Proof of an ongoing relationship

[HYENA 4]

You seem to know A LOT about this process from all the posts I've read in the past. I have a question for you, and I hope you could help me. Okay, we're not at the interview stage yet, but I have a lot of things ready to show on-going proof of our relationship. I save everything. The things I have saved so far are phone bills, photos of my fiance & I, photos with friends & family, flight itineraries, flight tickets, passport stamps, letters, e-mails, cards, train tickets, movie tickets, you name it..... well anyway among all these things I have saved, I wanted to ask you about our chat logs. See, we don't really chat on-line as we use voice/video chat all the time. I went ahead & took screen shots of our call logs on Skype. It shows the dates, times, and duration of all the calls we have ever made on there. I went ahead and took multiple screen shots of the call history log. Is this enough, or do they only accept chat logs where they can see actual words that we were typing? I think this should be just fine, but I just want to make sure so we can be on the safe side. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks! God bless!

If you are filing the petition then you need to send proof of having met in the past 2 years so the itenaries, tickets and photos are alright. Proof of ongoing relationship will be required at the interview stage.

That is correct. Save most if not all for later at the interview but the only way to use MSN or Yahoo logs as evidence is to print screen and paste into Word etc. This preserves the formating. Copy and pasting text cannot be distiguished from simply typing up fake logs.

It's up tp the officer, really. Many times they see a stack and don't look but other times if they ask questions and the applicant doesn't know then the paper becomes important.

I don't have many chat or email logs, either. I can only bring what I can and if it's not enough then I go K3 and start over. I think if you've got multiple visits, etc then that in itself is enough but that's just me. I have passport stamps of us both going to Cambodia. I think that's a lot because no one can dispute it then I went back in 6 months to propose. One guy got a denial because they met, got engaged and applied in one shot.

It should be enough; what else can we do, really?

I will make sure she knows what I do for work, my parents names and of course she already knows my kids names...state where I live, etc. That should be enough if you go over interview questions of other applicants and go over denials. Do a keyword search here and you'll get more information than I know. The only way I know is looking at what others have done and it's all right here.

I'd love to get my NOA2 though...frustrating as hell from a developed country to be so piss poor at this

Remember that the CO's look at these things every day and SHOULD have a sense of what chat logs look like with and without voice and camera. So don't overly stress about it. These logs are only part of the evidence that you will be submitting. Looking at everything in total does it seem to be enough?

Chat logs, etc, aren't primary evidence, but they can be a difference maker depending on the specifics of your situation. My thoughts are/were to give them all that I could to evaluate rather than submit a smattering.

Best of luck. It looks like you have assembled a good amount of info so far.
