How much Evidence?

[Blackhawks_Fan97 0]

I would like to know how much evidence is needed to submit I-129F? 

Is it only evidence of the past two years? Or can I include evidence from our entire dating time period (5 years)?

You can include as much or little as you like honestly. Main thing is evidence of meeting within the last two years physically. (passport stamps, hotel receipts, any other receipts from there, ect).

 

What embassy/country is the beneficiary? This can dictate how much evidence you should submit.

He is from Canada. All I have at the moment is pictures and a few flight itineraries.

Canada is not that bad, as in you don't have to overkill the evidence. But you can add as little or as much as you wish to again. Key thing is the "how we met" part, that's primarily asking about how you met physically. It can be 1-2 lines or you can use an attachment if you need more space and wanted to give a brief timeline and all. Photos are secondary evidence but still good to put in some. Also can use chat logs/emails to show an over all timeline of the relationship, even if you don't have them from years prior, can still use what you have.

So on the I-129F form, where it is asking about our meetings in the past two years, I just put dates and where we met. Is this okay for this section and then I can include a letter explaining how we met and when we have visited each other since then?

Reread the form.  It is not asking about your meetings in the past two years.  It is asking for proof of ONE meeting in the past two years.  Only pictures and itineraries are very poor evidence

Your receiving some good answers. Here is a website with a good explanation of what the evidence should entail.

For the I129F petition process, not much evidence is required other than proof of at least one meeting in the past two years as @payxibkamentioned.  You can summarize the total relationship in your letters of intent, but beyond that at this stage not much is necessary.  When the petition moves to the NVC stage, then more evidence can be submitted prior to the interview, and even more can be taken to the interview, but as @Ben&Zian mentioned, Canada is not a particularly difficult consulate, so it is all up to you.

 

Good Luck!
