Evidence of Relationship & Meeting

[chrisput 0]

I've visited my fiance on five occasions over the past three years, but don't have records of the first two trips.  I plan on visiting her once more times before we file the K1 visa.  Do I need to provide evidence of each visit, or just a few will be sufficient?  I have boarding passes for the last visit and travel itinerariies/hotel receipts for the previous three visits.  

 

Also, for proof of relationship - my fiance and I communicate daily, but almost exclusivity through FB/Messenger.  We've exchanged cards when we've met.  Should we have more emails, etc?  Or will the chat and call lots from FB/Messenger be sufficient?

If you don't have any evidence of the first two visits, that's fine. What's important is that you've met within the last 2 years preceding your petition filing and provide those proofs instead

 

We don't really email each other either. Our chat and call logs were sufficient coupled with a few greetings cards.

I'd say you have a lot of evidence and that's very good. You can take a few screenshots from your chatlogs, emails, call logs and send in boarding passes and  hotel and restaurant receipts from the recent visits but do mention about the amount of trips you made to see your fiancee. If you dont remember the exact dates you will have stampings on your passport so you can show that as well.

So, you're saying that I should only list the visits for which I have documentation of?

 

I'd prefer not to provide a copy of my passport; official birth certificate to establish citizenship

That's good to hear.

 

We've exchanged cards, but always on a personal visit.  I sent a package once, but it never arrived to her, so I gave up on that route.   We do have copies of those cards though.  

 

I've recently sent flowers and can provide those receipts.

Am not saying that...all am saying is even if you have documentation of all the trips then your evidence file will be as big as a bundle. We should make sure that that evidence is short but strong

 

Well...you will have to send in a proof of your citizenship while filing for I-129F showing that you are a US citizen and you are going to petition it. It's a requirement.

Honestly, don't worry about not having emails or letters. A lot of things are done online and real time these days. Flower receipts are good too. We had some of those

Yes, my US birth certificate will establish citizenship.

That will do

Do you have passport stamps or pictures for the first two trips? If so, you could submit both as evidence.

Yep, those passport stamps are a great way to prove having met.

 Just curious- why not? It often kills two birds with one stone: proves you met and that you are a citizen. 

 

Regardless, congrats on having your birth certificate readily available. I think I would have to devote a day to figure and locate mine I'm ashamed to say.
