I'm planning to submit supporting evidence about our trips taken together and am wondering what's the best way to do that. Since our trips go back as far as 2012 I don't have tickets for most of them and the records on the airlines websites or frequent flier programs aren't all available. What I want to do is send in the emails with the flight/train confirmations. Is it enough to only submit the pages with information on the trips and our names? The pertinent information is always on the first page, but some of them print to 5 or so pages because of all the ads and whatnot at the end.

I regards to the leases and other supplemental things, is it ok to print double sided? After the first few pages of the leases with information about the rate, fees and general information there are additional pages about the heat rider, using gym equipment, a list of every time the building was checked out. Do you think it'd be ok to cut out those additional pages?

I'm the petitioner.

I don't recommend printing double sided, the back page may not be read and pertinent information missed.

Confirmations don't show that you actually took the trip so they are not really useful pieces of evidence.

So what would be the best way to document those old trips? I can dig up the tickets from when I've gone to visit my husband this past year and maybe a couple train tickets.

Also, since we were living together up until a year ago do you think trips taken prior to that point aren't as important to include? Those old trips are the one I can't find tickets for, but I do have pictures from everything.

I'm the petitioner.

Since you were living together and have evidence to that effect, I wouldn't worry too much if you are unable to find any past tickets. If you can't find tickets, do you have receipts from the places you visited?
