Hi, I'm just wondering how much evidence I need to include for meeting in person. We have met in person 7 times  within the past 2 years and I have evidence of each meeting. To me it doesn't make sense to include evidence from every single meeting because that would be a lot of pages so I was just going to include evidence from our meeting in March 2019 which I have the most evidence for. Does anyone think that sounds appropriate or have any suggestions?

Sounds good.......You certainly do not need evidence of meeting 7 times....good luck.

Yup

YMMV

I would include the 2 most recent meetings, not strictly required, but adding a little more than required isn't going to hurt and will only strengthen your case.

We were in a similar situation, and chose not to document all the trips. I think we just documented 2 or 3 (including one where my (now) wife visited the uk).

 

Strictly you only need to prove one meeting, but we felt showing several added to the weight of the evidence, especially showing we'd both visited each other, as well as giving more options if they didn't like one set of evidence for any reason. We got approved with no RFE.

 

We took a similar approach with removal of conditions (for 10 yr green card) - we had so much evidence of financial co-mingling (house purchase, etc) that it seemed overkill to include 2 years plus of bank statements, credit card statements etc for each of our accounts. We just sent 2-3 random ones from different months during the period, and explained this on our index sheet, and said all other months were available to view if they wished to see further ones. Again, we were approved with no RFE.

We have seen each other in person 5 times in the last 2 years and I chose to document all 5 but kept it simple, I included 2-3 pictures per meeting, copies of my flight itineraries, a copy of my passport pages  with the entrance stamps and a few chat logs arranging logistics for pick-up from the airport and saying I'm back home.
