If only you will use it to show travel evidence, otherwise it's not a requirement...

It's not a requirement.  Your beneficiary will need his passport at the embassy/ineterview stage.  I would provide exactly what is being asked.  It's important to remember to show bona fide relationship & that you actually met within 2 years of filing your petition.  Best wishes.

Bonafide relationship is not a petition requirement

Thank you so much! Yes I have everything else but I wanted to be certain I wasn’t leaving anything out. Thank you for the best wishes!

I understand, however I was speaking of front loading the I-129F with what can show the relationship is valid. It helps, although the instructions don't tell you to do that.  Sometimes people get RFE's because they don't include enought.  Thank you for your comment.

You don't get an RFE for not including evidence that is not required. Front loading a petition had nothing to do with the uscis and trying to avoid an rfe.   It has a totally different purpose

I agree with payxibka, front-loading with evidence of the relationship does not affect the approval of the petition for a K-1, it is only needed in some circumstances, in anticipation of the interview at the embassy/consulate.  That is where the validity of the relationship can come into question, particularly if there are any red flags or if it is a high-fraud country.  If not, the relationship evidence may not be needed at all.  It all depends on the specifics of the case.

I provided just my birth certificate (front and back copied onto one page).

 

Then of course some passport pages for evidence on meeting, not for citizenship evidence.

 

No RFE's

 

I was going to send passport pages (for me), but I got the idea that adding at least 10 pages to thicken the packet would make someone look at it and push it off to the side because it looks like a lot of work.   My beneficiary also didn't have her passport until after I sent in the I129f. (Id include theirs with stamps if he visited you in the US)

 

As to front loading,  I maybe cut my overall packet in half after removing some messages, and some fotos.. I just included 3 fotos from each visit, a screenshot of text messages from each month since started speaking, a screenshot of call logs from each month, and Facebook shares and posts (about 4 in total sent, included comments from family members), and boarding passes and bus tickets..  Originally I had about 7 fotos per visit and probably close to 5 screenshots per month, and almost half of our calls... decided to cut it down as I got tired of looking at it and felt bad for whoever would have to look through all that.  I organized all documents into their months, then put in order soonest to latest.  Followed the guide here for overall how to organize the petition, then had a evidence list with each month evidence was supplied for, with a list of what each month included, such as this:

• May (red tab)
  • Passport stamp
  • Boarding pass's
  • Photographs together (x3)
  • Call logs
  • Text messages
• June (green tab)
  • Call logs
  • Text messages

Etc...

 

I'd stick to what's required (show bonafida in the petition but don't overload it).  Bring the extra evidence to the interview, if they want to see more they will ask.

 

I probably still overdid my petition, but I was proud of it until I noticed an error in my fiance's sons name, one we both overlooked before it was sent in.
