Advice for proof of having met

[Valtsu 0]

Hello,

I'm the beneficiary and we're about to submit the I-129F for the K-1 visa for me, but I'd like to ask some opinions about the application. Mainly about the proof of having met in the last two years.

I'll try to put our story short here to give you an idea about our relationship. I was in the US on a J-1 visa working in the same place with my fiancé. After about 5 months of my 12 month internship we started to get to really know each other and the last 5 months while I was in the US we were dating and saw each other regularly and kept in contact regularly. Goodbyes were heart braking, exchanged I love yous for the first time and decided we want to stay together. Now I've been away for a month and we've kept in contact every day by skyping for hours and Facebook.

I would like to ask your opinion about what's the best way to show in the I-129F that we've met. Obviously working together is one and I can take copies of my employment certificate and pay checks. Unfortunately neither of us were big in taking photos so we only have like three photos of us together. What else could I use as the proof? We didn't live together, but in the same town. I didn't keep any receipts from when taking her out either. I have a ton of text messages from her though.

Also, should I include in the I-129F evidence of ongoing relationship with Skype logs etc.? For the interview eventually we'll likely have more to show as we've already planned to meet two times in the coming 5 months.

I'm just stressing out big time about this! And sorry for the longish post, but I'd appreciate any input/advice here! This is an awesome forum by the way!

Use your J-1 visa. Perfect proof of having met. It shows you were in the US. That's all you need for that. If you want to show employment proof in her town, that's icing on the cake.

Oh yes! Had already forgotten about that. I need to get a new passport soon though, but I'll take copies of the visas and the id page. Maybe they'll even let me keep the visa pages as a souvenir from the old passport.

Sorry about the confusion, but it made a mistake in my op and can't edit it. Fiancé = fiancée, I'm the fiancé here.

Don't worry about using fiancé or fiancée here. Some others did mistake as well. Answer your previous question, USCIS only focus you both have met within 2 years before filing and seems like you are good to go. Don't worry about proof of ongoing relationship even though some people included to I-129F.

My fiancé and I included emails spanned randomly from 2008-2013, my Skype unlimited subscription calls, video calls screenshots, my Shutterfly account history that showing different gifts that I sent to him, and visa stamps - we forgot to include biographical pages but we were lucky did not get RFE since many members here got it -. Total pages that we sent in with I-129F less than 20 pages, 10 pictures together, and that's all. We got approved in 38 days.

Copy of visa stamp, three to five pictures of you two, you two+family, you two+friends, random emails+chat logs, receipt of ring (if you have bought a ring).
