Email and chat log

[hoanguyen8x 0]

I am getting ready to submit my packet in to USCIS but there is one more thing I need clarification on regarding email and chat records. I have well over 1 year worth of email and chat record. Do I print all of those out?

If I were to print all of them out it would be well over 1000 pages. What should I do? I have telephone records to satisfy that I talk to my fiance on a daily basis. Good thing about that is its only a few pages. I just dont see them accepting a 1000 page binder. Please help.

Make your petition easy to approve. NO ONE is going to read 1000 pages. Take a sampling from over the past year and send those in.

Good luck

hi! you don't need to print all those chat n email records....just those messages that you were talking about your present and future plans ...showing that you have really a bona fide realtionship .

The above posts are exactly what we did... We printed out about 20 pages of the most convincing pages, and higlighted the most important parts.

Remember however, even though lots of people include it in their K-1 package (including us), that proof of relationship isn't required until your interview at the consulate. For the package you send to USCIS, the proof you need to supply for a k-1 is "proof of having met in the last two years". For this, we provided copies of my boarding passes and passport, 6 photos showing us together with the dates and locations written on the back, copies of credit card bills showing hotel accomodation & dinner/date purchases and some other stuff too but I can't recall.

I am sure frontloading helps with a speedy approval (ours was 35 days) but if you don't supply proof of having met, they will send it back to you with a big fat RFE. After you got that proof, knock yourself out with proof of relationship, I think it helped our petition, but as canadian_wife said, make your file *EASY* to approve. The adjudicators wont want to read 1000+ pages.

I agree. The USCIS is mainly wanting proof that you have met over the last two years, which is the information like Passport Stamps and Photos. The proof of ongoing relationship information is really needed for the embassy interview.
