Hey guys, this is my very first post so I'm a little nervous on the reception. I've been lurking in the forums on and off for some time and have seen such a strong support community here. Its great that something like this exists for such a complicated and nerve racking process (when love should be simple!).

We've been dating online for four years now, well this is the fifth year after meeting in a game back in 2004. Sadly, monetary problems have made it impossible for us to meet till now. Its been tough but rewarding and definitely worth the wait though.

I had my tourist visa denied to go see him during Christmas last year, which was heartbreaking after waiting that long to meet. So rather than try again, he is coming down here for a week (that's all he could get off work). I'm so nervous but exhilarated at the same time. Once our vacation is over, we will go the K1 route.

I do know that some things are needed to prove that we met like boarding passes, itinerary, photos, the stamp on his passport and hotel receipts. Is there anything else?

Thanks in advance guys and we hope to part of this great community.

This is what we did , we took pictures of us together . And i sent them along with a photo copy of her photo id issued by her country , that shows that we both have meet in person . But that doesnt satisify the within 2 years , so we used boarding passes in ferry boat . When she took me too meet her family . And those boarding passes has both of our names on it with the time and date , we took the ferry . After i meet her parents , and they excepted me . We both went back to cebu in the same ferry , and went to the usembassy in cebu . Where we got our Marriage Contract called (Affidavit in Lieu of Contract to Conduct Marriage ). And we both filled out our Marriage License , both of you would have to apear in usembassy together to do this . Each country is different in the laws , if you wish to marry someone from another country . But it wouldnt hurt to go together in Usembassy , it will help to show a serious relationship .
