I have "PROOF" issues that we met.

I'm in a bind.

I never kept any boarding passes or any airline information, I only have stamps in my passport proving I had been in Italy, emails that we had communication and phone records, credit card statements, and bank statements which also show that I was in Italy. I also have tons of pictures.

We have lived with each other in Rome but since we never lived with a lease/ contract, I do not have any proof of that. What do I do? Is what I stated above sufficient evidence of meeting in person????

Thanks in advance

You need evidence you were both in the same place. If one of you is from Tunisia, you'll need to show evidence you were both in Italy at the same time.

Would we need that for the beginning process, and is a picture of us with my family infront of the colosseum work?

That would help but isn't there also evidence in both your passports? Pictures are secondary evidence. Passport stamps and boarding passes are primary evidence.

My SO had his passport stolen so he was issued a new one, his passport says issued in Rome, Should I send a copy of his first page of his passport or all the pages of the passport? Would that even be helpful? Also, at the interview he would need a copy of his criminal record from Italy and we just found out that he just has some fines and thats it. WOO HOOO I was nervous about that.

Please pushbrk.... What do you think???

What do you have as evidence he was in Italy at the same time you were? Does he live there. What evidence is there that he lives there or lived there when you were there. Was the passort issue when you were with him? Does it show a reissue date? Common. Tie it together.

THe passport was issued while I was there, he has a expired permission to stay which expired 2003 which we met in 2004. but that proves he was there. I'm trying to tie it all together, but I am freaking out now. In italy if the some apartment owners do not like to lease out apartments, save on tax. Perios I don't have anything else.

Okay Okay I get what your saying so I can tie the passport in with us being together at the same in Italy.

SHOULD I SEND ALL PAGES OF HIS PASSPORT OR JUSt THE FIRST PAGE???

All relevant pages will do but 2004 isn't within the past two years. You have to provide evidence you were in the same place sometime during two years preceding when you file your petition. So, what do you have?

I just look at his passport and it was issued in Sept 2007 I left in Aug. 2007 so he received it a month later. I don't know, we only have pictures. I probably can get our old landlord to write us a receipt or a letter. I don't know what to do. I only have pictures.

OH yeah I had a cell phone in Italy, I still have the card they give you that has your PUK number and code, but it does not have my name any where, his number has been the same, so I also have Phone records. Maybe I can ask vodafone to make copies of my phone calls and send them to me. Proving that we both had a number in Italy. ####### I don't know what else to use.

go back and visit, and document everything...stamps, boarding passes and photos. Otherwise you wil have a problem with what you have posted here.

I was going through our evidence that we had been together and met within the past 2 years, and it so weak. We have tons of pictures and I have stamps in my passport. The problem is that he is from Tunisia and I met him in Italy. I have tons of pictures and but I don't have enough evidence such as a lease or housing contract or anything else that gives proof that we were both in Italy at the same time. His passport was stolen while I was there and he was issued a new one a month after I returned to the states to start this petition. So that means his passport does not have Italian stamps. I don't knoe what else to use. Does anyone have any advice?

Maybe I can get an italian friend to right out a testimony that we've been together for such and such time. would that work I am freaking out again. We just found out that my SO only has fines on his police report which means that we don't have a problem wth that anymore. we go 10 steps forward and now because of the lack of evidence we'll have to take 10 steps back.

any advice?

Thanks in advance

Where is your fiance now? Is there any record of him registering or working in Italy during the time you were also there? Did he apply for a replacement passport while you were still there? If so, there should be a written record of that. If you can't find, something, then I think you are going to need another trip. I don't think they're going to take somebody's affidavit as primary evidence, otherwise all kind of people would be trying it.

The only way I see a picture being evidence of meeting within two years is if it can be verified to have been taken at a certain time. Examples are "proof of life" type photos, holding newspapers or what some people do is have a bank guard take their picture in front of a money exchange board that has a time and date LED going.

light bulb just went off..... Khaled and I took a trip to florence together in june 2007, I am going to call the hotel and see if they still have the record and if they do fax me a copy of the room we stayed in. Lets see how long they hold records. This is our chance of sending this petition this month.

I'm in a bind.

I never kept any boarding passes or any airline information, I only have stamps in my passport proving I had been in Italy, emails that we had communication and phone records, credit card statements, and bank statements which also show that I was in Italy. I also have tons of pictures.

We have lived with each other in Rome but since we never lived with a lease/ contract, I do not have any proof of that. What do I do? Is what I stated above sufficient evidence of meeting in person????

Thanks in advance

The credit statement and passport stamps will suffice. Also, lots of pictures are ideal.

They would if the fiance was Italian but he's not.

We've seen a lawyer a couple a times when I was living there..... do you think a reciept or something stating we were in the attorneys office would suffice also????

I don't think so. A name on a receipt doesn't mean you were there. It just means you got billed. An affidavit from a disinterested lawyer saying you were in his office together and why, might carry a little weight but would, IMO, only be secondary evidence. You need primary evidence.
