Maintaining a relationship for 6 whole years is surely some sort of proof that your relationship is sincere -- as long as you can prove it with telephone logs, or SKYPE records, hotel receipts, plane boarding passes (time spent together) etc.

The lack of a 500-guest wedding with all families present is just not practical or financially possible where the two countries are so far apart. So, just present your relationship as it is, with proof, and you should be OK.

My husband and I are very similar to your situation. We met online about a year and a half ago. I'm from the states and he's from Canada. Due to his job and the economy, he wasn't able to take time off to visit me. I was able to visit him 3 times. We have phone records, web cam chat, and msn logs. With our application, we sent one email for every month, all the phone, web cam chat logs, pics, wedding pics, anything that was proof that we talk and stayed in cantact. We sent the application out and got a sponsor apporval letter and are now waiting on the desicion from the regional office in Buffalo. If you have any questions, please send a private message or reply here. I'm more than happy to help :)

We got married in BC at his apartment. We had a very small wedding 7 altogether, my family and his brother (the rest of his family were far away or they don't talk to each other.) We had a marriage commisioner do the ceremony. We didn't spend money on a tux or wedding dress and are not jewlery wearers. We used that money and helped an African humanatarian organization and were able to feed 2 families for a year and provide goats and chickens. (We felt it was a much better use of our money then on rings/clothes.) After that, my mother cooked a huge meal and we just had a very nice time celebrating after the ceremony. :)

I would call my wife on SKYPE OUT (my computer to her cel phone), and then she would turn on her computer so we could chat free.

I never learned how to print out normal SKYPE (computer to computer) conversations, but there is a history of SKYPE OUT calls you can print out, and then explain to CIC that these (daily) short calls were a signal to start a computer-to-computer chat.
