I'm not sure what you need exactly. What is a letter regarding proof of relationship? What is it for?

[Ron & Ping 2]

Yes, I was looking for a letter regarding proof of relationship.

Are you completing the I-129F and referring to Question 18? or is this for proof of ongoing relationship at interview stage? .... or other?

Hi Andie,

I'm referring to Question 18 for the I-129F packet.

Thanks,

Ron

Okay, so you don't need to provide a letter as such.

1...You just need to advise on the form where/how you met... e.g. we met online on (such and such website), we met through a mutual friend, or when we were both travelling in Japan in 2011 etc.

2... You then need to provide evidence that you have met/been together during the past 2 years. (If you haven't seen each other within that time then you will not be approved). So best evidence of having been together in the previous 2 years is, passport stamps, boarding passes (rather than tickets as tickets do not prove you boarded the flight). Photos of you together at the same location at that time.

You can attach an explanation but you really only need to use the space on the form. You can send copies of everything with the initial petition, but you need original evidence at the interview stage at the embassy. Anything additional you can mention (see attached sheet), or put photos in snaplock bags etc.

Also, the initial meeting may also be the same as the meeting within the previous 2 years. You may have met 3 months ago and then decided to get married during the same visit. For the initial meeting you only need to answer the question. The meeting within 2 years requires evidence to prove it. (copy of passport stamps, boarding passes etc).

Check the guides at the top of the page - there is lots of valuable information. If you're not sure just keep asking.

Best of luck with everything !!

Welcome to the forum.

With regards to "proof of relationship" in these visa processes, pictures and documents often speak much larger to the USCIS than mere word statements. Are you speaking about the required "Fiance(e) letters of intent?" If so, become acquainted with the GUIDES section (located at the top of the forum page), and the Example Forms section.

http://www.visajourney.com/content/examples

The GUIDES section has a very useful step-by-step K-1 Visa guide that is the result of thousands of other VJ members immigration journeys.

Good luck.

for china, guangzhou, it is recommended (but not required) to submit an evolution of relationship letter with either the I-129F or handed over in the USCitizen's passport, folded lengthwise, within first 20 seconds of the interview on interview day at the interview window.

Here is my example (but is not for K-1 visa chasers, at all)

While I, in general, agree with Darnell. As he mentions, the Evolution of Relationship (EOR) letter can be quite useful at the Department of State's Guangzhou consulate interview phase of a visa journey. However, it may be a bit premature, at this stage of the process, to include an EOR with the initial I-129F petition submission to USCIS. Front-loading of the initial petition is recommended for Guangzhou-bound petitions, but that should include a thorough and balanced blend of as many as possible of the types of documentary proof of having met and of having an on-going relationship mentioned in the K-1 step-by-step guide:

BTW, we did follow Darnell's advice and utilized an EOR during our successful visa K-1/K-2 interview last year in Guangzhou K-1.

Good luck.

HELP US PLEASE !!!!!!!! I met my Filipino fiance on a website on March 1, 2011. I flew to the Philippines and entered the country on January 2, 2012 and stayed with Caren for 4 months. I then returned to the USA on April 25, 2012 and hired an immigration attorney to help with all the papers needed. A relationship letter was called an intent to marry letter. Both of us had out letters signed and dated on the same day and submitted to the USCIS. Passport stamps, boarding passes, Photo's, even a few YM chats were included.

I was assured by my attorney everything was fine. So I returned to the Philippines on November 6, 2012 to be with Caren as we waited for approval. USCIS approved us March 6, 2013. I had to return to the USA on May 8, because my mother was admitted to the hospital. Caren's interview was a week later on May 15th. SHE WAS TOLD SHE WAS APPROVED. THE EMBASSY TOOK AND KEPT HER PASSPORT TO ATTACH THE VISA. She was told 2-3 weeks till she actually had her visa in hand.

3 weeks later and nothing. We contacted the embassy via email and calls only to find out that our case was returned to the USCIS for disposition.. Some lame excuse about not enough proof of a relationship. How can there be any question when I proved I was there 4 months, then returned for another 6 months. I called the USCIS with her MNL #, name and birthday info, and they have no record yet that it has been returned!!!!!!!! ####### is going on? They asked what the letter of denial said? WE NEVER GOT A LETTER OF DENIAL!!!!!!!! USCIS said after they get the case back it still takes another 6 MONTHS FOR REVIEW !!!!!

Does anyone have a clue as to what has happened? May as well go to Mexico and sneak accross the border than to be legal and pay the fees. This is rediculous, and it is the government who is at fault. WHAT DO I DO NOW????? I AM FLYING BACK OVER THERE TO BE WITH HER, WE ARE BOTH EXTREMLY UPSET.

Hi Andie,

I'm referring to Question 18 for the I-129F packet.

Thanks,

Ron

No, Q18 wants you to describe your meeting in person (within the past two years).......NOT about your relationship (that's for the interview).

Again, your meeting in person proof is what you want. For Q 18, just list the dates and place where you met and then include evidence of that meeting.
