Editing personal info from letters

[rebecchina 0]

Hi all,

Question about evidence of ongoing relationship for the I-129F. I'd like to send a few letters from my fiance to me, which I will have to translate from Spanish (he is Cuban). But the guide says "edit personal info" with a marker - what would that personal info be? Private and/or explicit language, or all personal info that has identifying characteristics?

A different question: I know that evidence of meeting is more important right now, and that passport stamps and the like are privileged evidence. However, because of the political situation between the US and Cuba, US passports are never stamped and visas (which are stamped) are collected by Cuban authorities upon leaving Cuba. I'm not sure I kept boarding passes for the previous trips to Cuba (I have the ones for most recent trip). Any suggestions for other primary evidence? Luckily I have educational licenses for each time I traveled to Cuba, and I'm sending those along to prove, if nothing else, that I was there legally.

By the way, even though it doesn't look like it, i have filled out a timeline. But since i'm preparing to send in the I-129F it looks like i haven't done anything. For some reason my foreign country identification (cuba) doesn't show up in my timeline.

Since you understand that evidence of meeting is the "must" requirement for the I-129F, in what way do you think the "evidence of relationship" you will submit will support or enhance your evidence of meeting?

Mark out anything you consider too personal for the government's eyes. Perhaps you'll mark out nothing.

As for evidence of meeting, I would find those boarding passes, if possible and any receipts for tickets. Add your licenses if they actually show evidence of being in Cuba. Add receipt for hotels or meals in Cuba and pictures of the two of you together. Pictures are secondary but useful.

Why is this in the China Regional discussion?

rebecchina,

My sense is that if you feel you want to edit something out of a document to be used for evidence of relationship then you shouldn't be submitting that document at all - look for a different document that you are comfortable leaving untouched. Nothing says 'RFE me' better than an altered document.

I think the reference to editing personal info means don't go spreading your SSN, credit card and bank account numbers, things like that, around unnecessarily. Identity theft is a real concern in the USA, don't invite it.
