Proofs of ongoing relatioship ... Do we need more?

[Lovecouple 15]

Hi everyone,

I am new in this forum and I have a question about a establishing proof of our relationship.

My fiancé and I will be applying for the K1 visa next month. We almost hae everything ready to send, but he is in Brazil now and we will file the forms when he returns next month.

We met each other in July of 2010 and have had a relationship since August 2010. Since our first meeting in Rio, he has returned to Brazil to see me five times. When he comes, he stays with me and my family and last summer, he lived at my place for nearly five months.

We filled out all the forms and we are finishing putting together all of our "proof." As of now, we have: 1 email for each month since we started our relationship, his credit cards statements showing that he spent money in Brazil, all copies of his airline tickets (including our ticket to Chile and some Brazilian cities), 1 envelope that he sent me, 36 photos of us since we met, hotels receipts, passport stamps, a bill addressed to him that came to my address, and that's about it.

How do people feel about this evidence? Is this sufficient? Do you think we need more?

Thanks you everyone!!

You do not need more. The passport stamps, hotel receipts, copies of his airline tickets and a few photos will be enough to prove you have met in person face-to-face within the last 2 years prior to filing the I-129F petition. So, you have more than enough. Good luck!

Thanks!!

Also how can I organize the papers to send? Just put in an envelope? Or I need to do some special thing?

You have more than enough proof. In fact, all of that is not even required for the initial petition. It is needed later on for the interview stage, but you can send it in with the petition if you like. Why not send it in now and get a month head start rather than waiting for him to get here next month?

You can send everything in one of those large clasp envelopes. You are not required to send it in any specific form just whatever will do the job.

You can just paperclip together certain sections and add the cover letter with the check paper-clipped to it on the top. You can either put them in an envelope like that, or clip them all together with a larger paper clamp/clip first. USCIS will take it all apart and organize it how they want it in one of their own folders anyway.

More than enough. You have met the requirements of primary and secondary evidence. Make sure you keep a binder, or something, with all of your evidence, records, etc.... until you are finished with this process.

Boa Sorte

One other piece of advise. When sending in the application, go over it, then re-go over it, and check it again.. to make sure everything is filled out correctly, no missing checkmarks, and empty lines get a N/A inserted into them. Someone just 2 days ago got a RFE for not checking a box.

Also, photocopy your entire application, if anything should happen, you have a back-up at your disposal. (ok that was more than one piece of advise )

Nothing is more.... The more you prepared when filing, less you will need to prepare before interview

And of course, higher chance to pass!

Thanks!

We just finished all paperwork and review a lot of times! I hope everything is ok!

We will send next wednesday once my fiance arrives in USA.

Woah.. I think you have more than enough! we only sent in 2 photos. hahahaha.. anyway, we got RFEs for proof of meeting because I didn't make copies all pages on my passport (just my bio page and the stamp pages). So make sure you make copies of his passport from Bio page to the last page of the stamps.

Good luck
