Until the approval do you think he would email you a bit more just so you have something to give?

also phone records work.

all the emails in the world from his "parents" may not be enough as your not marrying them

Do you guys use IM? get him to use it if you can and dont already, 2-3 chats will do you just fine at the interview.

good luck

Germany isn't what I would consider a high fraud country, so you're probably ok with the evidence you have. I'd be worried for you if you were coming through Eastern Europe or the Phillipines. Still, it never hurts to have as much evidence as possible, so get that man to write more. Best of luck to you.

Don't take that as a slam. Just means that as a PI filer you're going to have to be extra diligent in ensuring that your proof of an ongoing relationship is convincing. If you're in a similar situation as the OP, I would be worried and would definitely take steps to improve the quality/quantity of evidence. But if you're staying in regular contact and have sound evidence, then there's nothing to be worried about, even in a high fraud rate country.

We are email chatters on gmail and send very few emails. When we do send emails they aren't personal, but junk that would be sent to other friends. Our chats are great, but are weird and random sometimes. We did send some of our chats, but we concentrated a lot on out phone calls (every other week), pictures, things that we sent snail mail, etc. Our lawyer also added in some of the sappy emails his mom and I wrote to each other. He said that because we (soon to be mom-in-law and I) talk so dearly about the relationship of my fiancé and myself that it would bode well for us. His office processes thousands of people a year for visas, so I figure he knows what he's talking about. He told us to have a minimum of 8 different photos and he wanted some to include engagement if possible. Also he wanted us to show a bill of sale for the engagement ring. We couldn't because it was a family piece, but we could show the ring, it's value (based on evaluation from a jeweler), and a bill of it being sized for me in India.

The lawyer said things like flight schedules of trips to see my fiancé, when I cashed my traveler's checks there, etc. Would show not only that we saw each other, but substantiate the relationship. I even saved a reciept of a fancy place we went to dinner that he paid for while I was in India.

My guy is the same way about emails so don't worry. You'll be fine.
