proof of ongoing relationship?

[m_olask 0]

hi all,

Well we will be finally putting in for our K-1 this weekend. Im going through the guides for it all and ive come a little stuck at the proof of ongoing relationship. Im the non USC and im currently here on the VWP till september and most of the previous photo and evidence is back home in england.

Of course I can easily sort out the proving we have met by popping into the back yard with the camera but things like older photos, older boarding passes etc. i cant get till september and i really wanted to take off some of the wait while im here.

Ok, ill say what I do have. I would have both passports with this current immigration stamp and another back from march. her passport with her first visit to the UK back 18 months ago. Ive also got online itemised phone bill going back to nov 2005 with the hours of phone calls. I dont have any of the older photos of us together as they are on my PC back home, but i have a couple of printed out pics i took of her in london, but not the two of us.

EDIT: Ive just found some backups on my webspace of the 2 of us from london 18 months ago and one from my trip to the US last year

is this enough??

For the I129F petition, technically all you have to do is prove that you and your fiance have met once in person during the past two years. So photos of the two of you together and photocopies of the passport stamps would be useful. Whether that is enough I really can't tell you, but I would think that if you include a description of the three times you met along with the passport stamps and photos, it should be pretty convincing. If you have any itineraries showing that you were booked on a flight to the city where your fiancee lives, that might help.

Proof of ongoing relationship is optional at this point, and there are two schools of thought: (1) less is more -- don't bother with it, it'll just slow down the adjudicator and isn't necessary; and (2) evidence of ongoing relationship can predispose whoever is reviewing your petition to see your relationsihp as valid, so include sample evidence. We chose to include some sample emails, chat session logs, and phone bills in our I129F petition.

If you want to include proof on ongoing relationship, then you could use some of the phone bills as well as sample emails and snail mail correspondence if your fiancee has them here in the US.

I also threw in some emails and copies of birthday cards, letters, and notes we sent each other. (you can cover the very personal bits with a marker if you like)

If you still have some airline boarding passes or itineraries from airlines, as well as any train/bus tickets from any trip you've taken together, it won't hurt to include them.
