Documents to prove we can legally marry

[CM178 0]

Hi There,

I was wondering how much evidence I need to provide to show that we have personally met within the last two years. I have lots of pictures of us together on some vacations we took, but they are not dated. Do I need to write in the dates on these pictures. I also have flight itineraries showing that I travelled to and from France within the last two years.

I would appreciate any feedback about what others have sent in as proof, and what has worked for you.

Also, what are we required to say in our "original statements? Are these statements supposed to show our intent to marry each other? Is there anything else we can provide to show our intent?

Do our "original statements" need to be signed? Is it OK if I mail in a photocopy of her original statement, so that she doesn't have to mail it to me from France?

I know there are lots of questions here, but I just want to make sure to get it right.

Best Regards,

Besides the pictures and the itineraries, you could show some receipts - credit card, hotels - if any, and the stamps on your passport showing when you entered France. We've only sent them a few pictures, the e-tickets and a copy of my fiance's passport with the visa obtained to come and see me.

I agree with Mew as for the evidence of relationship, my finace and I both signed an Affidavit of Meeting, and a Letter of Intent to Marry and had these notarized. - that was just our choice.

As Mew said some photos, flight ticket stubs, copies of passport stamps, hotel receipts (if any) etc.

All that is required to show intent to marry is one letter from each of you stating you are legally able to marry and have intent to do so within 90 days of arrival in the US.

I sent:

o An e-mail that detailed our relationship that was sent to a 3rd party in response to an

on-line request for stories about overseas love

o Phone card calling history

o My Northwest Airlines WorldPerks Account Summary

o Trip Summary & Receipt for David's visit, planned for May 2006

o MerkurBergBahn Tram Ticket dated the day we met, August 30, 2006

o Wal-Mart Receipt dated February 2006, during my second trip

o Northwest Airlines E-Ticket Receipts for my third trip in March 2006 with my children

o Copies of passport pages for me and my kids

o Personal letter from David to me, dated 08-31-05 (the day after we met) and postmarked

the following day, 09-01-05

o Photographs from all three of my visits to Germany, labeled on the reverse of each photo

The original statements should be ORIGINAL, not copies.

We used photos (no dates on them), passport stamps, airline receipts and hotel receipts.

We sent all originals of all forms and documents we signed.

Also, you can find an example of the letter of intent here: http://www.visajourney.com/examples/Fiance...r_of_Intent.doc

And we didn't date the pictures either...

sounds like what you have is enough. thats all i sent and was approved. also if you were ever married before send in a certified copy of your divorce decree.
