Proof of Bona Fide relationship

[TakeTheSky 0]

first off, my fiancee and I are in a very happy REAL relationship. We have met three times in just over a year. she is from the US, I from the UK.

 

We have lots of photos of us together and 5 or six photos of us withher friends/family.

 

i Have my tickets from the last trip, valentines day cards to one another, a letter her sister sent to me and we have a joint Instagram account. 

 

Would this be considered strong proof? I'm kind of worried about the whole process. we have begun it yet. 

 

bills are out of the question unless there is some way for us to have a letter with our names on it while in different counties.

 

ant advice or thoughts would be so helpful.

This sounds fine.  Your having met 3 times in just over a year is the strongest element.

 

In regard to meeting, USCIS will care only that you have met in person once during the last 2 years.

 

You'll eventually be interviewing for your visa at the London embassy.  Read the relevant "Reviews & Info" (see tab atop any VJ page), and read through threads in the United Kingdom regional forum.  My sense is that their emphasis is on qualifying financially, and that there are typically few questions about the nature of bona fide relationships.

Thanks for responding. Financially speaking she qualifies. She recently stepped down from a verywell paid job but still qualifies.. not by an enormous difference but still. 

 Would you recommend hiring an attorney or something like rapidvisa? I'm hearing different things. 

 

Thanks again

I suggest reading through the guide here and reading/re-reading the forms yourself first. Even if you were to ultimately go with an attorney or service/agency, it's your case so you need to be informed anyway.

 

That said, unless your case has complications, there isn't a benefit to using either of them. It will take just as long to get the visa (~8-10+ months currently). It will require gathering the same information to fill out the forms and attach with your packet. You're essentially paying somebody to copy the information into a form, and review a checklist...all while adding one more person in the middle (who can always be a cause for delays and/or misunderstandings).

 

Others have used services without issues and are happy with their decision. Some of them had issues with RapidVisa. RapidVisa itself isn't bad (IMHO), but they have provided very bad advice in some cases and never take any responsibility for it or issue a refund for their incorrect information.

Either way, look over the guide and instructions, then figure out if it's something you can handle on your own (with help here for specific questions, if you have any!).
