EVIDENCE OF MEETING IN LAST TWO YEARS
Our I-129F application was just kicked back due to "insufficient evidence" that we
have met. I included copies of airline itineraries, and printed digital photos
(dated). I am now afraid that since it was kicked back, the INS has flagged us as a
"fun-to-audit" file and might look for more reasons to kick us back again. If I
include physical hard copies of dated photographs, will that be sufficient or should
I just bite the $1,800 bullet and hire an immigration attorney?
P.S. My fiancee is here with me as I type this! (Frustrating!)
(She is from Canada and I am from Southern California)
I suppose we could get in the car and drive to Laguna Niguel together!?!?!?
Please help!

Re: EVIDENCE OF MEETING IN LAST TWO YEARS
You included the correct evidence. That is all we and countless others have included and have been accepted without problem.
Since she is there with you, why not do up a letter stating you two are together now on such and such a date, take it to a notary, have them witness your signatures and date and send that along with a photograph of you two together taken on that date with a copy of the front page of the newspaper held in front of you to prove the date.
Let them get around that.

Re: EVIDENCE OF MEETING IN LAST TWO YEARS
Bit of overkill Charles but glad it worked well for you. The Service Center is looking for proof that you have physically met not in proof of the emotional aspects of your relationship or the involvement of other people.
My Canadian husband lived 8 driving hours from me but we visited once every other weekend during the fall of 1997 (August through November) and spring of 1998 (April through June) both before and during the I-129F processing, its approval and the wait for the K-1 interview. Never had any proof of those drive throughs. I spent a total of five weeks at his house in Canada during that time and he spent a month at mine before the K-1 interview. The only evidence we had was one measly photo of us together and my airline boarding passes and one stamp in my passport.
Our 129F was approved in less than 10 days from mailing to receipt of final NOA in my hands and all with only the very same evidence that Dennis provided.
Guess my point is that Dennis is not wrong, nor are you right, in the amounts of evidence you chose to send with your application. I'm just afraid Dennis will look at your list and think he was negligent in someway in completing his petition when that is not the case at all.

I would agree that if that is all you submitted, it isn't enough. The dates on the
photos is easily adjustable, and an itinerary doesn't prove travel. Do you have
boarding passes or airline FF mileage statments?
If she is current here, why not just get married and adjust?

Rete I was not trying to say anyone was wrong I just wanted to let him know what
we had sent. Maybe we did over kill a little but one thing I know for sure is we
have set a date of Dec 31 2002 for our wedding and just did not want them to have
any reason to deny or delay the petition because I already know that an I601 will
be required
