- 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.-

- 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. 

- 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. 

good luck ?

ok thanks. i have a few questions on that.....i dont have hotel receipts, he stayed with me, the photos are all digital, so would i need to get photo printer paper and print them out or do you think a powerpoint slide would be enough? i have written on the bottom of each photo the date, where we were and who was in them. we never used landline to call we always call video chats on Facebook,etc. i have made sure in the facebook messages it says the records of the video chats.

In my experience, 

- Printed all conversations ( calls and messages logs ) from all Social Networks that me and my fiancée used together

- Printed the videos we made for each other

- Printed our pictures ( writes the place, time, date we were together  and have a short description about that day ) 

- The airplane tickets that my fiancée visited me

- All the bills we used when hanging out w/ 

- Engagement Images, Ring image ( of course, I have to wear it in my Interview )

- All gift bills and Transfer Money Invoices of both

- All the Emails and Letters 

prepare all things you guys think that can help you pass your interview! ^^ 

Perhaps, Embassy doesn't see it, however, that make you be safety! 

In my interview, Embassy just decided me to let them saw Our Pictures together^^ cause they asked me Where did my fiancée and me visit when she was in Vietnam! ( this is the question for Evidence Of Relationship ) and Did my parents met her parents yet? That is it! ( cause I have an images of Me and her parents )

Yes you will have to print out the photos, I don't think there is a way for them to see them digitally. I personally printed photos with events such as when I proposed to my fiancée, the engagement ring receipt with a photo of when I proposed. Also the airplane tickets/stubs and his passport visa entry stamp is perfect evidence of meeting in the past 2 years. You guys have met in person within the past 2 years right?

All they want is proof of meeting at least once in 2 years. I Printed off one conversation of us talking about Marriage. The rest was his credit card records and my credit card records to prove we were in the same zip code/places at the same time.

 

A picture of us out at a famous lighthouse (both of us had made purchases around the location of the lighthouse on the date the picture was taken). A picture of us out to dinner with our close friends and again our credit card receipts from that dinner or things we did together in that town around the time the picture was taken. 

 

I read those are the things that are really concrete that they are looking for. I had no issues with our approval

 

Then of course flights, passports and the more general things.

Please no-one take offence to this but I am so glad to hear from an Aussie......thank you........  It's always good to hear from someone who has gone through the exact same way you will be as I'm sure its different from country to country.

 

AshMarty can I please pm you? to ask you a few questions?

Hi Usabound82, 

 

 I am the American and my fiance is the Aussie.

 

For the I-129 petition, which is what you are discussing, everyone starts out with the same process.

 

It goes to Dallas, Tx they receive it and send a receipt number. It will likely go to California after that, which is where your I-129 petition with need to be approved (or you will be requested to send further evidence, RFE). Once approved, it will be sent to New Hampshire to the NVC which is where you will receive a NVC number and at that point it will be sent to the consulate that is closest to you in Australia, for my fiance that is Sydney (I am actually going to be in Australia visiting him when he goes in for the interview at the end of this month). 

 

Once it leaves the NVC and goes to the consulate, that is where people might have different experiences. 

 

Feel free to contact me: For the proof of meeting and the I-129 petition. Here is the link many people have successfully used on Visajourney: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide - At this point they are more interested in your meeting then you proving you have a relationship. So you need concrete proof you were together at some point in the past 2 years. Credit Card reports have time stamps and locations, so that is why I chose to use them to supplement the passports, pictures, and airline tickets. Like i said I only used one or two small conversations. One about my fiance fixing something in my house when he was visiting me and one with us discussing wedding plans.  

 

Here is what I have noticed most people get stuck up on when discussing on Forums: 

* Not sending in all the information about the website they met on 

* If they were married before; not sending proof of divorce

* If they have a criminal background - not sending in appropriate paperwork 

 

My fiance and I were never married before, we met when he was living in Maryland, and neither of us have a criminal background so ours was pretty straight forward. If you follow the directions on the forms carefully it will be a smooth process. 

 

 

Feel free to contact me with any questions. We are just waiting for 1/31/2017 for his interview now. I arrive to visit him the day before
