Proof of Evidence

[Salora Sunset 1]

Hi everyone, I have been wanting to seek your advices on our K1 petition's probability of approval or rejection.

1. We met through an online dating site last September.

2. He visited here in Manila last January 5th till January 11th , he proposed and I said yes.

3. However all our pictures were on his SD Card and he lost his phone. I don't have a copy and I never expected that we will get engaged,

and upon seeing the k1 requirements , pictures of us together are needed. Now I am very anxious because we dont have any pix available?

We really love each other and is there any other way to prove to them that we have a real relationship?

Thank you for taking time reading our situation and any advice will be very helpful .

you really need pictures, maybe there are some on your facebook or email?

no, we didn't upload them because he said he will upload them when he get back home.

does he need an affidavit or something to explain why we dont have pix together?

Always email pictures. Send them to yourself. That way even if you delete the email from your inbox, you still have a copy in your outbox. In the digital age there are too many ways to save this information to avoid the headache of not having crucial evidence. I don't know if this will help the OP, but maybe someone else reading will take the hint to have mutliple copies of any pictures you take together.

well i am thinking because if u just show the boarding pass and plane ticket that he visit you in the philippines, the consul wont have enough evidence to see that it was you who your fiancee visited, the pictures really play a great role on this part. maybe he can visit you again .. they want proof that you guys met at least once.

thank you macadamias, i already asked him if he can schedule to go back here again but he said it'squite impossible due to his work.

any pic of u and him together is great you should take some on ur cellphone maybe, in different locations, and always record what place that picture was taken from and the date it was taken...so when u prepare your papers everything is complete (receipt of hotel, restaurants, his plane ticket here)

we have all those evidences except for the photos

well i think this is a good sign you and your bf will have more time to know each other, and you will have time to prepare yourself mentally on leaving the country, your family and friends ..i honestly believe the consul will approve your case smoothly if you have been together at least 1 yr, then filed for k1, they will not have much reason to doubt that your relationship is genuine. just keep on reading things here in visajourney so you will know what you need and just ask if you have questions..people here are very helpful

just listen to them coz I was like your probs last year

we got denied last aug bcoz of we cannot provide the pictures

as a proof of evidence that you meet and see each other physically

passport stamp is not enough uscis or consulate will not know if he really visit you or

other woman..

to sum this up, ask you fiance to go back here in Philippines

buy camera or cellphone

get take some pictures with date on that

different places, different clothes

then fly back in US then file K1

sure will be there in less than 1 year

Goodluck!

hi, thank you for your response, I already told George about this and he still wants to proceed. I am really bothered with our situation and had been blaming myself because I never knew how important pictures were until I saw posts here in VJ. I just hope I can convince him to come back here and have pictures taken again and have both copies. This is truly a big lesson for us.

Did any of your friends or family take any pictures of you two together? If not you really need to include them in your gatherings next time he visits (which he will most likely need to do since you will be given an RFE or outright denied since you have no evidence now). Always make time to take photos when you are together and include friends and family when you are out. Also do your best to get pictures that are not just staged or posed. Simple candid shots of you and your fiance doing things together are the best.

Please do your best to let him know that he is likely just throwing away the filing fee if he continues without evidence. A denial at this point will be costly.

Unluckily none ;( George and I really need to talk about this since he already paid rapidvisa to help us with the paperwork too. I just wish he can find time to go back here in Manila just to take pictures before it's too late, right?
