Is this good enough?

[Essiej 42]

I know their have been many topics about this. But I am just so insecure we will get an RFE for not having enough evidence.

We are 4 years together, and I have spend 4 times 4 to 6 weeks with him, and we skype 24/7. He is coming to me this summer (Due to job issues he wasnt being able to come more, and I was busy with my study so I could only come in vacation time). But we are most likely gonna send in everything this weekend. And this is the evidence we have right now:

Passport stamps,

Tickets email - Unfortunatly I don't have boardingpasses anymore, in the Netherlands it is common to check in online, so I only have my tickets of when I booked. Is that a problem?

8 pictures, - We have more but we thought 8 is a good amount?

Bankstatements - From when I was their, it is mostly ATM withdrawals is that okay?

Skypelogs - I know this is not a proof, but it still good to send anyway right?

So this is what we have now, any ideas? Thanks guys, and sorry for bothering with this again lol.

Make sure some of those tickets are dated within the last 2 years since that is the requirement for the I-129f.

You should be fine. Netherlands isn't high fraud, and you seem to have a legit relationship with proof. Be sure to follow the guides on VJ closely for everything else you need to send with your packet!

The only evidence you need is the proof of meeting in person. You don't need to prove your relationship with the I-129F petition.

Your passport stamps are good primary proof, as well as your ATM receipts. Your pictures are good secondary proof of meeting, and the amount you have chosen is a nice amount as well.

You can include relationship evidence, such as your Skype logs, but it is not needed for the petition.

Thank you guys ! Yes, im reading the guides carefully, and I am talking to other people who did the same thing. But when I wrote this down it seemed so less to me, especially since other people send more stuff. So it's always good to hear ur going down the right path ! And yea, 2 of those trips where in the last 2 years. So we should be good I think

And the Skypelogs indeed I heared it was not neccesary, but how more proof, how better I think?

The petition itself should not be that big. Our petition packet was only maybe 30 pages...and that was with relationship proof.

Only 30 pages? But that seems actually a lot to me, I think we have a total of 20 maybe?

My actual petition itself, minus the relationship evidence, may have been a bit more than 10 pages give or take. At the end of my petition I had a section of relationship evidence which were chat logs from Skype and Viber. I printed out one sheet per month, so had 8 or 9 months worth...or about 18 to 20 pages of chat logs total.

What you have is perfectly fine. Just make sure your petition includes all required documents and evidence and you should be good.

You have way more than enough at this point. They don't want your relationship history, just proof that your physically were together within the past two years. Passport stamps, receipts, and airline tickets are more than enough on their own. The other things especially skype logs aren't any good to them as that doesn't show proof you met in person. You'll be wasting stamps sending it, and it's just going to burden the guy looking at your file with a bunch of papers they don't want or need. Many people send a bunch of unneccesary stuff to ease their mind but never look at it from the other side. I know I nor most people would appreciate mounds of stuff to sort through day in and day out.....

I know I just posted, but concerning your last sentence here....they are looking for proof you meant in person not of your relationship history. How are skype logs proving that?

Philippines filers tend to have it easy. Filers dealing with other consulates often do well to include evidence of a bona fide relationship in addition to USCIS's I-129F requirements. USCIS doesn't care about the additional material but will pass it on to the consulate. The included relationship evidence helps the consul form a picture of whether to grant or refuse the visa.

It's crucial to remember that, at some consulates, the consul will refuse to accept or consider evidence that's brought to the interview. They cannot, however, refuse to acknowledge relationship evidence that they know USCIS has seen.

As stated, the OP isn't dealing with a high-fraud consulate or embassy, so minimal inclusion of relationship evidence might be OK.
