hi everybody. just curious. i know somebody submit letters of relationship at the beginning of application. i just wonder if i also need one? my husband and i are both from china and it is our first marriage. we fell in love with each other in 2004. and he immigrated to us in 2006. we dont have any evidence to show the relationship between 2004 and 2006.(because at that time both of us didnt realize he will apply me to immigrate to us)/ he came to visit me in jan,2008.. feb 2010. nov 2010, dec 2010, feb 2011, apr.2011. and we have lots of pictures. is it enough for us?

What else do you have besides pictures from 2006?

Whether or not you include an EOR letter with your file is up to you, it's not required. If you think you need it, write it. If you do write an EOR, don't make it into a novel.

any other relationship evidence to submit?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

When did you get married? When did he become a citizen and therefore eligible to sponsor you for an immediate visa?

I think a relationship timeline might be useful but if you can show an ongoing relationship since 2006 you probably don't need a formal Evolution of Relationship letter.

we married in 1st april 2011. yep it is a funny day. we registered in canada because i am an international student there and we applied our marriage certificate . he will become a citizen on oct this year, i guess.because he lives in boston and it usually takes 5 month to process during the whole naturalization. and he just got his finger print schedule 6th, july...

I would suggest a brief evolution of relationship letter. Keep it to one page and include dates of visits, when you became engaged etc.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

if you are interviewing in canada, the EOR isn't so useful.

If you are interviewing in China, prep something, include with I-30 submittal.
