Clarification of evidence for I-129F and for interview

[agreenw 0]

This is my first post on VJ so please bear with me!

I've been reading through the site for a while now including the K-1 guide and have done my homework, but I'm still a little confused on the evidence needed for the interview. I will be sending the initial I-129F application packet later this week and want to make sure I fully understand everything before we begin.

Here is my understanding:

For the initial I-129F packet, I need to prove that my fiancé and I have met within the past two years (I have passport stamps, itineraries, boarding passes, photos and bank statements).

But for when my fiancé has his interview, he needs to prove that we have an ongoing relationship, and the evidence is more personal (call logs, Skype messages, etc.). I guess I am confused as to the specific dates needed for the evidence of an ongoing relationship. Does it need to be dated after the initial application was sent to prove that we are still in a relationship or does it need to be more general proof that we have been in a relationship (for the past three years)? For example, I made a scrapbook for my fiancé in 2009, and he has sent me postcards and letters throughout our whole relationship. We also lived together in Chile for a year and I have a copy of the lease and bills we paid but this was from 2010-2011. Would these things work? Or should he provide newer evidence starting from the time we submit the initial application?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you just need show you physically meet for 129f application. I kept mine simple, but good evidence as they ask for.. I think you also have this covered. For ongoing relationship, it can be things before and after application is filed. Living together and lease is great proof for this. Additional trips as well, photos, call and skype logs, etc. You have some time to get all this together so no worries.

Evidence of your entire relationship, both before the meeting in person and after, up to today.

Also note that you can, and many do, front-load the petition with 'some' evidence of the relationship. Although it isn't required. I decided to, sent the wedding ring receipt, evidence of our trips together while I visit Philippines, etc. Not sure if that had any effect, but by the time of our interview, all they asked to see were a few photos, and NOTHING else.

So you might consider adding some evidence right from the start.
