Evidence of relationship for fiance visa

[suka330 0]

Hello All,

I am turning in my packet tomorrow and ####### as it sounds, just wanted my VJ family's opinion about the proof I'm sending in. My mobile carrier (Metro PCS) will not be able to send me a copy of my phone log until 2 weeks. I've wait too long to send the fiance visa in. Also, I was only able to call to my country through phone cards, it would have been waaay too expensive to do it direct.

My question is:

Does it matter if I have a phone log?

Below is the proof I'm sending in...

Documents supporting our ongoing relationship:

- Copies of passport and all entry/leave stamps that show I visited Tonga

- Letters from beneficiary & translations

- Emails from beneficiary & translations

- Pictures of my visits to see him & engagement

- Used phone cards

- Itineraries of traveling to Tonga

- Invoice of recent trip to Tonga (June 2009)

- Letter from supervisor

- Letter from petitioner’s biological sister

- Letter from beneficiary’s biological sister

- Detailed Invoice wedding venue

Please advise.

Thanks!

Have the phone logs for the interview, you can still use them even if you don't have them to send with all the rest right now. Its likely they will ask you for more evidence at the interivew.

Ok, here is my 2 cents

Documents supporting our ongoing relationship:

- Copies of passport and all entry/leave stamps that show I visited Tonga OK

- Letters from beneficiary & translations To keep for interview

- Emails from beneficiary & translations To keep for interview

- Pictures of my visits to see him & engagement OK

- Used phone cards To keep for interview

- Itineraries of traveling to Tonga OK

- Invoice of recent trip to Tonga (June 2009) OK

- Letter from supervisor To keep for interview

- Letter from petitioner’s biological sister To keep for interview

- Letter from beneficiary’s biological sister To keep for interview

- Detailed Invoice wedding venue

Detailed invoice weeding venue is confusing me, you already booked a place for the wedding? You are not "supposed" to make plans until you have the visa in hands.

This is not something you want to show to USCIS. Everybody is free to take that risk, but I wouldn't advise to do such a thing, especially at an early stage like yours.

I had to check Wiki for Tonga. Do they have an american embassy there? (Just being curious)

There is no problem with showing USCIS you have started making wedding plans. Of course it is risky, but in the sense that you will not have the visa in time, not from a legal or immigration perspective. There are no rules anywhere where USCIS tells you you cannot make wedding plans in advance. We took the risk and did it, as did many others in the Canadian regional forum, and had no problems getting the visa after showing prof of wedding plans to USCIS.

At this time you need to prove you have met your fiance within the last 2 years. Your passport stamps, travel itineraries, invoices and pictures stand as good solid evidence that you have done so. Showing prof of an ongoing relationship will need to be done at the interview. Phone logs are not an absolute necessity as long as you have other pieces of evidence, as you do.

I don't think phone logs are the be-all and end-all. Blue and I rarely use a phone to speak, opting for Skype instead (as it's free).

On the occasions we need to get hold of each other and we're not home to use the computer, we use a calling card-type service (we each dial in to a service using a local number, and get connected in the middle).

If you're short on other evidence also, then you might have a problem - but lack of phone logs won't be a massive problem alone if you have plenty of other evidence.
