RFE!! Help please

[Christina y Geo 1]

Ok, so my fiance and I just received and RFE in the mail that says we need to send more evidence. Here is my problem...I was in the Peace Corps in Guatemala from April of 2010 through March of 2012 then I lived with my fiance from April to September. During my time in Guatemala I flew back and forth three times and I flew there again in November and I am going again next week. The problem is that up until the beginning of last year we hadn't decided what we were going to do in the future so saving my flight itineraries and whatnot had never even cross my mind. Now when I get on Expedia they have all been deleted. I have my info from November and from this coming trip and an email confirmation from a trip I made in April of 2012 but other than those flights I don't have proof of my flights even though I was living there. We have been together for 2.5 years and have plenty of photos but I want to make sure I have a sufficient amount of evidence in for them. Unfortunately we have nothing but photographic proof we even lived together as there really is no such thing as a lease and the power bills were always in our landlord's name. Could getting a certified letter from our landlord in Guatemala saying when we lived there and for how long help us out?

I can get a certification from Peace Corps confirming my time in Guatemala so I know that will help. I am also going to copy my whole passport and all of the stamps but to me that seems really easy to fake since there are no identifying numbers on the stamp pages...I don't understand how that will stand up as proof for them. I copied my front page and some of the stamps when we submitted the petition, will photocopying it all make a difference? I just don't want another RFE so I want to be as thorough as possible. If anyone has any advice about the plane tickets or what else we should send that would be much appreciated!

You are talking about evidence of meeting in the past 2 years? The passport stamps will be added evidence. Send the pictures and put the date behind and write who is in the pictures and where. What about boarding passes showing that you were there.

Yes, the evidence of meeting. I sent like 10 pictures with the date and where on them when we initially filed the petition. On the RFE it says to send ticket stubs or itineraries if you have them.

Have tried calling the airline(s) to give you a print-out of your boarding schedules? At least they should give you something that shows you boarding at certain airport & time and your arrival & time? The pictures alone is not enough - you used boarding passes. If you don't these then make clear copies of your arrival and departure stamps in your passport.

A notarized affidavit from your landlord that BOTH of you live at that address or location should help. Also, do have any receipts of you two transferring money to each other? Any gift receipts? Do you receipts of any valuables, example an appliance or furnitures that bear the name of both of you? The more pieces of evidence you provide will go a long way to support your case.

Good luck!

I found a few time stamped photos from 2011 and I have 8 separate stamps of admission but the RFE says all foreign language documents must be submitted with complete word-for-word English translations and then must certify it. Do we have to translate the stamps then? Keep in mind that two of my stamps are not your normal, cross the border stamps. One is a courtesy visa from Peace Corps in Spanish and another is an extension of my tourist visa.

I could potentially do the letter from the landlord but that is just going to delay us more but I also don't want to rush it if that document could really help us. Other people on here, the majority I believe, haven't lived together so part of me just wants to send in my passport stamps (translated if necessary), a certified letter from Peace Corps saying I lived in Guatemala, the one itinerary I can get my hands on and 5 time stamped photos.
