Enough Evidence?

[Mitexi 8]

Before I go any further preparing my I-129F packet, I want to ask if I have enough evidence proving a relationship/that we met. This is what we have so far:

- Passport Visa scans of our 5 trips (totaling 2 full years of being together in person) to visit each other (passport pages with stamps scanned, plus the first two pages to show whose passport it is) All pages will be signed and dated.

- Scans of airline boarding passes/itineraries (including one we flew together on) All pages will be signed and dated.

- Photos from our 5 visits. We selected 10 and made sure to include one with me with his family together and one with him and my family together. All of the others have the two of us in very different settings (in a snow igloo, in Australian rainforest, King's Island amusement park right in front of the sign, etc.) I printed these off 4x6 glossy style and will be writing on the back who is in the picture, place, and date it was taken. Plus signing/dating each one for good measure.

- The explanation of how we met attachment is pretty detailed about our relationship timeline.

I have read that the Sydney consulate isn't that bad to deal with. Is this enough evidence to get us through the visa process? I really don't want to print out 50 pages of AIM conversations or mess with notarized family letters if I don't have to... No reason to waste a tree if it's not needed. =)

It is enough evidence to submit the I-129F Packet. As it only needs the prove of meeting in person. However when you will go to the interview you will need to provide a proof of ongoing relationship. Which it might be 100+ pages of chat logs, phone logs, emails, or anything else you can come up with. While I am myself a big initiatior for environmental sustainable environment, you want to make sure you get a visa. So get ready to print all those papers and everything.

You really only need to describe how you have met, in person, at least once, in the last two years. My entry for this section was one or two sentences, describing the last time we had seen each other (a few months prior to filing, for New Years). For a low-fraud country, they really don't need to know the whole relationship saga. Just need to know you satisfy the requirements.

Your evidence sounds just fine.

Ah. Thanks for the advice about that. Well, maybe I will shorten it down to a paragraph for that part about meeting in the last 2 years and then include the other thing as part of the "proof of an ongoing relationship" section (just so my hard work doesn't go to waste, haha). I don't want the USCIS to have to dig to find the correct information...

Australia consulate is good and what was mentioned you do not need to write a long story on how you met. We sent one paragraph as they do not have time to read and go through mountains of paperwork. They want the basics and what you have is brilliant, pics and so on.

Don't forget you need you letter of intent to marry within 90 days from both of you signed.

What Oskana said about interview time and 100's of pages of chats and so on NOT true. These are not needed at Sydney, when interview time comes you will take with you exactly what they ask you to take. You can take a few extra things with like chat logs a few and some more pics and possibly an email or 2 but honestly Sydney so not ask for all this.

Good luck
