Just wondering who in each couple does all the evidence saving. Is it mainly the USC or the 'beneficiary'? Or is it broken down more by gender? Or do they work on it together?

(can you tell I'm procrastinating about something?)

For us, I'm the female, the USC, and I'm the one who generally saves everything.

Umit and I both save things.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

i saved everything and made multiple photocopies of everything because i don't play around.

i put the fear of Allah in my mister while he was still on the mother continent, thus encouraging him to save and make photocopies of everything, too.

We're a team! And he trusts and obeys (me) :whistle:

I am the beneficiary, I am the one saving the docs. He was throwing them away :crying:

I second this - if I don't specifically say to put it in the immigration folder it will be tossed out. At least he waits for me to come home from work and see the mail before he tosses it in the bin.

Surely most of the stuff people are submitting as evidence are financial in nature, with some extra stuff like travel itineraries and anniversary cards etc. Financial stuff like bank statements and tax returns should be kept anyway, why people throw this stuff out is beyond me.

Both of us saved everything...if one of us has the originals of something, the other one has the duplicate copies of that, and vice versa... every single document and scrap of paper. And we also saved certain documents electronically.

Visa Journey completed, but we are still here to provide support! :)
