Why not use moneygram reciepts for evidence??

[Larry / Angelina 0]

On a previous post of mine I was told by some NOT to use oue Western Union and Moneygram recirpts as evidence of ongoing relationship..

I want to help take care of them now , until we are together,

I just do not understand why it is not good idea to show them..... To me thats shows that I care enough for her to want to help her now ..

Hope someone can enlighten me on this ...

I used a few Western Union receipts as proof of continued relationship.

I think the concern with moneygrams is that at some consulates that could raise flag's about the beneficiary's intent--that he or she has found a "sugardaddy" of some sort and that the marriage is a financial decision.

since it is all about what the Co perceives... and since they are looking for reasons to refuse... don't innocently give them something they can possibly perceive the wrong way....

They represent only one side of the relationship. If there is any concern about the bona fides, the money transfers can quickly become evidence against the beneficiary. As such, it's best to focus on presenting evidence that shows both sides of the bona fides.

There's nothing wrong with supporting your fiance(e) or spouse or adding to their support but you probably have safer, more two-sided evidence to show.

Ours was for visa-related stuff. Not like I was paying the rent or utlities or anything.

I guess I could see if you were talking about monthly payments or something like that, it could look like that.

I guess I should've said it was money transfers both ways and I did produce copies of him sending to me as well.

A consular office in Kingston mentioned to me that evidence of financial support really helps if you are sending it in support of fiance - especially if there is a child involved.

Yes, that would be a completely different animal. Kind of like co-mingling. I supported my wife with a few hundred extra bucks a month too but there was only the one transfer for air fare and expenses associated with the trip to the Consulate, medical etc. The monthly amounts were from an account for which I sent her the debit card.

Then what do you people think is the best way of proof ,,,, we do send cards &letters back and forth ..Lots of phones calls ( almost daily) and numerous e-mails . and chat logs , also have recordes of sending her flowers.

Is there anything else we can do to strengthen our proof ???

And thank you all for the replies,,, You all are great

Looks good to me but the best evidence of a bona fide relationship is time together.

All that is great evidence for showing a continuing relationship. Add to that pictures, boarding passes, and passport stamps, you should be fine.

When I would go to visit my then fiancee, we would take trips together and I used the boarding passes with each of our names on them, along with pictures of us together at each of the places we visited.

I know not everyone has the time, or the money, to make multiple trips to see their SO's, but they are the most convincing proof of a bona fide relationship, not to mention it gives each other more time together, which is important to a strong relationship.

I have all that also ,,, boarding passes of a trip we took together , hotel bills with both names, lots of pics.

I know we have alot ,, just trying to make sure
