Evidence of relationship questions

[JGP 1]

Hello,

I have a question about including evidence of relationship when filing the I-129F. I have pictures of me and my fiance together, Yahoo Messenger chat logs, phone bills, gift receipts (flowers/gifts that I sent to her via Island Rose, it's an in-country (Philippines) flower grower delivered by local courier), and cards/letters & envelopes that she sent to me. I do not have emails as our chat time (2 hours each day) is dedicated to chatting/talking via Skype. I also have Moneygram receipts to show monetary support but have read mixed reviews on whether this actually helps or hinders.

Do I need to have her scan and email the cards and envelopes that I sent to her to be included with the I-129F?

Should we start sending emails to use as evidence for the consular interview?

Is it prudent to include Moneygram receipts when filing the I-129F?

Thank you,

John

Do I need to have her scan and email the cards and envelopes that I sent to her to be included with the I-129F?

You don't absolutely need to, but it should be relatively inexpensive (if not free, depending on her access to a scanner), and it certainly can't hurt. Even in this age of technology, consular officers can positively view postal mail sent between a couple.

Should we start sending emails to use as evidence for the consular interview?

As evidence of relationship, absolutely.

Is it prudent to include Moneygram receipts when filing the I-129F?

Check the Manila-specific reviews and the Philippines subforum to reach your answer, but -- especially in light of the amount and significance of your other evidence -- I wouldn't. Too often, transfers of money can be viewed as a negative factor.

John, you're to be commended for thinking about front-loading your I-129F petition with materials that won't matter to USCIS, but that will reach the embassy for the consul's study well before the visa interview.
