You only need to prove meeting in person once within the last two years. So the new passport should be fine.

If it's any consolation, we didn't send a single boarding pass or passport stamp and were approved without RFE.

Thank you Laura Clare! I do feel better. Can I ask what sort of supporting evidence you provided to show you've met within the last two years and that you have an on going relationship? I'm surprised that they didn't ask for any passport stamps or boarding passes.

Again, so happy that you replied to my thread.

This is where this thread is going to confuse many. Getting an RFE for lack of evidence to prove you have met in the past two years almost always is due to a lack of primary evidence. Supplying more, or many photos (secondary evidence) will usually not overcome the burden of proof.

This has been borne out time and again by USCIS decisions whereby they have found mostly in favor of primary evidence and rejected secondary evidence such as photos when submitted as sole proof.

Primary evidence is documentary in nature: airline boarding passes, passport exit/entry stamps, hotel receipts, atm withdrawals in city of question, utility bills, apartment leases, etc.

Secondary evidence The USCIS defines secondary evidence as any documentation that can be used to supplement primary evidence but in itself cannot stand alone to prove ones assertions.

Photos are secondary; so are letters from relatives, neighbors or acquaintances, bus/train tickets and essentially anything that cannot be used to prove your point with a very high degree of certainty.

To sum up; very good Primary evidence with some secondary evidence = NO RFE

very weak Primary evidence with some, or lots of secondary= Possible RFE

No Primary evidence..........................................................= RFE

No Primary, lots of secondary.............................................= RFE

We have almost all our forms and supporting documents together for the I-129F K1 Fiance Visa Application. For the supplemental documents to prove that we've visited in the last two years, I have my passport and emails of confirmed itineraries from travel and airline companies.

My fiance who is Dutch received his new Dutch passport about 6 months ago, but has lost his old passport with all the stamps proving all the times he's visited me or we've traveled together in the past two years (which has been about a dozen times since he met me in 2010) The new passport only shows him visiting me in Chicago twice these past 6 months.

He's going to look for it again over the weekend, but what if he never finds the old passport? Are his emailed itineraries from airline companies enough? Also, I don't think either of us really kept any physical boarding passes either. Would just my emailed travel itineraries, my passport stamps, and his emailed travel itineraries be enough for primary evidence?

I appreciate any advice or if anyone else has had this experience. I just really don't want our application process to be delayed because of it.

Thank you!
