Another Document Question

Hola Everyone!

First off, I know that emails and phone bills are pretty much the "Proof of ongoing relationship" but I've decided to include a bunch of that stuff in my initial I-129F packet anyway under that heading. It cannot hurt right? I thought perhaps it would save time and an RFE later. I figure they might just request more info, that's all.

I had a question about the phone bills. I live with my Mom, we have two seperate phone lines/numbers but hers is the only one in the house equipped with long distance. I call my fiance' on her phone, hence her name is on the bills from my side. Will it make a difference with her name being on the bills? Should I not include those? They are the only bills from my side that prove I've called him. I've got a bunch of his from his side though.

I think popular opinion would say don't give USCIS more than they are requesting. The more extra "stuff" you include with your petition, the more cumbersome and difficult your file is to navigate.

All you need to do at this point is prove that you met within the last two years (passport stamps, airline receipts/stubs, pictures, etc). USCIS probably doesn't even care if you're in love ..... they just need to be able to verify that you physically, personally, met in the last two years. The US Consulate in your fiance's country will be the ones who want to be sure that you are in love, and that the relationship is not fraudulant ..... that's when you should provide the phone bills, email correspondence, gift receipts, more photos, etc.

Your mother's name on the phone bill should be easy to explain to the Consulate officials.

i totally agree.. and you dont even have to include the front page of the phone bills.....just calls showing you are dialing his phone number.
