If you've visited the US provide tickets, receipts and your i94 history. Include more photos of your relationship. They don't want just engagement/wedding photos they want photos to prove you've actually been in a relationship. You could provide affidavits from friends/family to confirm you're in a true relationship and have them briefly describe a time they've spent with you both together.

These things you included, are there evidence of dates or just the month/date? Do you have photos AT the museum etc with the date including year on them? Are the airline tickets fully dated? (Some boarding passes are month/day only). Receipts from places you stayed at maybe?

I'm not 100% sure but original language and the translating sounds correct

They may be looking for something showing the two of you together with a date (that is what I'm missing from your list). It shows you in the country with a date, but not necessarily together. And the ones that show you together may not have had a date on them.

 

I went with passport stamps, I-94 and bank statements. The last one showed withdrawals and payments in the same cities and around the same time.

 

Than again, they may just have misplaced your original stuff.

thank you for the answer but in Algeria we dont have ATM at least in my city to my knowledge.

when my fiancee come in police did not stamp on her passport as a proof of entry to Algeria but when she left they stamped her passport and this made us held in ewe!!!! shall we provide only copy of stamp of leave is that enough?

[Fr8dog 312]

If you got it, might as well include it. I would resubmit previous evidence, the stamp and what ever else you can find that puts the two of you in the same area.

Might want to look into phone bills showing she was roaming at that time, credit card statements. Affidavits are not really useful. Receipts with dates are.

Also put the dates on the back of the photos
