Is this a meeting proof?

[Ramonbrausa 0]

Hello y'all.. I am new around here, and i am loving this forum, it provides so much information...now i have a couple of questions here, i haven't filed a petition yet for my fiance, she is from Brazil, and i am a naturalized US citizen originally from Cuba, and before getting my US passport, i went to Brazil a couple of times, the last one being within the last two years, but i went before as a LPR (US Legal Permanent Resident) using my Cuban passport, of course i have all the visas, immigration stamps from Brazil, which will be what the USCIS request as one of the "meeeting evidence" my question is: IS THIS GOOD ENOUGH? or i still would have to engage into another journey? this time using my US passport, yeah! i know what you all might be thinking, Wow!! a 5 years relationship? it's actually more than that, since i previously live for 5 years in Brazil after leaving Cuba, and we've been into this relationship for 9 years now, it's crazy, it sounds crazy, and we are kind of desperate now..the waiting has been too long, even when i have visited her over there and got to spent like 5 month each time, very affected economically, but it was worthy...quality time in the good ones and the bad ones...right?

They don't care whether your passport stamp is in a US or foreign passport, so go with that, ideally combined with boarding passes and/or credit card receipts from your travel to Brazil within the last two years, and maybe a photo or two.

Are you married yet? if yes you can file for CR1 visa status. If you aren't married yet you should consider Fiance visa.

just being there doesnt mean you met... you need evidence that you were together... as stated before photos

Oh! yes, absolutely, i have all kind of photos taken during 4 years of relationship, we lived together, never married, because i knew what it was coming...my worries were wether my cuban passport with the visas/entries to Brazil were a valid proof of meeting her frequently or not! and by the way... Thanks for the ups

Ticket stubs... boarding passes.. credit card recpt from flight purchase w/in 2 years of petition.. they are really tight when it comes to the 2 year deal... make copies of the info page and other stamped pages of the cuban Passport as it is evidence, but needs to be accompanied with the rest,,, they dont care what country its from as long as its you... and you are a LPR

Emails, letters, and phone records don't prove that you met your fiancee within two years.

The requirement is that you have met fact to face within the last two years... no where does it say that you have to meet face to face only if you were a USC within the last two years

This is a common misconception. I would certainly include a few photographs together but they are secondary evidence of meeting.

USCIS accepts being in the beneficiary's country as sufficient evidence of meeting, pictures or not, anything else or not. Primary evidence is boarding passes, passport stamps and other paper evidence from in country, like receipts etc.
