Unequivocal proof of having met in the last 2 yrs

[luis_bici_ 4]

I'm hoping to send in an iron-clad I-129 and I appreciate all the help from the forum. As I prepare the packet, more and more questions come to mind. As for proof of having met in the last 2 years, we didn't keep much until my last trip (last week). In other words, I don't have many receipts or CC purchases (my fiance lives in VE where the dollar is set at 4.3, but is worth 8 or more, so almost all exchanges are done in cash and not by CC- otherwise you're paying double). What we do have are receipts from the hotel we stayed at last week- we got a receipt each day and alternated whose name was on the receipt each day. We also have our boarding passes showing that each of us had a flight to Caracas on the same day. Furthermore, we have a photo of us holding last Saturday's paper showing Chavez leaving for surgery in Cuba again- the date can be seen when magnified and the event time specific. I have the newspaper still. I feel only a severe lack of logic would lead to a conclusion that we haven't met in the past two years, but that dearth of reasoning skills sometimes shows up in our government...so forum members would you weigh in please? Thanks again.

Passport stamps showing when you arrived in her Country, and how many times.

Got your passport with visa and/or entry stamp? That and a few receipts are usually enough to prove you went there. Boarding passes are good if they have your name on them. Some people have said they didn't seem to accept boarding passes if the date didn't include the year. Some photos together are usually enough to prove you and your fiancee were together at some point during the trip.

I had "unequivocal proof", but I planned ahead to get that proof.

I submitted boarding passes of my trip to her country and a photocopy of the visa in my passport, along with about 8 or so photographs of the two of us together. No problem whatsoever.

Thank you Sandranj, JimVaPhuong, and Rufus2012 - I feel comfortable with what we have, now.

"Unequivical" is not the requirement. "Plausible" is. You can certainly prove you were in the US but I have never met you.

If you tell the story of meeting in person and have some evidence that you were there when you say you were and a photo of the two of you together, sleep well. ONE meeting is sufficient to meet the requirement for the petition.

We sent ONE photo with no date stamp. The newspaper was not necessary, but cute. You got that from a movie, right?

There is nothing IRONCLAD, whatever that means, and nothing unequivical. What you have sounds sufficient.
