Sanity check on evidence of having met in the last 2 years

So the tickets that you are referring to are e-tickets right?

The confirmation emails from our trip reservations, when he comes to visit me or I go to visit him or when we meet somewhere.

Are these sufficient though? I have these but I am wondering if an actual receipt with the guest names is needed on it post staying at the hotel. I have requested for one from a hotel we stayed at in the Mediterranean last month. They said they will do their best to get it to me by tomorrow. I am going to try something similar with another hotel that scanned both our passports at checkin. Fingers crossed!

Oh wow...are you just sending more of the same or are you using different types of evidence? Please do let us know...Thanks in advance.

did you send a copy of stamped passport?

We are now sending bank statements, showing we both made transactions on the same day In the same location. Re-sending photo's, as I don't think we put names, dates and locations on the back. A full page statement outlining the times we have met, and how the receipts relate to this. Also passport stamps for myself. His driving licence showing he obtained it the day after my car hire ended. Our car insurance in both names.

I am not sure if those are enough we have travelled like 20 times in the last two years we have tons of pictures. But I was reading in another post that this is just secondary evidence. So it makes me wander if it will be enough.

Hi, I see that someone got an RFE, sent in the additional evidence, and got an approval 2 days later. I'm wondering if this is common. I feel like a dope, but I didn't submit photos or email/facebook messages with our application. I only did the minimum they suggested (the passport stamps, boarding passes, air tickets etc), although I did that thoroughly. We have received the NOA1. But from what I'm now reading, I'm guessing we'll get an RFE. Hence my question. Also wondering fi I should try to send in additional evidence now, or would that just confuse matters (?) Thanks to anyone who is kind enough to offer any thoughts :-)

Definitely get the photos in. I am trying to have my application done this weekend. I hope to pick my photos by iconic locations such as the Blue Mosque (Istanbul).

There are people that sent no photos, received no RFE and were approved. You won't necessarily get an RFE.

Alright folks, I am hoping to have my i-129F and G325A with all the documentation out in the mail tomorrow morning. Just rounding up my last bits of evidence and had a few more questions:

a. My fiancee and I met in Turkey last month. She has lost her boarding passes but for some strange reason, I have mine. Do I need to send the actual boarding passes of evidence of the fact that I was in Turkey at the same time as my fiancee or will a color photocopy of the boarding passes suffice?

b. My fiancee and I have taken two trips together in the last 8 months - one in India and one in Turkey. I want to make sure I send photos associated with both trips. I heard somewhere that there was an upper limit of 5 photos. Did any of you try sending more than 5? Is that a deal-breaker?

c. Do I need to sign and date the photos and other forms of evidence of an ongoing relationship?

d. To prove that my fiancee and I met in Turkey last month, I have the following:

- A photocopy of the passport stamp showing the day I arrived and departed from Turkey. My fiancee has the same thing.

- Boarding passes indicating when I arrived and departed from Turkey.

- A stamp with my arrival date on a copy of my electronic Turkish visa.

- An domestic airline reservation with both our names on it.

- A hotel receipt from one of the hotels we stayed at in Turkey with both our names on it.

- Photos of the two of us at several iconic locations in Turkey.

Is the above enough as evidence? Please do let me know.

It would be great if you could respond to my questions at your earliest convenience. Thank you all for the help so far. You folks have been beyond amazing. I could not have done this without you.
