What should we be doing for more evidence?

[AfricanBweBwe 1]

My partner is Ugandan and I’m from the US. we met Feb 2019 when I first came to Uganda, and have been in a relationship ever since. I stayed in Uganda living with him (no real proof) for two months, and then went back to US for one month. I then moved back in with him in Uganda and we’ve been together now for about 8 or 9 months. 

 

I’m going back to US this month to make money so we can afford to apply for fiancé or spousal visa. Now I’m wondering... what should I be doing while I’m still in Ugandan to strengthen our future visa application?

 

Our evidence right now is just photos/videos, phone calls.. he has met my grandmother when she came here. We have passport stamps and train tickets together from a trip to Kenya. What solid evidence can we get while I’m still here? 

 

Thank you in advance for all of your advice.

When my wife and I were doing our K1 and our AoS she made sort of a small book collage like with our pictures and the date, time, where and what we were doing underneath separated by the years I went to visit.   Try and go on some trips together, take pictures and keep the ticket stubs, bus passes with you two holding them and take the picture and put them in the picture booklet.  Take pictures with her family, my wife and I went bungee jumping and we included that in our K1 pictures collage, try and keep plane tickets, hotels receipts of you visiting her/him try and visit 2 or 3 times before going to do the K1 .  Make what you have now listed in to like a story book.

Look for posts about the embassy he'll be going through, they may have more detailed info about what is required at the interview. You got way more already than I ever had, but I'm from a low fraud country and went through an easy consulate. You have some additional time, you may want to ask in the regional forum to get better answers for you specific needs before heading back to the states.

Thank you for the thoughtful ideas! I had planned on creating a scrapbook like this once I returned to the US, and it’s reassuring to hear that others have had a similar idea  for the visa or not, it’s will still be something special to have!
