Question: Proof of having met in person

[RosaMystica7 0]

Has your fiance met and seen you within the two-year period immediately receding the filing of this petition?

Does this mean ONLY while he was my boyfriend/fiance, or could it also be as a friend and co-worker? Here's the story behind the question:

My fiance and I met while he was a friar (like a monk) and I was a volunteer waiting to become a sister (like a nun). We were friends for two years that way, and worked side by side on a weekly basis. Then in December 2004, barely within the 2 year period but still in it, he left the friars and moved back home to France.

I saw someone here saying to "think outside the box" when providing proof of having met in person within the last two years, and that got me thinking about this. Would a letter from the superior of the friars stating that we worked together for 2 years be proof of having met in person? Or would that not count since we weren't dating at the time?

I DO have proof of our two boyfriend/girlfriend meetings... I'm just curious about the idea of adding this to it.

aselano,

Proof of having met within the prior 24 months can be satisfied with one meeting.

Ummm, whereas it doesn't say anywhere in the intructions that the meeting should be a gf/bf one, I'm inclined to think it should. If you have proof of the gf/bf ones, I wouldn't use the letter. Maybe I'm wrong.

I do have boarding passes, a few photos, photocopies of his visa stamps, and whatnot from the bf/gf meetings. Honestly, I'm not sure if what I have is enough... the hotel reciepts have only my name on it not his, he didn't use any credit/debit cards while he was here... the train tickets have no names on them... I do still have everything, though. His baggage tags have his name on them, I have his baggage reciepts too.

I'm just curious about this, that's all. Hey, I've gotta wait to collect all the info and get a new job anyway, might as well use my waiting for something productive, right? I figure I'll see what I have that would work, and in the end pick out what'll be best to put in the package.

I've read of people here before sending proof for multiple meetings - is that bad, like does it give them too much to look at or something? Or would sending proof of 2 or 3 meetings cover my bases in case the person looking it over doesn't think I sent enough proof for 1 of the meetings?

I sent proof of 2 meetings. Proof was: visa stamps on my fiance's passport, his e-tickets with itineraries and a few pictures of us. We didn't have any receipts and we got approved just fine.

Oh wow, okay then! I'll get together all the proof of his 2 trips that I have and post them for advice on what should be included and what shouldn't be, probably in a few days or something. For now, just out of sheer curiosity, I'm wondering if the time that we spent working together could count. I've only got 1 good quality picture of us together while he was a friar, but could easily get a letter from the superior... I think. Depends on the mood the superior's in.
