Relationship Timeline Maker for Your Visa or Your Story
Add your moments, see the gaps, print a clean dated timeline. Everything stays on your phone.
Quick answer
Pick what the timeline is for (K-1, US spouse, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, or just for you), tap the moments you have had (first message, first time you met in person, visits, engagement) and add a date, place, a line on what happened and the evidence you have. The timeline sorts itself, counts your days together in person, flags long times apart you may want to explain, and prints a dated table with your photos as numbered exhibits. Save it as a PDF from the print window. Nothing is uploaded; this is not legal advice.
This free relationship timeline maker turns your dates into one clean, dated document: a short summary, a table of every moment (first message, each visit, engagement, moving in) with the place and the evidence you have, and your photos as numbered exhibits. Use it for a K-1, spouse or partner visa, or keep it as your story. It runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded, and there is no sign-up.
How does the timeline maker work?
- Pick what it is for. US fiance(e) K-1, US spouse, UK partner, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, or Just for us. The suggestions and the document title follow your pick.
- Tap a moment. First message, first call, first met in person, visit, met the family, engaged. Add the date now; the place, a line on what happened and the evidence can wait. Only know the month? Tick the box.
- Look at the gaps. The timeline sorts itself and counts your days together in person. Any stretch of three months or more between meetings gets a note, so you can add why you were apart and how you stayed in touch.
- Print it. Tap Print or save as PDF. You can also download a spreadsheet (CSV), a backup file, or a keepsake image for your story.
What counts as proof of relationship for a K-1 visa?
USCIS asks for proof that you met in person at least once in the 2 years before you file, and that you both mean to marry within 90 days of arrival. Immigration lawyers usually suggest evidence spread across the whole relationship, not one trip:
- Meeting in person: dated photos together, boarding passes, hotel bookings, passport stamps.
- Staying in touch: call logs, chat screenshots over many months, emails about plans.
- Shared life and plans: engagement photos, letters from family or friends, plans for the wedding.
The timeline is the map that ties this together. Pick K-1 and the maker shows when your last meeting was and the date it falls outside the 2-year window. This page is not legal advice; follow the official checklist for your visa, linked inside the tool.
What makes a good relationship timeline?
- Facts, not a love letter. One plain line per moment: what, where, who was there.
- Every row points to evidence. The maker numbers each row with evidence or photos as an exhibit, so an officer can find the proof.
- No unexplained gaps. Months apart are normal in a long distance relationship. Say why and how you kept in touch.
- Dates that match your forms. Check that the dates agree with your application, tickets and passport stamps.
Living apart until the visa comes through? Our long distance relationship tips and video call ideas help with the wait, and the countdown until I see you counts the days to the next visit.
Can we use it as a keepsake?
Yes. Pick Just for us, add your firsts and trips, and save the keepsake image for your story or print the document for an anniversary album. Want to know how many days it has been? The anniversary calculator counts every milestone, and the dates you saved there can be added to the timeline in one tap.
What are the limits?
- Your timeline is saved in this browser only. Clearing browser data deletes it, so download the backup file from time to time.
- Photos are not in the partner link. Each of you adds your own photos on your own device.
- The maker does not check your evidence or tell you if it is enough. Only the visa office decides that.
- On iPhone, use Share and then Save to Files in the print window to get a PDF.

FAQ
What should a relationship timeline for a visa include?
One row per moment, in date order: the date, what happened, where, and which evidence backs it up (photos, boarding passes, chat screenshots). Start with how you met, then each time you were together in person, the day you became a couple, meeting family, engagement or moving in, and any long time apart with how you stayed in touch. The maker prints all of this as a table with a short summary on top.
Is this a template USCIS requires?
No. USCIS has no official relationship timeline form for a K-1 or spouse petition. A timeline is a summary that helps an officer read your evidence; the evidence itself (photos, travel records, messages) is what counts. Immigration New Zealand does offer an optional partnership timeline with its checklist. Always follow the official checklist for your visa.
What is the K-1 two-year meeting rule?
For a K-1 fiance(e) visa, USCIS says you must have met in person at least once in the 2 years before you file the petition, unless you get a waiver. When you pick K-1, the maker shows the date of your last meeting in the list and the date 2 years later.
Are my photos and dates uploaded anywhere?
No. The timeline is saved in your browser, and photos are kept in this browser's storage on your device. The partner link holds the text only (no photos). To move to another device, download the backup file and open it there.
How do I make it a PDF?
Tap Print or save as PDF. In the print window, pick Save as PDF (on iPhone, tap Share and then Save to Files). The document has a summary, the timeline table and a photo section with each photo labeled as an exhibit.
Can my partner add to it?
Yes. Tap Send to partner. They open the link, add what you missed and send it back. When you open their link, tap Merge into mine and the new moments join your list.
Should we explain time apart?
It usually helps. Long gaps without a word can raise questions, so the maker marks any stretch of three months or more between meetings and lets you add a short note on why you were apart and how you kept in touch, like daily video calls.
