Tattoo Evidence?

[pushbrk 12,883]

Rings don;t matter either. My wife never had and still does not have, an engagement ring.

Look, it is simple...evidence you can create yourself is secondary. Anyone can have a tattoo with someone's name. I can get one today with anyones name I want. So what?

However when I presented photos of our visits together and in some we (and other innocent bystanders) are wearing winter cliothes and in others we are wearing summer clothes...guess what?

Photos in winter and summer clothes accompanied by passport stamps and/or boarding passes with winter and summer dates, indicating travel to the country one of you lives in with are excellent evidence. Nothing wrong with evidence you create yourself, if it is corroborated by evidence you don't create yourself.

exactly. And if they have plenty of corroborated evidence the tattoos are useless. If they do not have plenty of corroborated evidence...the tattoos are useless. I would imagine (just guessing) that the vast majority of successful visa applicants do not even have a tattoo.

Evidence you create yourself is secondary to the primary evidence you do not create yourself

If both of you are in an indoor pool then have someone take your picture.

Why not bring it? Bring every shred of evidence you can. No one in this forum, or anywhere else will be able to tell you exactly what that particular CO will want to see on that particular day, so what do you have to lose by having every sort of evidence imaginable and letting the CO sort out what he or she wants to see.

I would bet that you will find very few people who have been denied a visa for having too much evidence.

This whole thread is nonsense. A realistic tattoo can be made from henna. Or painted on. These guys aren't stupid.

Chance of helping: 0%

On the other hand, many people are--right or wrong doesn't matter here--actually biased against tattoos.

Chance of hurting: 5%

Do the math.

And I would bet you are wrong. Try bringing your wedding photos to a K1 interview and see.

Dear Kabro91; here is my 2 cents just like so many others;

I don't think tattoo would help you more than any other proof, document. As some suggested that many documents can be forged, created, hence a tatto can be added for specific reasons as well. But it can be used as ONE OF THE proof. That's my personal opinion. As it solely depends on the person who will be looking at those docs or the interviewer, it is solely on their state of mind as well. Whether they believe the information you provided is genuine or not is something you can never predic, hence people try to provide as much as they can. So yes, if you want, submit those along with the other information, some of which are pretty standard (e.g. marriage certificate if you are applying for spouse).

In this site like many others, some tend to standardize the process based on their own experience without realizing the world is not the same for all.

I hope you understand what am saying. But congrats with the tatto and I hope she was excited seeing it!!!!!!

what a LOL worthy question

[Robby999 1,024]

A picture of her tattooing her name in your chest would be better! Does the consulate allow the petitioner to attend the interview? If not, producing the original is going to be painful

[baron555 934]

I have a question would a picture of me with my fiance's name tattooed on my chest count as evidence during her interview? I mean we have lots of picture and logs and other evidence but would the tattoo be taken into consideration as well?

How do we know which woman's name you will display? If you had her date of birth AND her passport number also tattoed.....well then that would be evidence.

I say do it.

quite an astute observation, yes, i should have specified that you should only provide evidence which supports your case...but as long as it does, the more the merrier.

Then let me give you a REAL argument against your point. When you send to much to be read, you don't get the choice of what they read and don't read or whether they take the time to read ANY of your evidence. When you keep it concise and to the point, YOU get far more influence on what is seen and/or read.

Yes, too much is too much.

In theory, it sounds like your argument makes sense. I just have never seen any case in which this happened. Give me an actual example.

How would you ever know what gets looked at or read? You won't and can't. But you can be certain that if you overwhelm them with paper, they'll be too overwhelmed to read it all. Even more and they will read little or none and only read or see what they choose. Nobody is going to allow a worker to spend their entire day or more reading hundreds of pages of emails. You choose. Is something sensible more likely to carry the day, than something outrageous?

Actually, we have lots of reports that indicate the couple thinks little if any of what they submitted was actually considered. They don't know either.

Me and my wife doesn't have any tattoos of each other names on us, and we've been through this process fine, And I forbid myself from ever tattooed someone else faces or names on my body, In fact I have 0 tattoo.

I have a friend that got grilled big time at his K1 visa interview, his fiancee has his face tattooed on her lower back. didn't help any at the interview.
