I've been reading alot about K1 visa nowadays. So one thing that everybody says is to have enough proof of our ongoing legit relationship during the interview. But we aren't sure, how much is 'enough'? We've loads of phone messages on day to day basis to each other; Skype call log for everyday; mails sent to my fiance, his mom; Facebook messages to his sisters and mom; mails sent to wedding planners for planning our wedding, even to our immigration attorney; pictures when he was here(our engagement and miscellaneous). Are these enough or we need something extra so that they don't deny my visa or put it in administrative processing? Should I bind together all the documents or just clip them, because it might go above 200 pages?

damn why 200 pages? When i sent the chat messages i pretty much just sent them clips of the messages. I would do a couple days in the beginning, and in end of the month, I would erase everything in the middle. I must have sent tons of pictures, probably around 30 (Pictures of our vacation and engagement party and our families together). I showed receipts of the places we went to when we were together AND also a receipt of the engagement ring. I also sent mails that we sent each other. You do have to bind them but don't use staples use paper clips and folders.

2014/1/28 Sent I129f application

2014/1/31 USCIS received petition
2014/2/12 I129f approved
2014/2/15 NOA2 hard copy recieved in mail
2014/02/21 MNL case # received, administrative processing
2014/02/25 in transit to US Embassy Manila
2014/02/26 Paid Visa fee and scheduled Interview

2014/03/11 Medical Evaluation
2014/03/18 Interview date *APPROVED*

I didnt think it would be this quick. We just gotta wait for the VISA to be mailed to her house and then the CFO seminar.

The Guide says it best:

Documentary Proof of Having Met in Person in the Past Two Years and an Ongoing Relationship:

Use as many of these items are possible. There is no minimum, but the more you can provide the less likely you are that you will receive an RFE. Additionally, please note that providing proof of your ongoing and genuine relationship in this package may benefit you by allowing the consulate to have access to this information prior to them formally contacting the non US Citizen fiance. Many high risk consulates approach cases with a skeptical eye and providing this information early on in the original I-129F package will help them in their preliminary review of your case.

1. Copies of all airline boarding passes, train passes, itineraries, hotel receipts, passport stamps (make sure you can read the dates on the stamps), and other documentary evidence that you have met within the last two years. You may want to highlight or place post-it notes indicating the dates and locations on the copies (to make the adjudication easier) for the person reviewing your file. 2. Color Photo's of you and your fiance(e) together. Make sure you write your names, date, and location on the back of every photo. Provide two to five photo's. If you only have a single copy of the photo, then make a color copy and send that. If it is a digital photo, have it printed at a local photo store such as Walgreens (if at all possible) or if not on a high quality printer. Place photo's in a plastic bag or photo sheet and label the sheet. Note that you may not receive originals of photo's back. 3. The following items will not typically show proof of having met in the last two years however will show proof of an ongoing relationship: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate letters and emails, stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

How much of #1 evidence topic are you presenting?

Clip it together, USCIS will rearrange as they see necessary.

Good luck.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)
