evidence of meeting?

[kristinanddan09 1]

lol thank you yeah the last trip sort did it, he came here in feb and i just arrived home from a visit a couple days ago. great i'll probably do next day just because i'd feel more comfortable with it. want to do this as soon as we can. do i have to make a color copy of my passport? i am sending that as I can't get to my birth certificate right now. or would that be okay in black and white? i have found my bank statements from when i was there during one visit and found a hotel bill from when he came here to ny and we met up there for a visit as well. i also have quite a few pics. so we don't have to show evidence of an ongoing relationship right now? i dont wanna get into trouble for it is all. thanks !

Yeah I remember we spoke. I'm glad everything is obviously going well and you have decided to start the 'journey'!

We sent ours USPS and it got there, although I don't think we paid for next day. You can choose to have it signed for if you like and also you can track it on the internet. We also sent a check, which is fine.

and even if i'm getting it signed for and doing next day it would go to this address correct???

lovely thanks for the tip on the pics, i have like 3 per page as they printed out quite large but not too worried about it. i have where its at and what day its at and who is in the picture as well. i just have to print some out from his last trip here and my trip there that i just returned from. if i make a copy of all my passport pages, does that have to be in colour? do i have to highlight anything???

You don't need to send evidence of ongoing relationship. London is not fussy about all that! They won't ask for it. You'll be surprised how easy it is. Just got to satisfy USCIS about proof of having met and then you're set. I sent colour copies of my passport, it just seemed to come out clearer. Not sure if they insist on that. I'm sure if it is clear enough to read the stamps then it should be fine. We actually sent copies of both our passports showing the stamps.

If you are using USPS then send it to the PO Box address you mentioned. Seems it has been brought up before:

Thanks, I really appreciate it

ah, see I was going to put proof of ongoing relationship as well in there, i have pictures of us together, and i think he did take money out once while he was here, will have to ask if he can go back to feb and get that from his bank. and he may have some from NYC and I can get something from that time period as well like the hotel bill that i had to pay for with my card. maybe it'll be easier to show passport stamps as well. . . i'll make copies of my passport pages then to show I was there and get his for the time he was in NYC and here in Feb in my state. Thanks for your help. I guess i was just trying to get the info for an ongoing relationship as well since they said it could be added to this. with my check, do i just put that in front behind the cover letter? or does it have to be in front of the cover letter? and am i allowed to staple like the I-129F form since its 3 pages long? or should I leave them separate? also, when sending it, should i put it in some kind of envelope? inside of the mailing one? I thought i saw somewhere to use the USPS, theres a way of asking to have a signature so you can track it and know when it arrives isn't there? or is that UPS? I know i read it somewhere but can't seem to find it now thanks !!!

The check: Paperclip it to the very top page (cover letter). Do make a copy of the entire packet including the check. Then when you start second guessing yourself, you can look at what you sent.

Mailing: I suggest US post office Priority Mail with the additional service Delivery Confirmation. You get a tracking number that shows when it was delivered. The light cardboard Priority Mail envelope is good to use. I put mine in an old file folder with a big rubber band around the outside. That was to sorta squash the pages together making it easier to insert in the mailer. And I thought it might help keep the check from popping off when they pulled it out. They discard whatever you send it in to make their own file, so don't get fancy with a notebook or something.

Evidence of relationship: If you want something of that nature in your file, send it now. The embassy in London will NOT ask for or look at anything like that at his interview. It's a London thing and I'm positive about it. Send some photos together and maybe a 1-2 page sampling of Skype. Just use a light yellow highlighter to point out what you want them to see. I highlighted all over my stuff (on 3 submissions now to USCIS) and personally think it helps them zero in on what you're proving like dates and places. Maybe you've got a phone bill, e-card, or something you want included. Just don't send 40 pages of that kind of stuff because it's meeting in person they are really trying to see. Once you get your head around the concept of being in the same place on the same date, you may begin to discover other things. We discovered we both had credit card bills showing purchases in Harrods on the same date, so I highlighted those lines on each bill so they wouldn't have to wade through the rest of the charges having nothing to do with us meeting.

Okay, I am about to go and get my passport picture done and then taking everything to the airport. Here is what I have.

Sorry, I thought you were already on your way to the airport post office when I looked earlier so didn't reply. It looks good. Did you write a statement of meeting in person as an addition to Q 18?

On the overnight mailing: the address won't be the same PO Box that Priority mail goes to in Dallas. It will be the physical address in Lewisville. Check your addresses

I was feeling really crappy today today so all I got to do was make copies, get my passport picture done, and figure out mostly everything. I wanted to get a couple extra things from Daniel so we're going to send it off tomorrow before I go to work. I will probably choose the overnight mailing so they'll get it right away, so then I will use the Lewisville address correct? I want to have overnight, and be able to track it and see a signature as well. I want to double check and I can send photocopies of all my boarding passes/hotel bill/credit card and bank statements. I have highlited on the copies my name, the dates and the places that were where Daniel is from that say when it was used. I have the originals that I think I'll have to send off to daniel as well as another copy for when he needs it for his interview yes??

Express Mail is the name for the overnight version and that is listed as Lewisville. That's going to cost you around $20 over $5-6 for 2-day Priority Mail with a tracking number.

I want to double check and I can send photocopies of all my boarding passes/hotel bill/credit card and bank statements. I have highlited on the copies my name, the dates and the places that were where Daniel is from that say when it was used.

Everything is photocopies except your signed forms and letters of intent.

Daniel needs none of that for London. Just keep your originals. He doesn't need a copy of the packet unless you just want him to see it. It won't be asked for at London. The only thing he will need from you for his interview is an I-134 Affidavit of Support and two proofs of your income. You could order a copy of your 2010 tax transcript now because that won't change by interview time. It's free and can be ordered by phone or online at www.irs.gov. You can get 3 years at a time, so might as well order 2008, 2009, 2010 even though they will only look at 2010.
