Hi all,

We are creating a timeline of the past 2 years to show when we have seen each other in person. Do you think it would be detrimental to put when we met on the timeline even though it was over 2 years ago? We wanted to create a full picture.

Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't make this harder than it is....you need only proof that you have met at least once within the past 2 years....pictures together, passport stamps, boarding passes, etc.  There is really no need to go back beyond 2 years because it will be discounted anyway.

Don't go overboard, just when writing an explanation of how you've met, include it. I wrote a whole page dating from when we met, to briefly explaining each meeting " (6 of them), and that supplemented the pictures of us too. 

Just don't go too much. A page of explanation, some tickets, pictures, and one or two screenshots of chat and call log. UNLESS you're going thru tough embassy.

The beneficiary will be asked in the interview when and how you two met, so it won't be detrimental to have proof.

We did a timeline, pictures... at the end all they care about was evidence: passport stamps are key if available. We got an RFE that requested an official statement (signed letter) indicating that we met. The REF indicated that pictures are not evidence... so no idea if they actually looked at them...
