K1 Visa RFE- Proof of having met within the last two years

[BritGirl88 43]

 

My friend is currently undergoing to the K1 process and needs some advise. She is from Toronto, Canada and her Fiancé is from Indianapolis, Indiana.

She received an RFE last week requesting evidence that they have seen each the within the past two years.

The suggestions on the letter (passport stamps, plane tickets etc), she cannot provide as they have only ever driven to see each other. They constantly go back and forth from Canada to Indiana but only by car and so there are no flight confirmations they can provide. Also, when Canadian's cross the border to the US, their passports are not stamped. The only proof they have are pictures, a lot of which she has already submitted.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions of other things they can provide as proof? As of right now, a detailed statement of all the times they've spent together is the only thing she can think of to provide.

How about credit card statements of purchases they've done in the same place? If one goes to visit to Indianapolis, purchases done in Indianapolis. If the other goes to Canada, then purchases in the city where the other person resides. 

 

That is something that comes to mind. 

 

They could also provide a letter from a close family member stating the times the other person has been to visit. This is not hard proof but it would also help as a witness.

Even if the passport is not stamped, if it is scanned, then they will have an I-94. You can look them up here: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/. The listings of I-94s will verify she was in the US and the dates, however it still doesn't prove you actually met face to face (but is still good to include). Photos can be provided and help, but are secondary evidence so don't rely on them alone.

 

Do they have any hotel receipts with their names on them? Event tickets with names + dates, or verifiable photos to match up with those tickets? Other receipts (or credit card statements) showing a date & location, possibly nearby to each other?

That is such a great suggestion. Thanks so much, I'll definitely tell her.
