How to choose

[jessdizzle2009 0]

So I'm putting my K-1 packet together, and am sorting through all our emails and skype conversations...let's just say, there's hundreds of pages. They couldn't possibly want all of those pages! So how do I choose what I conversations/emails I send? Or how many? What has everyone else done? Also, when my fiance goes for the interview, he should take all the originals correct? Thanks!

Don't send too many pages of conversations, because it will make your application bulky and just make them frown. Also the Consulate in England is considered low-fraud so you don't really need to send them a lot of relationship proof up-front. Proof of relationship is actually not needed on the USCIS stage, they only care if you are free to marry and seen each other in the last two years. But in my opinion it's good to front load your petition but reasonably, so they have an idea of what your relationships is like.

So my advice is, just include a couple of pages for each month let's say, basically just cover a good range of time without putting too much they won't even look at.

Good luck!

Don't send any. I sent no skype conversations and no emails no texts no love letters and I was approved. You'll read lots of posts knocking around about 'front loading' your petition (by including evidence of emails, letters etc) when the beneficiary is from certain countries. The UK is not one of the countries it is necessary to front load for. All you need to do is establish that you have met in person with in the last 2 years for this photos of the two of you together, along with boarding passes, immigration stamps, hotel receipts and the like provide great evidence of establish that you have met.

Pop over to the UK subforum and read through the posts there and ask questions for more specific UK advice.

As said by the previous poster, your in a low fraud area so no need for bulk.

What I did was to show a representative sample across the entire relationship. I printed out all phone bills, skype, etc and placed each in a seperate pile in chronological order. Then pick one page of each type for every month. Depending on the length of your relationship this may still be bulky, so try trimming down to every other month if its still >30 pages or so. Keep all the other pages for the interview, and then just send this 'sampling'. I even noted on the front page of the evidence that this was a sampling and all pages would be available on request (and at the interview).

There are basic requirements to have a petition approved

• one of you is a US citizen (ex, US birth certificate)
  
• you are both free to marry (divorce decrees if any)
  
• you both intend to marry within 90 days of entry to the US(letters of intent)
  
• you have met in person in the last 2 years (ex, boarding passes, passsport stamps, credit card charges in the other's town, photos)
  

You don't really have to share your love letters, phone logs, chats, engagement ring or facebook updates.

And when your file gets to London, they don't want anything about your relationship or trips or photos at the interview. They don't want a copy of your I-129F petition or the US citizen's birth certificate because that's already in your file. They do not want a copy of your NOA2. It is needed for Adjustment of Status, so don't send it off to the UK where it could get lost in the move. And yes it's okay for him to visit while the petition is in process.
