evidence of engagement to fiancee

[heartRN 0]

Hello all,

My fiancee and I don't have any evidence of engagement. We never had a party or any sort of ceremony. We simply made that decision together. Of course we have a lot of pictures together, airplane receipts, phone bills, etc.

I am wondering if this is going to be a problem.

I would appreciate hearing from someone that already went through this process.

I assume that you are preparing to file the I-129F. It does not require you to prove that you are engaged. You do need to prove that you have met face to face within the last two years. That is the evidence (boarding pass, passport stamp) that you need to submit.

We just used her plane tickets (boarding pass), dated pictures, and the visa waiver she got when she came to visit.

The proof that you are engaged are the two signed statements (called "letters of intent" on this site) that you include with your petition. If you both sign a statement saying you are engaged and intend to marry, then you are engaged and intend to marry.

You say you never had a party or ceremony - what country is your fiancee from? In some countries, a formal engagement (with a ceremony and party) can be a big deal at the consulate.

The ONLY thing USCIS requires is that you prove you have met in person at least one time in the last two years and the each of you sign a "fiancee letter of intent" of which there is an excellent example here at this site in the example forms. That is all the "evidence of engagement" you need.

As others have stated, nothing needed for USCIS however I do not know what is expected by the consulate in Brazil. You may want to check out the Brazil related regional forum and see from others from that country if that is expected at the interview stage.

I may be a little late on this posting but this what has been transpiring at the Embassy in Brazil - If that is correct according to baron555 [if your fiancée is from Brazil]. Besides the other statements about USCIS [they are all correct], she may be asked by the consul about your "engagement". I been hearing this repeatedly by individuals that have passed the interview.

But, no need to worry, you have evidence, pictures, airfares, emails, post card, etc..

Best of luck

The term "Evidence of Engagement" is never used by USCIS but is often seen on P3 instruction letters from Consulates. Generally, they are simply referring to evidence of a bona fide ongoing relationship. If you are seeing this term on a Consulate's website or correspondence, that's what it means in general.

For filing the initial petition, the signed letters of intent and evidence of meeting in person at least once during the past two years is all the evidence related to the relationship that is needed. Other evidence needed is that of being free to marry and the Petitioner's US citizenship.

The K1 guides explain exactly what will be needed with the petition:

The consular officer may ask for evidence of your relationship at the interview. Exactly what they expect varies from one country to another. Read the Philippines regional forum for specific information about what the consulate in Manila likes to see:

Also, next time you have a question please start a new topic, rather than resurrecting a topic that's already two years old. Things occasionally change in the process, and the answers to a question posted two years ago might not be accurate if the same question were asked today.
