Reciepts for proof of relationship

[FrozenGlitter 1]

There's tons of reciepts from things my fiance and I did together on his various visits here. However, none of them contain either of our signatures or names. So should I still include them? They're places we went to visit and eat at and movie theater tickets but no way to identify that it's us who went. We don't have any joint hotel stuff because he always stays at my house...

Also, they say that when including letters and emails, cross out personal information but is that necessary? I'm concernced if I cross out any private details there won't be much left to prove these were love letters. I mean, they're not filthy or anything but I want whoever is doing our case to read the things.

Hey, do you have any pics? For example, if you went to an amusement park together, you may have two tickets with no names and then one picture of the two of you in front of a big ride. Try to match these things somehow to prove you actually used those tickets.

If he stays at your house, did he ever receive mail there? An order from Ebay/Amazon? Does he by any chance have a US bank account (I do in Bank of America, opened it with two IDs when I was there on my tourist visa)? He could have a US debit card that uses your house as the address so when he gets a letter from the bank with his card, that letter can be used as proof too.

Were all of your bills paid with cash? If he came over from the UK and used a card (credit/debit) to pay for a lunch in your town, he can add the bank statement showing the card was used in the US at the certain time. Same for the grocery store bill or maybe gas?

Also, passport stamps. Make photocopies of passport stamps from every time he came over and match them with his itinerary, or, even better if you have them, boarding passes.

As for the letters, we did not and would not send the actual letters. If we have to, we would scan the envelopes - they prove we sent each other letters. The content of those letters is nobody's business in my opinion and really does not matter. They wanna see communication, not dirty talk (or friendly talk or hate speech or whatever). Same for emails, I would not print out the actual emails, just do a search with his email address and show random pages of emails there with different dates. If needed, I would black out the email preview Gmail shows.

Do you talk on the phone? Show your phone bills calling his number (or the other way around). We use Rebtel (if you wanna sign up you should be able to get some extra credit with my referral: Ivy ;-) ) and I printed out the the summary of my calls for three months (one in 2011, one in 2012 and one in 2013) where one can see we call each other a lot. If you use Skype to talk, do you have any screenshots? You could add those too with dates.

We did not send a lot of relationship related things. We have all of the items I mentioned, but we sent just some pics, joint bank account and the phone logs. My husband was feeling optimistic about it being enough. Unfortunately I can not tell you how that went yet. You might wanna pick your evidence carefully, a few pieces from different categories, and that should be okay.

Good luck

A receipt with no name proves nothing. If charged on his credit card bill, it would show he was in you town or state. Or same for you. Both have charges at DisneyWorld (because it shows up on a bill with your name) on same day, indicates you probably did meet in person.

The love letters are not necessary. Do the requirements. Skip the fluff. Nowhere does the petition say show us you are in love.

If you're sending pictures, make sure they have date stamps on them - if you can match these up to receipts, tickets and stuff like that it helps prove you were together at the time. It'll help to include a cover letter to explain what all the stuff is too and paints a picture for them. Good luck!

Lots of people have photos without date stamps on them nowadays. You can use photos without the date stamp. Simply print out several photos on regular paper and include captions under them stating who is in them, where they taken and the date they were taken, If you print out actual photos, then include that information on the backs of them.
