Here is the thing about sending money to fiance .... sometimes it can act against you in the interview process .... sometimes not ... you do not want to use this as evidence for your genuine relationship ... it can possibly be looked, or seen at by the consulate as "buying" love.

What I suggest is saving the receipts and keeping them in a folder for the interview ... I would not use them or show them as proof of your relationship when they ask for ongoing proof ... however I would have them with if asked for that kind of thing at the interview.

Someone else may have other suggestions ... but from what I read this can sometimes have a negative affect on the interview ... unless already married of course.

In some countries this is seen as a bad thing at the interview. Also as to using an ATM card not yours, most banks will not allow that, even if you are the fiancee. I ahd the same bright idea to save Western Union fees. Worked for a while then the bank caught on and shut it down. I explained it was my fiancee and she had my permission, but nothing doing. They cancelled that card post haste!

the bank knows about it, he even talked to the bank manager before he sent the atm.he just let me used it after his visit here, his reason to give and let me used his atm is to saved from western union fees.

i was working before then he told me to stop working for my own safety coz of the bad incident that happened to me 3 years ago and then he offered to support me financially which i declined 3 times before i finally accepted it. i put no job in my G-325a coz that's the truth.

I think you maybe missing what a couple of us have tried to say here. Basically we are saying "sometimes" using receipts of money being given to the beneficary can be seen as a negative at the interview ... we are just saying use other things like chat logs, phone logs, pictures , snail mail, etc to show them your ongoing genuine relationship at the interview .... it isn't a bad thing to have those receipts with you for the interview just in case you need them ... but I would suggest not giving them as proof of your ongoing relationship is all I am saying. There are other things that can be used for this that is far better to prove to them.

However the interviewers are also smart enough to know the majority of the beneifciary's from the Philippines is getting financial help from their SO to gather all the documents and do all the travel neccessary for the whole process ... but just don't give them a reason to question anything by handing them a years worth of money transactions to you ... like I said above there are cases in the past where it was looked at as "buying love" sort to speak. Hope I made sense to you ... just trying to help you out as much as I can

This is a good explanation but I wouldn't say "buying love" is the negative reaction. The primary concern with the bona fides is not whether the US Citizen is connected but whether they are being used for a green card. One-way money transfers can work as evidence against the bona fides of the relationship, so it's best to present evidence of visits and communication as evidence BOTH partners are committed.

That sounds like a useful way of keeping them organized. Bring them to the interview and have them available if you need them. You may not.
