Proving the relationship is ongoing in the I-129F

[TonyC88 0]

Although the cover letter template on this site for the I-129F states that it will include evidence of an ongoing relationship, is this needed for this petition?

I have a good amount of evidence for us having met, and this spans from February last year to March of this year with a total of 4 visits, one being for 3 months.

I've got the boarding pass copies, all of the flight E-Tickets, passport stamps, the hotel receipts, bus ticket, car rental, pictures of us together, theme park passes (Dated and pictures for annual pass)..

Do I need to put in things like e-mail records and chat logs, or is that more for the interview stage? If I need it i'll put it in, but the petition is already getting quite big with the evidence of our meetings, and I don't want to over-do it.

proof of having met within the last 2 years is all that is needed for the I-129F petition and you have strong evidence so i wouldnt bother with proof of ongoing relationship at all.

no matter what VJ and its foreign members say... the London embassy will not ask for any proof of ongoing relationship whatsoever

The bold texts are evidence of meeting within the last 2 years which are mandatory to go along with the I-129F petition while email/chat/ call logs are evidence of ongoing relationship. Some people chose to send it along with the I-129F petition while some people don't and simply reserve it for interview stage. I have read here where it was stated that front loading evidence on ongoing relationship can be beneficial in some consulate while it doesn't really matters in others. Although i don't know where your fiance/fiancee the beneficiary is located as it is not stated on your profile but i would have advice you print some small amount of your chat logs/emails randomly picked from when you started your relationship and reserve the rest for your interview stage because it doesn't hurt to do it anyway. Good luck
