You could send about 1/2 of that - most of them are probably of you 2, right? You can send the pictures of you 2 with friends, family, in front of a monument, showing you were where you said you were.

I am confused by your question. How many times have you met in the last 2 years? You need to prove that you've met in the last 2 years, dont' worry about things over that. I'm probably misreading your post but it sounds like you are worried about evidence for the first year of your relationship which you dont need to be! Submit the passport stamps and plane tickets etc. Gather as much as you can, but focus on the last two years, not the first year. Hope this doesnt sound stupid!

Just on the subject of photos, I've been going out with my fiancee now for 3 years in march. The only proof I have of us meeting in the over the 2 years is photos during the summer and her 21st. Our first trip away together wasn't until the following summer which would only be a year a half ago. We've been abroad numerous times but all under the 2 year mark. I take it won't be worth submitting our passports with stamps? Are the photos going to be enough. I've e-mails but thats it. Kinda frustrating as I'm unsure and worried. I know we've met over 2 years ago and I've plenty of people who could swear to it but I've to convince the people reading my application!!

Thank u in advance for ur help guys. People on here are so helpful.

I'm not intending to hijack the thread I figured I had a question about photos too so it saved starting another thread :)

You guys are amazing !!!! Lightning speed replies. Thanks for such quick reply guys :-)

Sure I do have the passport stamps with dates on them and all tickets except one. (however I do have the return which proves I did go there to come back. ) I guess I'll attach about 6 photos and another 6 phone bills from each of us is what I'll attach.

Now for the interview (assuming my petition gets approved), do we use the same submitted evidence or we still need to provide the more current emails and phone records.

As far as extra relationship evidence was concerned, I think we put in about 6 pictures, and a small selection of phone records. That's it.

We saved everything else for the interview.

What other documents do we need to keep gathering from now onwards for the interview process ? Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks again.

To prove ongoing relationship, engagement ring receipts are quite good, new letter of intent to marry from both of you, letters, emails, phone records etc.

The stuff which may take the longest times are police reports, birth certificates, name change documents, divorce certificates etc, and all of these translated.

Well the photos are proof of having met over 2 years ago. But I wonder is that enough. We've got tons of photos of us away together and everything plenty. I hope 2-3 that are over the 2 year mark are enough. I can prove we travelled away together at the same time but that was only a year and half ago.

Sorry if my questions seem silly. Just want to keep myself right!!!

They want pics LESS THAN 2 years old. They want to know that you met WITHIN the last 2 years. Hope that helps. :)
