You will still be okay have other strong evidence listed above. Having pictures of you, her and her family shows that you are accepted into and part of the family. You can still get approved without family pics, but maybe give the other supporting evidnece. Why no pictures with family? Are they to far away? Good luck and relax, you will be okay.

why no pictures with the family? well she is with stepdad, then her real mom yes we have picture, just one, it's when we went to a church, and she is is manila that time and she is doing her review on nursing, and her family lives in a province in tarlac. but she have a pictures of my cousins and me and my grandma, a lot of pictures.

My process was very fast and i miss one more because of the RFE

The question is about the embassy interview, not the paperwork to submit before (where you wold experience an RFE).

I do agree that tickets for travel, proof of being in the country, and all the others that are on every well-organized list are pretty much what you need. You can also do a search to see what others use--there might be something you have but wouldn't have thought of including without seeing that someone else submitted it.

Whatever you do, don't be stupid about it or make excuses. Submit what you have and work on making sure you have the things to take with you. If you'll be together before the interview, MAKE SURE you take pictures of the two of you together with different people in different settings and have proof of being there that is non-biased (example:a bus/museum/tour/concert ticket with a picture of you two together at the bus station in front) of the sign for the building. We included a photo of us standing in front of the dr's office with my receipt. Almost every document that we had, we included a photo of us there getting/doing/whatever-ing. )

If you have friends/family that y'all took pictures with, it would not hurt to ask them to write up affidavits stating that they know you and have witnessed your relationship. If this is asked for, you'll already have it and if no one asks for it, it wouldn't hurt. The writer could be a family member, friend, or neighbor. We went to church with one of our affidavit-writers and included a photo of us in a group of people (fine, upstanding citizens!).

The above suggestion to call each other "husband/wife-to-be" is dangerously stupid and could result in being considered a fraud. While it is technically correct, it is too easy for a listener to hear only the first word.

All this comes down to this being a unique relationship between you and your fiance. Any normal, legit relationship will, by default, have a variety of types of evidence that is available to produce. Document what you have in a way that is clear and easily-understood and take that with you to the embassy for the interview.

And please don't assume that chat logs are evidence of anything more than your hobby of chatting online. (Something that was pointed out in earlier posts this year, if each person in this situation will take the time to read back several pages in the forum thread title list, is that if you submit any evidence, you better know it backwards and forwards because you can be questioned about that at any time. Do you really think you can remember the details about any given chat that happened more than a week ago?)

addition to what they said if you have ever sent her money tell her to bring a copy of the money remittance, shhhhhh but she only take that out once they asked for it, i have over 500 friends(lol friends at usem fan page LOL) that is going tru the same process but 99 percent of them experienced either the CO or the pre-screener asked them about the money remittance receipt and if ever they ask for it she should just give few copies not a lot, it is a strong evidence that you care and willing to take care of her either here or in US, i know some will say NO to what I'm saying here but it is really different here in the Philippines and weird :) but i Love my country. i just notice they don't really look on the chat logs and even the phone calls they always focus on financial docs, pictures of you and with her family how many times you met and how long, about the FB, YM, ooVoo, skype and emails, 3 to 4 copies each month is good, as long as you establish that the communication never stops.

just imagine a friend of mine brought almost 5 inches think of paper with their conversations on it but they didn't even bother to look at it hahahah! but it is better to ready than to be sorry :)

thank you very much..yeah thats true I am just thinking about the CO here in the Philippines and besides time change too :)

The title of this thread asks for examples of "strong evidence" but the initial post only talks about FB. WHAT??? I certainly hope there is a lot more to your relationship than online chat.

If you have time, write actual paper letters to each other. Since this immigration process takes many, many weeks, there is plenty of time for postage delivery. It is cheap and this is one thing that was looked at in the interview for my fiance. (Plus it is very sweet and romantic to send the love of your life something that you actually touched with your hands.) My fiance took with him almost all the cards, postcards, and letters that I'd sent him along with the birthday cards I'd sent to his parents (for good measure). Seeing the notebook with the well-organized documents, photos, and letters, the interviewer didn't bother to check much else. I'd bet that it was clear that we weren't out to waste his time with stacks of repetitive ####### and had everything super easy for him to find. Keeping things simple and easy for the person who has so many people to "process" is probably going to make them feel better about you in general and can work in your favor.

A tip that I read on here that has seems to help tip the scales in the favor of the foreign fiance is to be sure the USC is there and for the foreign fiance to take the passport of the USC with him/her to the interview (if the fiance is not allowed to attend). This is some very distinct evidence of relationship to travel to the country of the loved one and to entrust one's documents with that person.

Good luck.

first of all thanks!! Don't worry I still have diferent proof of relationship in my hands aside from FB chats but I just want to know if Fb Chats are allowed cos me and my fiance were often talked in Fb.I got pics and boarding pass (entry and exit) passport stamps.remittance receipts,engagement receipts ,hotel receipts when he was here with me and some emails from yahoo, and in SKype chats and snapshots,Phonebills of ATnT and handwritten letters and some cards.
