Hello,

I have just sent off my package three and in readiness for getting an interview (hopefully soon!) I am looking into compiling the evidence...I have passport stamps of being together in the same place, two previous employers wrote letters confirming our relationship (we met whilst working together)and I have film dated photographs. What else is good? We have a million cards, letters and emails but I don't know if they accept that? I have so many keep sakes and mementos but I think they want very specific things.

Does anyone have and advise please of the things that they like and don't?

Many thanks,

Embassies are diffent than USCIS, they want to see your overall relationship even if the letters pictures are old. They want to know about how much you know about each other. You don't need a million cards and emails etc just a choice few which span the dates of your relationship. The second thing thats extremely important is the I-134 Affidavit of support and supporting documentation. Some people say its important to have fresh letters of intent but I guess that depends on your embassy. Its probably good idea also not to talk about sending money between each other, cause fraud is another thing they are wary of.

It really depends on your case, for instance if your case is already beyond a doubt they may just ask you a couple questions and then approve you and you won't even get a chance to present all those other things. Good luck!

My fiance and I were super paranoid (we had absolutely no reason to be) so we submitted things like postcards we wrote to each other - these were dated from the postal stamps.... we didn't save the envelopes from our letters so didn't bother to submit those.

Emails are accepted. And people have submitted them before.

Every consolate is different though :) But all the best!!

A great bit depends on your consulate. You don't say where the interview will be, nor do you have a timeline (create one, please). With this information, we can provide meaningful answers.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
