Hi everyone,
My UKC fiance and I have been together for 4+ years. When filling out the I-129 F and providing evidence of our relationship, should we limit it to the past two years (since that is all they require) or include information since we met? To me it seems hard to just do the last two years and not include anything prior to that but I just don't know if they get annoyed by having more than they ask for, etc. Does anyone have or has anyone had this similar situation, if so what did you do or what do you advise?
Thanks
Stephanie

You need to show that you've met within the past two years, not that you've had a relationship for two years. So a few photos together, boarding passes, flight details, photocopies of passport stamps, etc is all that's required.
You only need to show you have an on-going relationship at the embassy interview stage (and it seems that quite often in London they don't even bother).

We knew each other longer than 2 years also, and we did not limit the evidence to the past 2 years. We included previous evidence, along with proof that we met in person during the past 2 years.

My thoughts echo Rene's thought -- but do not go overboard on it. I would put in STRONG evidence of having met within the last two years and minimal evidence of relationship. And BTW, sometimes the evidence regarding meeting in the last two years may include evidence pre-dating that time.
