help with proof

[seethesvt 4]

Its incredibly easy to prove my gf and I have met, cuz she stayed with me here in the us for 6 months. But we, probably like most of you, don't have a traditional type engagement. We decided before she left back to england that we were gonna do this and get married. I dont really have proof to file with my 129... what can I do?

Welcome to the forum.

Which visa are you seeking?

Form I-129 = Petition for a Nonimmigrant worker

Form I-129F = Petition for a K-1 Fiancee Visa

Good luck on your visa journey.

Fiance visa... sorry, thiught it was obvious...

[Ketsuban 1,034]

All you need for the I-129F is proof you met within the last 2 years. Your proof of engagement will be the letter of intent you both write and sign.

Good idea to include some proof of an ongoing relationship too, like Skype logs, texts, photos together etc. But don't go overboard with 1000 pages

Proofs of having met

Primary evidence: Exit/entry visa/passport stamps, airline ticket boarding passes, hotel receipts, ATM withdrawals in the subject country/city, apartment leases in both names, utility bills, etc. (for those that have lived together) are irrefutable as primary evidence. Airline booking confirmations, Airline Frequent Flyer statements, xx/xxxx Bank Statements (highlighted the purchases/ATM withdrawals made in during this period), restaurant receipts or purchases that match credit card transaction on the end of the month statement, especially with the card holders carbon copy signature.

Secondary evidence: The USCIS defines secondary evidence as any documentation that can be used to supplement primary evidence but in itself cannot stand alone to prove ones assertions. Photos, bus tickets, engagement ring receipts, affidavits from family/friends may be used to supplement weak primary evidence if the primary evidence can not stand alone on its own merits. Anything that cannot be used to prove your point with a very high degree of certainty.

Hope this helps. Good luck on your journey!

No, thats not my question. As I said, proof we met isnt the issue. Its proof we both intend to marry... seems not everyone read my post clearly, apparently I need to clarify more...

The proof you both intend to marry is basically the 2 letters of intent which you both need to write and sign and include them in the I-129F package.

She answered your question. The proof is the letter of intent to marry.

She can type the letter of intent (and make sure she fills out and signs the G325-A!) and FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc., it to you. Those forms have to have the original signature and date on them. She'll also need a US passport style photo for the G325-A. That'd be the quickest, albeit more expensive way to do it. Otherwise, just have her fill them out and mail them via regular post.

[Julie+Matt 84]

Make sure when she gets the passport photo she tells them it has to be 2 inches by 2 inches. The uk passport style is smaller, & my fiancé didn't realize that the first time he sent them to me...

[dragonharrower 2]

Just a thought-- The visa waiver program only allows a 90 day stay. Unless she applied for a tourist visa, that means she's overstayed which may cause you some problems farther down the line.

[seethesvt 4]

She was on back to back tourist visas. Totally legit.

Then I'm afraid she's going to either have to learn it, or she's going to have a hard time with the process. You need a boat load of patience, perseverance, and "waiting in the unknown."

VWP is not a visa, it's a waiver of a visa, and it lasts only 90 days, you have to leave the USA and come back in after a period time in order to get another 90 days. How did she have back to back tourist visa for 6 months?
