copy-paste.

It's just a ceremony, nothing legal.

Your best proof would be any written letters through snail mail showing the post mark on the envelopes.

I didn't mention we are planning a wedding anywhere in the I-129F Petition. It's just the ceremony and reception, nothing legal. I might take some of the pictures for the interview in the future, if that's not gonna bring me any problems (I still need to check previous topics about this, I'm taking one step at a time, like I've been told to . Thank you!

Yeah we added that too, we saved some of the letters we exchanged while he was deployed to Iraq. I photocopied the envelopes and letters and added to the package. I think we are good on the evidences.

Excellent!
