Proof of Meeting when you can't travel to mexico

Recommended Posts

Allow me to explain my situation. I am a member of the armed forces and we all know that mexico (particularly Nuevo Laredo) is a hotspot for cartel violence. My fiancé is from Nuevo Laredo and currently holds a B1/B2 tourist visa so she will actually be coming to visit me in the states for the first time. My command will NOT let me travel to mexico to meet her because it is very dangerous down there. There in lies the problem. As primary evidence of our meeting within 2 years, I'm supposed to have airline stubs and a passport stamp indicating i have traveled to her country and meet her. But she does not want me to travel there for reasons i have already stated. What else can i provide as concrete proof that my fiancé and i have met? Would a picture of us with the days newspaper suffice? Could i submit a statement of why i couldn't travel to her country with my I-129F package? Im grasping at straws folks.

The rule only is you have to meet in the last 2 years to file. So when she comes to see you there you go. Its not required you have to go there.

Will she be flying or just going through a border crossing? If flying, use copies of her boarding passes and passport stamp. If doing a border crossing, have her ask them if she can have a stamp in her passport when she enters. Receipts from a hotel with both names is good. You may need to ask them to include both names for you. If she makes purchases with any debit or credit cards, or takes money out of an ATM while there visiting you, use her bank statements and ATM receipts as well.

NO where does it state the USC must go to their country to meet. You can meet in a country that neither of you are a resident of but are just traveling to. All you have to do is PROVE that you two have meet within the past two years. Use her tourist visa and I-94 when she visits you in the USA. Use HER boarding pass and itinary when she visits you. Take photos of the two of you in front of known national landmarks here in the good old USA. We used my wife's tourist visa, I-94, boarding passes when she came to the US and we also used my visa, boarding passes and photos of use in both countries.

Good luck,

Dave
