Proof of Relationship

[cheme 0]

Hello,

My fiance has his interview in about 2 weeks in New Delhi, India. We are in the process of getting all of the evidence together so he could submit them to VFS ahead of time.

Evidence we have already submitted with I-129F package:

*Pictures (of ring ceremony we had, places we went to around the city, pictures from my birthday party we had)

*My family's and my boarding passes for our trip for the engagement party

*copies of our entry stamps page of our passport

*letter from me explaining how we were arranged

*Engagement Ceremony invitations (from both sides) Guests= 300+

Then we received an RFE:

Evidence I submitted with the RFE:

*More pictures (I think I may have sent about 25+ pics, could have been repetitive from what I sent with the I-129F package initally)

*Call Logs from February 2011 to end of May 2011

*Receipts for a gift I sent him on Valentines day and on another occasion

*Parent consent statements from his parents and my parents

*Letter from my fiance stating how we were arranged

*Intent to marry within 90 days of his arrival (from him and me)

Evidence we are thinking about submitting to VFS:

*More pictures (25+ pics, could be repetitive from what I sent with the I-129F package/RFE)

*Call Logs from June 2011 to Current

*Copies of cards I sent him and birthday card envelope that my parents sent him on his bday

*Letter from venue where we had our engagement stating we had a ring ceremony there on the particular date

*2 chat transcripts (we only talk on the phone, but I have 2 chat transcripts, I crossed out what we talked about and just left user Id's visible, date, and time)

He doesn't have receipts for when he sent me my valentines day gift and retarded me through out the address portion, and he just recently sent me a card, I have the envelope should I scan a copy of it and send it to him?

Any other suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I've read somewhere that you submit guest list (with contact information), wedding plans, any contracts for vendor and reason why you are planning to US instead of India.

My wife's interview is on 10/17 and I'll be going with her. I think if it is possible for you to travel then you should accompany beneficiary (make sure you take your US passport to consulate).

I'm no expert on New Delhi but I highly advise NOT blacking out/scratching out the content of your conversations. It may be looked upon with suspicion. If you are using Skype for your chats, there are software programs where you can extract only the date/time/user ID. Although since you say you only chatted twice I don't really see it as pertinent to include. You want to establish a timeline of a continuing relationship since your filed your I-129F. Focus on your main form of communication, in your case through the telephone. You do not have to print out all of your call logs. Maybe just 2-3 months worth. You say you sent greeting cards to each other? Use those as well but again avoid blacking out content.

Good luck at your interview!

Congrats on the interview , Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the interview with my fiance . We haven't even made wedding plans yet just because we want to start once he receives his visa, we just have the date picked out

How do you think we should why we are planning to marry in the US instead of India? With a letter from me? Or do you mean he should explain at the interview?

Thanks for the wishes I think I submitted 100+ pages of call history LOL, ooopps :/ as far as greeting cards, I asked him to make a copy of the 2 envelopes and 1 card (b/c he lost the envelope for that one), and he sent me a valentines day card, which I have here and another greeting card that I just received on Saturday , Should I make a copy of the envelope? We were using Yahoo Chat. I read somewhere we can black it out? But I'm not sure. Thanks.

A letter (you can get it notarized) that states that you are planning to marry in US because of personal reasons (it could be your family is here etc). Additionally, if you are planning to get married in church or temple then maybe a priest/ pastor can provide letter stating that you have started the "getting married" conversations. You will have to get married within 90 days so they will want to see some sort of wedding preparations as soon as he/she gets to US. Guest list should be fairly easy thing to do. Just my 2 cents.
