  1. Thank you, I really appreciate it. Fingers crossed we're not aliens for not being obsessed with our own image.
  2. You know it's so depressing. We took photos of each other, but we just didn't take selfies with eachother. We're two photo shy chubby people what's more to say. It really hurts seeing everyone pick apart my relationship and calling us weird and saying they're concerned. Consider for one second what it'd be like to be in my shoes in an authentic relationship reading everyone practically criticizing you. How inconsiderate these comments have been when I thought I'd be getting help. So rude, pessimistic and unhelpful. I submitted additional evidence of purchases and more explanation. And we addressed in writing we didn't have photos of each other in the same picture from that time period. There's a receipt from us at the same place on the same date we found. Honestly, if he didn't wanna meet me and be a fraud he could drive 2 hrs to the border and bluff instead of dropping 500 on a blue color salary to go to a boring state. I feel like the desire and effort to spend an ounce of time with eachother with the chump change we had at the time is clear. I pray that they could understand and give us consideration. It'd be really sad to get rejected over only not having a selfie during a two year time period when borders were closed for half of it. Thanks for listening. Maybe. I'll be updating my timeline for anyone reading. But as someone whose genuinely going through this process honestly and legally, I'm disgusted at these responses and the attitudes on this site.
  3. Thank you, I really appreciate it. I would go for that but unfortunately no one I know witnessed us or was with us, just knew we had been together. I think I have exhausted our options for what we could do, thank you guys for all the advice and pointers so far. I'm gonna send what I got for the RFE, so his passport (with ID this time), our itineraries, statements, receipts, and a signed statement another person has suggested instead of a notarized affidavit. When I hear back I'll bump the thread for anyone else who got an RFE like mine and hopefully it's good news for everyone.
  4. I didn't consider other people who might be reading this threat, I apologize. But yes, my response you quoted is in the context of me being told that Canadian beneficiaries specifically require photographs, when, yes while it's encouraged you attach them, they are written as not required as a form of evidence. Many many people on here said they didn't include photos, as they are not mandatory, as long as you provide sufficient evidence because photos are not adequate evidence as is and prove nothing. You can lie about where and when a photo was taken. A highlighted screenshot of the guide I was referring to and clearly have read was condescending and unnecessary and it's okay for me to make that clear.
  5. That's really, really cool, and I appreciate your help, but as I said before we do not have photos from that time period to give them, which is what my post is about. I cannot change the past. I am here asking for advice on how to proceed with responding to an RFE asking for pictures when we have none from that time period. I'm getting frustrated because this is not the first time I've seen advice that's just "you should've" statements. That is not advice and needs to be filtered from these forums.
  6. Yes I know it says to get photos. I can read, as I have been since I was taught. The condescending highlighted screenshot was 100% unneeded. This is the first time in my years of reading and participating on here have I ever heard of Canadians specifically requiring photographic evidence for the two year meeting requirement. Thanks.
  7. Good thing not a single user or moderator on this website put that in any of the guides and instead repeated dozens of times how useless photographic evidence is.
  8. That would be excellent if that's the case. Here's hoping. Thank you!
  9. Thanks for your advice! Yeah boarding passes tend to be digital QR codes now and you can't access them once your flight departs. His passport stamps in USA should prove he did indeed get on the plane though, no? And yes we met up Oct and Dec of 2019 and March 2020 right before the borders closed, but the March trip got nothing to show for it so I didn't bother including it. As for the photo thing, neither of us are the type to take selfies or pictures of anything in general. But like I've said before it stung not having pics together when the borders were shut, so now we take tons like a "normal" couple but we're still just human beings you know. Some people are just not picture people and it's not unheard of for me to not actively plot an alibi when I'm spending limited time with my significant other you know.
  10. Yes, he's a 6 hr drive away from me and 2hr from the border, but we put in money for flying here for convenience usually.
  11. Yeah we were expecting to meet up with each other more then Covid came, it's actually pretty easy for us otherwise. I figured since we saw each other at least once though it'd be enough to file.
  12. Yeah, we learned the hard way after the borders closed how much it stunk not having any pictures together. Now we have tons but that's after the cutoff, unfortunately.
  13. Hm, okay! I have an affidavit from myself typed up that I was going to get notarized. Should I have the both of us make the statement about the photos through an online notary since he's in Canada at the moment? Thank you for your help!
  14. Hotel itinerary and receipt, flight itinerary and receipt, fiance passport stamps.
