What evidence of having met your fiance did YOU submit?

I'm just curious to see what evidence of having met in person within the last 2 years people have gotten approved with. So, if you've already received your NOA2, what evidence did you submit?

The usual items, dated pictures together, trip itinerary showing that we were in the same locations, copies of airline tickets, and a copy of the visa stamp page in my passport.

Pretty sparse ev. Pictures, but photocopied onto a piece of paper with the dates and locations written in underneath. 2 of the ticket stubs that I could actually find, about 5 pages of e-mails that had discussed us getting together in specific places throughout the year, a receipt from the video store showing we had a joint account there.

Oh and a Skype log for good measure.

It really, if you consider it, didn't prove that we had met. But they took it.

Oh also some passport stamps. But not my whole passport because I didn't want them to take notice of my one-year overstay in Brazil.

we sent: our pictures (with date and location on the back of every photo), copy of our plane tickets, copies of hotel receipts, letter of intent, copy of passport with stamps.

copies of our flight stubs, credit card and bank statements showing purchases in my town, hotel reciepts, cosigned lease, letters of intent, photos with date and place on the back.

Boarding passes (copies) about 6-8 photos of us together with dates and locations written on back, receipts, Passport stamps.

I sent plane tickets, a copy of my military orders stating I was stationed where she was living, a copy of her passport, a few pictures and an engagement ring receipt. I think the military orders were the most iron-clad of the evidence.

We sent 2 pictures of us together, copies of the passport pages showing Brazilian visa stamps and his air tickets.

We sent 2 pictures of us together, copies of the passport pages showing Brazilian visa stamps and his air tickets.

Similar - 2 photos of us together; couple of emails, copy of email flight & hotel receipt. That's it - pretty minimalist.

Copies of airline tickets, passport stamps, pictures of us together in obvious El Salvador surroundings, copies of hotel bills. Tried to get a picture of us with the El Salvadorean guard in front of US Embassy. He did not think that was funny.........

I have never visited my fiance's country. We met here in my hometown while he was working on his Master's degree. I was very concerned with not having any travel documents on my side. We also did not have any hotel receipts or anything like that since he lived here. We became much more serious about each other after he went back to India so maintaining any other documentation did not seem important at the time.

I included pictures with the date and names on the back. I also included copies of his first and last bank account statement - just showing that he did live in my hometown (I blacked out pertinent information like balances, deposits, etc). And of course copies of his passport.

For proof of having met I included:

- emails with mention of my stay

- photos of us together in the Philippines (most timestamped by camera

- colored copy of my passport

- boarding pass copies

- a copy of the Passenger Service Charge stub I got during departure

- copy of the engagement ring receipt (some photos show her wearing it)

I wanted to include a copy of my itinerary but that got taken away from me at the airport at time of departure so I wasn't able to get a copy.
