This assumes we know what Q 18 is... AS a courtesy you should present the question rather than make people look it up...

YMMV

I wasn't sure about how much to write either. Some people say to write one page's worth, others said just write as much as fits in the box and stick to the major points. I figured that if the USCIS wanted a big story they would've made the box to write in bigger. I just wrote in, when and how we met, and lived together from (date) to (date) Should be enough, they just want to see that you have met your fiance(e) in the last 2 years.

I just wrote....I met (fiance's name) in (month & year) when I vacationed in Jamaica and stayed at the resort he worked at. We continued a long distance friendship and when I went back in (month & year), we started a relationship. The rest is history.

Make it short and sweet.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

Question 18 on the I-129F and Evidence

Declaration of having met in the required two year period and types of evidence and how much evidence should be sent to show that you have met within the required two year period prior to filing the petition?

Some only answer question 18 in brief on the form in the space required and are approved, others have received a Request for Further Evidence (RFE) for further information. Submitting additional information at the outset, should lessen the chance for an RFE in this regard, but it also may not. 2-3 paragraphs on a separate attachment is a good ball park figure. Please remember to note the question number on the separate attachment, date and sign.

It is up to you individually how much information you wish to include. Each case is different.

Tip:

Use Q18 of the I-129F petition to describe in some detail of how you met in the required 2 year period that established the relationship. The evidence you then submit should support those details. Boarding passes, passport stamps, hotel/credit card receipts, rental receipts if ever lived together etc etc are primary evidence. Photos are secondary evidence which support the primary evidence. What one should be aiming for is creating an image in the minds eye of the adjudicator......a complete picture. Look outside the box for evidence that shows you both in the same place at the same time. Each case is different and one should submit evidence accordingly, not just rely on the standard unofficial list.

Whilst evidence of an ongoing relationship is not a requirement at the initial filing stage, it can be beneficial to those from high fraud countries (e.g. the Philippines) to do so, or if there is anything that could be a red flag that may cause issues at interview stage. This evidence should always be very carefully scrutinized especially emails & chat, to make sure there is nothing mentioned that may be construed in a different way then it is meant. Also make sure that any photo evidence submitted of any ceremony cannot be mistaken for a marriage ceremony which has in the past caused issues and denials.
