Scott,
I made no comment as to whether the information Lee provided for proof of having met was adequate. Like you, I would not put only 1 picture of my fiancee and me together - I sent 6. No cock fights, either! I am concerned that Lee included only 1 picture of himself and his fiancee together, but it's too late to do anything about that now. At least Dulles Airport isn't a cock fight.
I did address proof of relationship, and I have yet to see anyone get an RFE on that issue as long as they included the required statements of intent.
Thanks for the comment about me being "cool". It ain't easy being me, and nobody else seems to want to do it!
Best regards, JEff

I am sure that if everyone went with the minimum of what the instructions say that we would see even more RFE's than we do. I have heard time and time again that too much info is better than not enough as long as it is not too much.
So, if you only put one picture of you together and the background of that picture is of a Filipino Cock Fight verses 5 or 6 pictures that show that you have traveled together, been at romantic places, met families, etc... Well you get my point....
When I filled mine out, I thought of it like my first home loan. I could have done just the minimum according to the instructions, maybe it would have been OK, maybe not. Not worth loosing sleep over it though. Don't mean to be negative towards Jeff, (You are a cool person), and I have seen many people that in my opinion did a poor job with their I-129f get approved without a problem, Others who did a real good job got RFE's for something stupid. Adding more, doing more, is just a little extra insurance. I think that the trick is to not loose any sleep over it if you have already mailed it

The I-129F instructions say to submit ONE photo of yourself and ONE photo of
your fiancé.

Mee too, I only included one adit photo of me, and one adit photo of my fiance. Immigration lawyer said this was sufficient. I kept the remaining photos (one of me, 3 of him) for future use if necessary.

The I-129f requires one (1) photo each of the USC petitioner and the foreign fiance(e) beneficiary. (Instruction 6.A.) The G-325A does not call for a photograph (or 4).
As to your original question and subject line - the I-129f requires proof of having met in person within the last 2 years. (Instruction 5.A.) It does not require anything in the way of proof of relationship other than a statement of intent from each of you. (Instruction 5.B.) You may submit evidence if you wish, but it is not required.
Regards, JEff

Further note....I did however, include as proof of relationship, about 15 original photos showing us together over the course of 6 years...some of us alone and some with friends and family around.

When I went to the photo shop I meant to write 4 copies of each. However, I accidentaly wrote 44. I still find them floating all over my house. If one day I ever become famous, I will autograph them and sell them on eBay

I think I DIDN'T submit enough proof, we only sent 2 pix and filled the forms out... filed these in November 2002 and have been told to wait 60/80 days and a month ago it was moved to 150/180 days... I called the Service centre 2 days ago and they tell me that all looks good and we should be passed by the end of May... not knowing now if the I-129f is going to be passed I asked them again and the lady on the phone said to me that we (me and my partner) are in good shape and have nothing to worry about, but after reading here I'm now thinking what is going to happen... I don't think we've sent enough and does anyone know what we could do to stop the I-129f from being turned away and then waiting 6 more months...
If anyone has any help or answers then thank you for your help

Karl,
You should stop believing everything you hear, especially when it's all contradictory.
Sit back and wait for the official response. If you get an RFE, respond to it. It you get an approval, jump for joy. There's really nothing else you can do.
