Proof of ongoing relationship posted: 08/01/11 at 2:54 AM

| I was told by immigration that I need to make 3 copies of any cards/letters including post marks and have them notary stamped. What about emails? Is it sufficient to print 3 copies and just sign all 3? Doesn't seem like those should be notarized because the copies are all just copies of the e-mail. I think I am over analizing things but I am about to send it off and want to make sure it is all in order like it should be.

| When I sent my proof of relationship I just printed them and sent them after emails and msn logs it was a good 4 inches thick, my cards and hand written letters we sent the originals, which hubby was given back at his interview, we didn't have to notarize anything simply because it was original. The reason for the copies is in case they lose anything BE SURE to make yourself copies and have them backed up for your own records just in case.

| Just out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking, how long did your whole process take? He is from New Zealand but his interview will be in London and I was looking on Visa Journey and the timelines were all over the place. There was no rhyme or reason as to country/processing center etc.

| Hubby and I had a very long timeline, we filled in May and the whole process was over August the following year. There's a decent site it's called trackitt and you put in all your information as you get it and it counts down for you and you can compare people filling out of the same Embassy. It's a bit different for me because I'm Canadian you don't need a visa to marry here so we were able to get married while he was on his visit, but the rest of the process was agonizing.

With us the time line was in different stages.
We also did it ourselves. He moved to me (Florida), we married and started the process. Boring! Ultra boring which is why most give up to pay the lawyers to do all the reading. But doing this on your own saves you Thousands. And you have to read everything. You will be referred to a different section to a certain case that refers you to yet another and then another. If you miss just ONE you can be rejected. All fees are kept and you have to begin again.
I was his sponsor (I had a full time Job), and a long term established residence. As far as mailing copies of everything we included photos, emails cards and souvenirs of vacations. With permission of friends, I typed out letters adding their name address and phone. Those who knew us and knew our story.
Though we were told the Interview would be separate we were Interviewed as a couple.
Before your partner leaves his country, he may have to obtain proof of good conduct...(Can't recall what it's called) This is a document from his city stating there are no Wants or Warrants nor unpaid tickets or Violations. That was required for Canada to USA

| AND be precise to the given directions! If it says signed and doesn't mention notarization ONLY do what the AP says. They have the right to reject your application for as little as a missed signature. ALTHOUGH we had a few returned that I neglected to sign. For the most part the process was smooth.

Visa Journey is the most valuable tool for you and the process. No matter what you are going through, others have gone before you and you can look up anything you have questions about. It also gives step by step lists for your applications.

Good luck!
