Evidence of ongoing relationship at interview stage

[bandito 24]

Hi all, I'm trying to gather all of the documents I need for the K1 interview at the London Embassy. I read somewhere at the start of this process that you should gather more recent evidence of your relationship to take with you as proof, though I can't seem to find anything in UK specific forums or on the official embassy website. Should I be looking through our chat logs again and printing evidence or is it not necessary?

Bring a representative of chat logs and pictures and proof of times spent together. Just few pages, not more.

 

London is not a hard Embassy. Moreover, London seems to have adopted the approach of "your relationship must be real since you are willing to abandon a protected socialist society with health care provided to its citizens for free, to live in a messy, crime infested place like the US with a President who proclaimed himself a "stable genius" and just paying for health insurance can bankcrupt you. You are out of your mind. Here's your visa."

100% not necessary.

The only time I have ever heard of anyone being asked for even a photo of them together by the London embassy was a Nigerian applicant who interviewed in London as he was on a student visa in the UK. He was given a Lagos-style interview. That was about 4 years ago. 

 

I’ll bet you my last bar of Dairy Milk that you won’t be asked for anything like that. Take it if you wish (many of us did and do, just in case) but it won’t make it out of your bag.

 

I have put a summary of my IR-1 interview on my timeline and all the questions asked. I was given more of a grilling than most because my husband has a criminal record. Mine was the longest interview that I have heard of. It was about 20 minutes.

Anything that shows proof of time spent together (plane tickets, hotel receipts, plenty of pictures, passport stamps, etc.)  Recent chat logs will be great too.

I interviewed this past August in London. I took boarding passes and a few photos of our meetings since our K1 packet was submitted. None of this was asked for at interview. It was just a casual chat with no supporting evidence of relationship required.

 

London just wants the financial stuff & your ACRO and certified birth cert that they tell you to bring. Don't stress about bringing more than is necessary.

Were you listening into and making notes at my interview?

I had a ton of proof of relationship stuff... none of it was needed, from what I've gathered London doesn't ask for it. It just seems to be countries with high visa and immigration fraud where they ask for it.

Will parrot the sentiment here. My fiance was asked for nothing at his London interview.
