Another pestery thread on relationship evidence...

[NealandCari 0]

I know this is a bit annoying, but if anyone has a few moments to spare to give me some peace of mind, it would be appreciated muchly! I'm so so close to sending off my petition, and I'm getting uber-nervous about everything. And I'd love to avoid an RFE.

Following is a list of the evidence I have to submit. I know it's impossible to say what's enough and whether they'll believe you, but I'm just wondering, ballpark-wise, if it's sufficient or seems like too much, or whatever:

Stamps to UK in my passport (January 2005, May-August 2005, January 2006, June-December 2006)

Fiance's stamps to US in his passport (March-April 2005, May 2005, October 2005, March 2006, May 2006)

Copy of British Airways sticker on the front of fiance's passport with date, flight number, and his name. (October 2005)

Postcard I sent to him from Italy saying I was looking forward to seeing him. (March 2005)

Email Correspondence about his flight back in April 2005.

E-Confirmation/Itinerary for my trip to UK January 2006.

Copy of tram ticket from fiance's visit in March 2006.

E-Confirmation/Itinerary for fiance's trip to US May 2006.

E-Confirmation/Itinerary for my trip to UK June-December 2006.

Bank statement with activity in the UK August-September 2006.

Letter with my National Insurance Number sent to me at fiance's address in the UK September 2006.

Letter about my new UK bank account sent to me at fiance's address in the UK, signed by me November 2006.

Copies of 4 receipts from my trip to the UK June-December 2006 (including one for a Christmas present I bought fiance!).

17 photos of us together over the trips, with location and date identified, including ones when my dad visited and met his parents and when fiance met my grandma, aunt and uncle.

Also, on a completely different note, I emailed my fiance a filled-out letter of intent for him to print and sign and send back, and I put 2006 instead of 2007! He didn't notice, and I didn't realize until I got it back in the mail. (It was January 2nd and I wasn't thinking!) Do I need to get him to send another one? My dad the lawyer says, since I technically have his permission, I can fix this with a pen and forge my fiance's initials...

Thanks in advance!

Obviously that is enough evidence. Nothing can PROVE to USCIS that you have met your fiance (when photos can be doctored, any evidence can be created really). You're looking to convince them that it's likely you have. I think you have done it.

Re: the letter of intent, I don't know that it will be a big deal to fix it yourself if you're about to file. If it's going to make you bite your nails for months until you get your NOA2, just get another letter from him. That's only my .02 though.

Best of luck!

Looks like you got everything in order and ready to file your I-129F anytime now. As for the letter of intent to marry, I'm sure it won't hurt if you will get a new one from your fiancee instead of correcting it yourself and get an RFE later. And oh, you might want to include a certified copy of your birth certificate as proof of citizenship. Just my .02 too

I got a birth certificate recently from the vital records office, but I'm not sure if it's short form or long form or whether it matters. And does this mean it's certified?

What matters is that your parents' names are on it. It's certified from the vital records office.

If you don't want to submit original copy of your birth certificate, you can ask for a certified copy from the vital records. Some say they were asked for long form of birth certificate but I think as long as the name of your parents are written on it, it doesn't matter if it's long or short.
