Proof of fiance relationship - emails, etc.

I made copies of e-mails and letters and I blacked out certain information in them. Had no problems about doing this.

Did they actually ask to read them? (I just re-read your topic about the interview and couldn't find the information there). If not, there's no way we can really tell it'd be a problem. I too - despite my advice telling otherwise - have blacked out some excerpts. But then again, the consular officer only asked to see pictures.

Charles' Angel,

I would not submit evidence that I felt the need to hide information on. What an invitation to questions! If you've got 4,000 pages surely you can find a few that you feel comfortable submitting without alteration?

Does anyone know for sure whether or not we can "black out" personal information in the emails, chat logs, etc. we provide for proof of fiance relationship? I have heard both yes and no. I am just printing out all of our emails, chat logs, etc. and I have over 4000 sheets of paper here to sift through! Does anyone know if it is overkill to print out every single piece of communication? I don't want to have my fiance submit like 10 notebooks of proof if we really don't need to. I also would hate to black stuff out and then get "in trouble" for doing so. If anyone has any experience or information regarding the above I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. I mean it has almost been a year and we communicate every single day so that is a lot of proof. We also are trying to send letters to each other but because of the mail system in his country we rarely get each others mail - will that hurt us or do you think they will take the mail system into consideration? I can't wait for all of this to be over and have my man home with me.

That is why I asked and I am so grateful for the responses from everyone. Like I said, I really don't want other people reading our more intimate mails to each other but believe me I have a vast amount of emails to sift through that will be perfectly appropriate for providing proof. I just wish the proces would be faster. I always laugh at people when they ask us when are we getting married because my response is always - well I will have the date once we are approved! I already set a date once and that has come and gone - LOL!
