Hi all, im originally from Poland, living in United Kingdom. My fiancé is on work assignment and lives in the same city as I do, thats how me met. We applied for K1 knowing he will have to go back to US in 2013. We are living together since September just after sending petition.

So... we are nearly 3 months after NOA1 and it struck me that we might have not provided enough proof that we met in last 2 years. I mean we sent couple of pics (not date stamped) and travel itenaries for our trips to Poland and France. For both trips we have only had printable versions of tickets, which i am reading now are not accepted. I know know we should have send my fiancés passport stamps etc... but it was so obvious for us we are together everyday, we didn't think we are kind of guilty until proven innocent if it makes sense. Will it be enough that my fiancés current address he put on the form is in the same city as mine?

Then going forward any kind person could suggest what sort of evidence we can provide as proof of ongoing and genuine relationship. We don't do video chats and we don't have to pass borders to meet so no stamps.. we do text and call on a mobile (mine is on my name but his is pay as you go - so not registered to his name). All i can think of is to make some pictures with a stamps on them going forward and keep boarding passes from our vacation in January and have my engagement ring/receipt and my fiancé with me for interview. Any other suggestions? :-)

It is not where I breathe but where I love that I live.

Hi!

We got a RFE after 8 months of waiting cause we didn't prove enough that we met in the last 2 years. You need just ONE trip that you took together. What about bank stamements form Poland or France showing that you both used your credid carsd over there? Or notarized affidavits of friends and relatives? I found 2 boarding passes and sent them since they do not accept e-mail itineraries (but sent them anyway explaining that we do not collect boarding passes and please consider it as evidencde) We also sent hotel itineraries showing both our names on them. I'll let you know if anything else comes to my mind.

Unfortunately with the USCIS you are guilty from the beginning :)

I think you have more than enough... stop worrying. In case you get an RFE, you can always add the CC receipts (or statements) suggested in earlier post.

Purposefully generate all kinds of different evidence.

Did you send in a story of how you met to start the relationship?? Then did you describe that you have been living together since meeting. Proof of relationship could include other items since you have established a residence together. Since you live together are both names on lease or rent receipt??? What about utility bills that show your names on different ones. Another question is why not get married and do a CR-1?

Hi, yes we did mention whilst describing "circumstances" of how we met that we live in the same city, we haven't been living together when sending petition. My fiancé has his "all bills inclusive" accommodation provided by his employer, so there is no bills to put my name on...

K1 visa suts us better, thats why not CR-1 :thumbs:
