K1- Building a Case

[ethomps 16]

Hey again,

I've been going through old documents, trying my best to build a strong case that my fiance and I have indeed met before. As stated in a previous post, we don't have our physical boarding passes/baggage tags-- because we had no clue that we'd be needing these things in the future.

Anyways, so in total-- I've gone to see her 5 times in the course of 2 years, and she's been able to make the journey up here 1 time (our last stay together). In your experience what would you say is a better approach? (Our goal of course is to do this all in 1 shot without an RFE)

- Concentrating only on the 2 visits required, and providing as much information possible for our 2 strongest cases.

- Or showing a moderate amounts of proof for all 6 visits (though we don't have enough primary evidence for all 6 cases, other than our visa entry stamps)

Also, on another note. My fiance is the one petitioning for me, and I know she has to send her birth certificate. I haven't read anything in the VJ Guides about me having to send mine, but when I read the RFE thread-- there were some cases where people said "Make sure to send the beneficiary's BC as well".

IF this is true, should I send my original or just a copy?

Heck while I'm at it, should I be sending the originals of ANY of my documents? (Other than the obvious forms where they need to see an original signature like the G-325A).

Uhm.. and another thing! I downloaded the G-325A form off of the USCIS website, but it says it expires August, 31, 2012. Is this a concern?

Sorry for all of the questions. You guys are awesome!

Concentrate on one visit...that's all the is required. Save the evidence of the other visits are part, only part, for the inteview for your evidence of a real relattionship.

The Beneficiary's BC is inly required at the interview. Copy of the certified BC is accetpable but you should also bring the official one also.

Only 1 visit? Thought it was 2! Oh, maybe I'm getting that mixed up with the last "2 years". Thanks for your reply!
