Paranoia sets in . . .

[olafgypsy 0]

OK, after reading the K-1 RFE master list I am completely freaking out, and here I thought I was all prepared. Here is what I was planning to send as evidence:

Primary Evidence:

E-mailed itinerary from my second trip to visit him

Boarding pass from my last trip to visit him

passport stamps from all 4 trips to visit him

Copy of credit card statement showing charges from Bogota last trip

Copy of bank statement showing atm withdrawals in Bogota last trip

Secondary Evidence:

10 personal emails from him to me spread out over two years

3 photographs -- 1 from when we first started dating in US, one from 2nd trip, one from last trip

Is this enough? Also, do copies of photographs have to be DUPLICATES, or can they just be color photocopies? And does the copy of my passport need to be in color? And finally, how much specificity are they looking for in the statement of how we met? I am unclear from the wording of the question whether it is meant to be a summary of our whole relationship, or simply a statement of our last meeting occurring within the past two years. If the former, how specific does it need to be? I am not the kind of person who remembers dates or obsessively saves things, so procuring this stuff has been a nightmare.

Any help much appreciated, as always.

I am curious what your RFE was about?

These are enough proofs of meeting your fiancee in person...

Looks ok to me too...

As for the photographs, some of us submitted the original ones, some scanned and printed them... Your passport can be a black and white copy or colored copy, whatever you will prefer. As for the statement of how you met, a precise, factual and accurate story will do... Just make sure it will collaborate to your evidences and supporting documents.

I hope I was able to help you... Lots of VJers here can give you more helpful advices but since they're not here right now, I thought I'd enlighten you with what I know...

Goodluck!

That looks good to me. Heck, it is more than I have sent in. I would not worry about anything until you actually get an REF... no sense in wasting time worrying about something that might not even happen. Good luck!!!

Looks fine to me. Boarding passes are always good and the most accepted form. Passport stamps are really good too.

Remember to write below or on the back of the photo the date and location of each of your photos. I just printed color copies on regular paper from my computer and wrote that info below each photo.

Also, I typed up an affedavit from a friend and had him sign it and date it, attesting that he was present when we first met in Mexico and also saw us together on subsequent specific dates and times in the USA for further proof of our meeting in person.

I haven't received an RFE, but if I did, I'd probably go a bit overboard just so I don't hold the process up any longer and leave now doubt in the reviewer's mind.

Hope this helps.
