photos as 'evidence' of meeting (I129F)

(now wishing i had saved all those atm and restaurant, hotel etc receipts that i ripped up and threw out when they were clogging up my wallet! although i suppose a credit card bill will nicely itemize all that, hmm?)

Yes, that would be a good way to show all of your purchases in that country (to prove you were there since your credit card can't really board a plane by itself). We sent about a dozen or two pages of just credit card summaries from each visit (make sure you black out account numbers, but not names).

Also, as far as you boarding passes go, like other people suggested in your other thread try to print your ticket confirmation (to show you purchased the flight) and copy the passport stamp. Put those on the same page or on the page after so they can see "Ok, they purchased this flight and this passport stamp shows they got off on this day in this country."

Have your fiance(e) do the same if they have traveled here.

Good luck!

you may want to read my old RFE post to gather more data but in general make it very clear and ver simple i.e. write nothing on the back because they must turn the item over then. Highlight circle all dates and info. The said that even though my boarding pass and passport visa had same day and month the year was not shown on the boarding pass so I did not prove I was there when I said I was!!!. The year month and day were on the baggage claim stub that was also included. Some people say do not send to much I think in hind sight I would go with alittle less phone records online chats and more reciptes of what where when and why. Again photocopy all onto a 8 by 11 with large spaces left on the front so you can lable in large print who when where. on the RFE I went so far as to circle the calender in the photo of our engagement party and wrote Date on the side.

When I got done I that any one reading would be insulted as it would apper I thought it was for a idiot to prosses but in reality maybe thats what they wanted and it was very clear sailing through the prosses afterwords. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Vn has a very high fraud rate so the standard they use for Vn visa is most likely higher then other countries

Good Luck

Yes, definitely highlight very important information, like dates and locations on credit card statements and dates and locations on boarding passes or flight confirmations. We got an RFE for not enough proof of having met and sent back a big stack of evidence, but we made sure to label everything at the top, front and highlight everything they might have to search for.

While we may think "duh, turn the picture over" or "look a little harder and you'll find it", these people are stuck in a room all day having to look at these petitions (and other cases). If it's not right in front of them and easy to read, they generally won't take the time to find it. As they shouldn't. Our job is to make it as easy and painless as possible for the adjucaters to say "yep, everything looks good...approved!"

Put yourself in their place. If a petition is a pain in the butte to get the necessary info from they may just set it aside or stick it in the RFE file.

Make it as easy for them as you can.

Don't put tabs at the bottom as I did tho as they just ripped them off.
