Hi all,

I'm really excited to start this journey. My fiancee and I have been living together for a little over 2 years. I recently got a good job offer back home in the US, so I want to bring the fiancee and our baby back home with me.

I'm a little worried about the documents that prove our relationship. Regrettably, I've been very diligent about shredding old paperwork (like plane tickets and such). Email is not our preffered form of communication, so that's out. And we both have band new phones, so our text history doesn't go back very far. We do have plenty of pictures though. Also, and most importantly, we have a baby together (1 year old son). (We just haven't gotten around to getting married yet.) Anyway, am I correct in assuming that the baby and his paperwork (Certificate of Birth Abroad) count as pretty strong evedince that our relationship is real?

cheers,

Carlos

Pictures and going with her on the Interview (if your embassy allows it) should be enough to prove your relationship.

No, it only proves you sired a baby. Does nothing about the relationship with the mother.

it will be best advised for you to put as much evidences as possible

If you cannot collect do not worry much about many evidences. If you do not have many things Just make sure the quality and express-ability of your evidences. Make sure your pictures are in a different time frames. Also, if they will doubt they will ask you to do a DNA test anyway.

Write a very organized cover letter in the order of the documents you are presenting.

Add those little text or call records even for a few days. The strongest evidences will be photographs with her parents , if possible a letter from them , her letter of intent to marry you within 90 days and proof passport stamp of visiting her. If possible a letter of consent from parents from your parents would not be harmful. :)

Best of luck

You are living together so you should have plenty of evidence.

Look harder...

1. Are there any bills that comes to that address under her name?

2. Can you search your email for old airline itinerary?

3. Have you given her cards?

4. Have you gotten her any gifts?

5. Also pictures taken with either side of families and friends are also good

as it shows some indication that you two are open about your relationship

to close family and friends.

Also, start making some evidence now and save those records until you file I-129F.

While some folks indicate I got by with few pictures, I've read other threads where

they provided lots of evidence and they are still challenged.

So I would prepare on the safe side and build up as much evidence as possible.

That said, I think your baby should be one of you strongest evidence.
