We need proof of relationship for the I-129K visa. They said email can work as proof of relationsip. Do we need to print the entire email messages, or just the header, that states "the email was sent to and from so and so."

In other words, can I just copy and paste the header information showing proof that me and fiance have been emailing each other, along with the date/timestamps, or do we need to send the ENTIRE MESSAGE as well?

Who is "they" who said that e-mail can work -- the consulate? If so, was the beneficiary issued a 221(g)? If so, what was specifically checked or noted on it? We need more information. Also, there is no "I-129K visa." There's the I-129F petition (to USCIS) and the K-1 visa (applied for at the consulate).

Because your timeline says that you received an NOA2 for the I-129F petition, we'll assume that you're at the consular phase. Therefore:

Provide what YOU think a skeptical consul would consider to be convincing. When I was ordered down to Guayaquil for the Stokes interview, I brought a printout of In-Box & Sent e-mail subject lines and also selected full messages that I wanted them to see.

It goes without saying that you should NOT include any e-mail message, header, or subject line in which you address yourselves as "husband" or "wife," even light-heartedly. That would be an automatic kiss of death for a K-1 visa.

*** Thread moved from K-1 Process forum to Embassy/Consulate forum, on the assumption that "proof of relationship" is being required by the consulate. ***
