Question 18 on I-129F

[meltow30 0]

HI all, Is this okay for my summary of how we met within the past two years. I am filing the first week in June I hope!

For documents I have the following -

- 2 E ticket itineraries of my trips to the USA and back to SA

- Our E ticket itineraries for our Zanzibar trip

- Passport Stamps

- Copies of bank statements showing proof of purchased tickets

- 5 Photos of us - the guide says no more than 5. is that still true?

Unfortunately I don't have my boarding passes. Should I throw in some emails and stuff too? but that doesn't show we met really.

On May 10th, 2010 I arrived in Cape Town South Africa on a six-month visa for the purpose of long-term volunteering projects, travel and attending the 2010 World Cup Soccer Tournament. My visa was extended three times which allowed me stay in South Africa until April 18th, 2012. Throughout this time I visited the USA twice and then returned to South Africa.

Willem and I met through friends in October 2010 in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Initially we were first friends and then began dating in March 2011. At the time I was living in Stellenbosch, Willem’s hometown, and a quick 45-minute drive to Cape Town, where he currently resides.

In December 2nd, 2011, I moved into his apartment in Cape Town and on February 14th, 2012 we took a long awaited trip together to Zanzibar Tanzania.

Our relationship was completely in person for one year and a one-month while I was living in South Africa. Since I have returned to the USA, we have been communicating daily through E-mail, Phone and Skype.

It sounds good. Try to be at the place of the adjudicator and send good proof that will for sure show you were at the same place at the same time. Don't forget to put locations and dates in the back of the pictures, and names of the persons (even if it's you and him).

You can include few emails and Skype log, it's not obligatory but it doesn't hurt. As the VJ guide states, DO NOT send too much, but some good quality proofs.

Sending 5 pictures is good for the petition. Your fiance will be able to bring more during his interview at the embassy, as well as other emails/Skype chats...
