Did they even ask for all that evidence of a relationship???

They didn't want to see anything. The interview was less than 10 minutes.

Met in 2004 at a Dave Matthews Band concert, started dating November 2005, engaged February 2009 and married November 14, 2009. Together in the US on March 19th 2011
