Maling I-129F today, One question

[Minya's wife 25]

I'm ready to mail my application but I have one last thing that I need some advice on please.

The time I spent w/ my fiancee occured in two countries, so my question is regarding the proof of meeting needed for the I-129F petition. Here's my story: (...and I'm ticking to it! )

We initally met in Hungary (and this is what my "Describe how you met" paragraph) but traveled separately to Romania where we spent time together. I have all the proof that I traveled to Hungary (e-ticket itinerary, boarding passes, copy of page from my passport showing arrival to Hungary stamp) but because we then left Hungary and went to Romania, I need further documentary proof right? The town/village in Romania where we stayed is our "hometown" (he was born there, and that is where my grandmother lives) therefore we did not stay in hotels....he stayed w/ his parents and I w/ my grandmother . I copied the page in my passport showing the stamp into Romania, and I also have the corresponding page from my fiance's passport. I also have my bank statement showing money withdrawal in Romania and Hungary. I've also written a few lines of explanation on a separate sheet of paper.

Is this OK, or should leave all of this out, and just send the proof that I have for visiting Hungary?

Please advise!

Thanks!

Do you have pictures together? That provides very good evidence of meeting. Also, any kind of receipt that shows the times, dates, cities and countries that you are stating in your description will bolster your position.

First you have met the proof of meeting, just explain next steps and include what you have. Explain family already being there, hopefully you did have some pictures and receipts to verify.

Yes, I have photos(dated) which I have included as part of "proof". Its just that since the time I spent w/ my fiance was in two countries, I need to document both. I'm trying to avoid an RFE. (I'm using my passport to prove my citizenship, and as per instructions I've copied ALL the pages of my passport, which has all my entry/exit stamps. I do not want to get an RFE because they're confused.)

Thanks for the advice.

I think you will be fine.

I would only further suggest (if you haven't already) that you highlight the dates on the copies of the pages of your passport that have your entry/exit stamps on them and make sure you label the back of each picture with names and dates in permanent ink....

I would include any information about where you had met - it doesn't matter the country.

As far as you staying with family, and not in a hotel, that is fine to include. I lived in Brazil (where I met my fiance) and then when I went back I stayed with a friend and then him. I had roommates while living there and no rent receipts but it wasn't necessary to prove that because I had proof that I worked there.

We only have one hotel receipt from one trip we took out of town together and I sent that.
