passport stamp and airline ticket is good enough, you might want to add some pictures that show you two together...

That will be fine, I did not even have my stubs always seem to lose them so it was the passport stamps, e- tickets and a photo

the stubs, passport, tickets will show you went there, now find something that says you met together in person, pictures of you together, pictures of you with family, places of the area,

Good answer. There are two "nebulous" parts of this process. The "proof of having met in person" and the "proof of ongoing relatioship". And therein lies the problem. You must convince some unknown, unseen person at USCIS that you really have met in the last two years. So...imagine you are the clerk at USCIS and here comes YOUR petition. Do you believe it? Is it convincing? Hopefully you have a photo of you two together, that is pretty strog evidence that you have been together in person (doesn't matter where, you do not need to pose in front of the Eiffle Tower with a French Fiancee) And if, at the same time, you can show that you were in East Timbuktu at the same time you claim the photo was taken (by passport stamps and boarding passes) then I, as a paid-by-the-pound government clerk and going to pass you on as at least being very plausible and let you prove your case on up to the next level.

So, what I am saying is "the more the merrier". But remember you are not trying to prove you love her or that she is your soul mate, they do not care that you know about the mole on the inside of her thigh, or what her favorite color is. You are demonstrating that you have met in person in the last two years, that is all.

Usually e-tickets and such are not considered "evidence" since it is not proof of travel. Not to say you shouldn't include them. Not to say you will be rejected if you do. All cases are reviewed in context, in light of all evidence presented. For the record, I sent ONE photo of us together in a restaurant and my passport stamp and boarding pass. I met my fiancee in a country other than one either of us live in by complete chance. The photo wasn't even "planned" to be proof of anything, wasn't date stamped and there was no indication of what country we were in (and I am sure neither of us expected to be filing an I-129f when it was taken). My file was approved without RFEs in 58 days.

You should also start to keep evidence of your communications, make sure at least some of your communications are in a form that can be documented. Telephone bills, emails, letters etc. I know it isn't as convenient as as web chats, but you may need it at the interview. It kind of sucks that in this modern age we have to resort to "old fashioned" communications, but they generate "evidence". Whenever you visit, make sure you take plenty of photos and keep your receipts for everything. You will probably not need most of it, but the more the merrier.

Good luck

I had no problem getting my noa 2 with just submitting e-tickets as I also had the passport stamps that proved that I had travelled on those dates, I did not have my ticket stubs, and got my noa2 with no RFE's

each case can be looked at differently by different embassys so have most you can. I can have a ticket to tenbucktwo but did i meet my love there?

[rajemr2119 0]

I would say pictures, chat msgs, emails, telephone bills that has a statement that you call to your fiance', some reciepts by either $$ xfer, purchase item when you take a visit to your fiance's country..

during my interview, i was asked emails, pics, letter of intent to mary from my fiance'.. that all I can remember but the pics with him and my family really

proves that we have been together and he met my family.. I would say, "BE A PICTURE ADDICT FOR AWHILE FOR THE SAKE OF PROOF OF RELATIONSHOP!"

The proof you have will mean you will get a ok from USCIS and get a NOA2. The proof you will need at the embassy for proof of relationship is another matter. We have no idea what country you are trying to get a visa from. Some countries are way into pictures and chats and some want more proof from phone records and so on. The embassy is the one that will issue the visa if you satisfy them.

If you buy your tickets online you can login and print out your airline itinerary, I can go all the way back to 2007 and get mine.

That probably has to do with the country you applied from. For beneficiaries in Ukraine they definitely look for some further proof of a meeting I think. Nothing extreme, a picture like some of those in my signature will do. We included about ten in the application and had no trouble. We also included itineraries and stubs, but were told here on VJ repeatedly that those are not really proof of the meeting.

[luckytxn 2,264]

Pictures are worth a thousand words for sure. I sent a lot in the initial (Maybe about 25) and sent a hundred to her I had. I even sent some I had of us making out. Now I am not saying to do that at all but sent them to her and told her to show them to whoever interviewed her at the embassy. I figured there was no way better to show proof of relationship.
