Evidence of relationship

[GrenadianCrix 1]

I was hoping for some suggestions on what evidence to use for my fiance's upcoming interview. The problem is that we don't have any phone/chat logs since I am living in his country and I see him face to face everyday (that in itself is no problem at all!) but it makes it hard to get anything to show a relationship. I have gone to st. Lucia once since our petition was approved, and have most of my boarding passes (the airline workers love tearing those things up!) and the itinerary for e-tickets. I have evidence that i'm in the country, such as bank statements and rent/utility receipts. But that doesn't show much on relationship.

So it looks like I only have boarding passes and photo's. Any other suggestions?

If you live together, the lease in both your names could be proof. Any cards or letters you've given each other. Photos certainly. He can take a copy of your passport, or visa documentation, showing your presence in his country. That's all I can think of...

Good luck on the upcoming interview.

Thanks

I'll be sure to send our valentine's day cards!

Unfortunatly he is not on my lease as I am a peace corps volunteer and we are not allowed to share an apartment with anyone. So no joint accounts in any thing.

I was wondering what would happen if I wrote a long sappy letter to the interviewing officer...don't know if they even care, but I guess it wouldn't hurt.

I've been trying to be creative, and it's coming up a bit silly.

Maybe some notarized statements from people that know you two, about the true relationship you two have.....just an idea

I cannot imagine an interviewing officer would care much to read your long sappy letter. Focus instead on the task at hand - proving your relationship. Photos, cards, receipts/itineraries from trips taken together, letters from friends, etc. Proof that you live in the same country will also be somewhat useful.

Just thought of something else...letters to either you or him, from friends/family, which mention anything about you or him or your relationship. For example, if you got a "Congratulations on your engagement" card from anyone, you can include that.

ok

thanks for the ideas, I didn't really want to write that letter anyway.

Sue,

You should have an easier job than most others, yet you are trying to make it hard for yourself by thinking in terms of those who live in different countries.

If you see each other every day you should have a wealth of evidence of your relationship. Surely you do things together? Document those things.

I don't know about Grenada, but I was told that in Cameroon, PCVs had a much easier time getting K-1s and K-3s approved - I guess the COs have more faith in you guys!

Good luck!!!

Can you get affadavit from family or friends who have seen you together??

I think the FBI background checks for the PCV and misc. security hoops for the future spouses strengthen their faith in the couples relationship. Not withstanding, the Consulate and PC have a good working relationship.
