inquiry about proof of relationship...

[Gumbolette 58]

hello everyone.

I am a newbie here, and I just want to hear something from you guys who undergone the same process from the USEM.

I'm not yet in the track but I'm just preparing myself for the long process.

Me and my fiance' has been together for 5 months. He will be here in the Philippines by May and we're planning to get married by June. We're just worried about the necessary documents that will proof our relationship. Since we talk everyday through a IM called skype, take note "everyday" through voice that's why we really dont exchange emails or even chat for a long time, or even exchange snail mails(duh!). If this would be one of the necessary proofs, we might be in the hot bowl right now. remittances and receipts of packages ok, I hope that's considerable, What should we start assembling as a proof of our continuous relationship?

Can you suggest what are the necessary preparations that we need to do prior of meeting each other?

Hope to hear something from you guys.

thank you!

You still have lots of time to email and postmail each other so why don't you start it now. Besides you haven't started filing the petition yet. Aside from the chatlogs when you meet your fiance try to take as many pictures as possible with him, him and your family too will be of great help. Good luck!!!

Since you are going to be married here, the docs you need are proof of on-going marital relationship. The proof prior to meeting each other is for fiancee visa so your major concern are proofs after you got married like marriage certificate(you don't need to wait for NSO copy for this and local civil registrar copy will be accepted for attachment to your petition papers), emails/snail mails(you still have lots of time to do this so i guess you and your partner should start doing this by now and discuss how its going to be after you get married, the date, guest lists, etc.), phone call logs, pictures together, wedding pictures, joint bank account certificate(your partner should bring his most recent bank statement from the US, its a bank requirement for foreigners to open an account) and medical insurance coverage for the wife once he changes his status from single to married. That is what I have right now. You better start reading the guides 'cause it will help a lot for your preparation.

For right now I would suggest enjoying each other and planning for the marriage. After the marriage you will need a certified Local Civil Registry copy of the Marriage Certificate, at least two Affidavits of marital relations, and two G325A each filled out and signed. The guides and example forms will help you greatly.

After your marriage is the time to start gathering proof of an ongoing relationship. Also,money transfer receipts were not mentioned and make a good proof of relationship.
