(K1) Apartment rental contract as evidence of continuing relationship

[Rick R.]

I've just spent the last 3 months visiting my fiancee in China. During this time, we stayed at various hotels in Beijing and rented an apartment in Shenzhen. We asked the apartment manager to draft a signed and stamped contract to use as evidence that I came to China to visit my fiancee. We have a choice now about putting only my name down or putting both our names on the contract.

 

I recall reading somewhere that some VO claimed a K1 couple were already married because they had a credit card in both their names or some such thing. It seems ridiculous but you never know with GUZ...

 

What do you guys think would be the most beneficial evidence to provide -- A contract in only my name to show that I visited China, or a contract in both our names to show that I didn't just visit, but we stayed together ?

 

Another thing is will I need to have this contract translated into English or will they accept it as-is for evidence of my visit?
