Proof of engagement. Please help!

[lilynmichael]

Heres my problem:
My fiance and I met the last time I was in the US on a tourist visa to visit friends from my year as an exchange student. We dated for a while last summer but then broke up. after I left we started talking again and he proposed to me via ********. I don't wanna take the rist of getting married on a tourist visa, since that would be visa fraud, but I'm afraight that maybe I can't get a fiancee visa, because we don't have enough proof of our engagement and our relationship in general. We can prove that I was there through plane tickets and our friends and family could validate our relationship and engagement, but we weren't very well situated financially, so we don't have any bills to prove that we were living together, no cellphone bills and no pictures of us together. I am very worried that that will not be enough and don't know what to do, so any advice would be very welcome!

Honestly, your worries are real. If you dont even have pictures taken together, there is no way you can proove them that you actually met your fiance while visiting in the States! maybe before you guys apply for anything, he should go and visit you again. spend some time with you and your family, take pictures, visit places.. just be a normal couple at first.
Although, there are other things you can use as a proof as well. If you use skype to talk to each other you can provide all the calls you made. You can show ******** status and engagement announcement. the plane tickets are definitely good, so keep them. however, the pictures taken together are truly one important thing!

You don't have any pictures from when you were dating that summer? If not, maybe you could travel back temporarily with the tourist Visa and take plenty of pictures. An engagement party would be a great idea for that. Then you could apply for the K1 after you go back. Just an idea.

Just do not mention to customs that you are engaged if you travel with the tourist Visa!
