I-129F - Proof of Meeting and Proof of Ongoing Relationship

[MrMooCow 0]

About to submit the package, and I'm starting to fret about the proof of relationship stuff.

 

For proof of having met in the last two years I have:

 

Flight Confirmations for both of us, hotel reservations (in my name), and pictures from our five trips together (going back to Feb of 2024).  Four of the five fall in the "two year" range.  We don't have passport stamps within the last two years because in her case the passport was either not stamped (USA) or we found the dates were wrong (Thailand both times).  We do have my stamps from Russia, her home, but that was almost two years ago.  According to her stamps for our most recent trip to Bangkok she hasn't even arrived yet.  It's stamped for June 2026 entry!  We do have included a letter from a hospital stating she stayed with me while I was hospitalized for a week, but it occurs to me the letter refers to her as my "friend".  (The nurses seemed to not be able to wrap their head around "fiance", because no matter how many times I corrected them they would refer to her as "friend" or "wife".  I wonder if it's cultural thing.)

 

For proof of "ongoing relationship" I don't really know what to put.  We text daily in WhatsApp and have weekly Zoom chats.  I have regular emails saying "N has joined the meeting" with the meeting title, but it really is just "N", she never enters her full name.  Am I supposed to just print out screen shots of our WhatsApp conversations?  We really don't have much in the way of emails, because it's the 21st century.  We have emails of files going back and forth as we prepare this document, but that's about it.

 

Would there be any value in showing that I paid for her flights to Chicago and Serbia (her visitors visa last year)?  As well as her flight in Thailand.

Having paid for a ticket is not primary evidence of travel.  I pay for a one-way ticket to somewhere outside the Philippines every time I enter, but I cancel that ticket within 24 hours and never use it for travel.  If you don't have passport stamps, use boarding passes which ARE evidence of travel.  If she's been in the USA, download her I-94 and travel history here.  https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/home
