Sending the 1-129F this week (Finalizing)

[neodragon0l 6]

I have to say that this application was kinda to put together, because I did not know we had so much memories, including our first Starbucks together. Anyway, We have been together for almost four years since June 2008. I am planning to mail the application by Thursday. My fiancee is from the Philippines which is a high fraud country. My main question is front-loading and the amount of evidence required. Within the past two years, I visited her twice (11/2010 and 4/2012). I had a lot of receipts and boarding pass during the 11/2010 trip. We were basically traveling together. However, I have scarce evidence during my latest trip since my parents paid for most if not all of our travels. So far, my application is 81 pages and approximately 60 pictures (both trips). I also have pictures from the first time I met her in 2009, but the pictures are outdated and exceeded the two year limit. Should I include them? For now, I did not include them. Also, the application did not say anything about proof of ongoing relationship yet. Someone said in the forum, that's for the interview. I have thousands of pages of chat logs, and phone calls, etc. Should I front load those information in the initial application? I am thinking that's an overkill. I guess that I am just nervous because this is for our relationship and the next chapter of my fiancee and I's lives. I am sure you guys know how I feel. thank you for any input.

Follow the guides and you can't go wrong. I followed them after trying to go it alone the first time I mailed the 129 and got an RFE. Don't make my mistakes!!! Read these guides carefully!!!

60 pictures is overkill, I only sent in 6 pictures of us. But had about 90 pages worth of documents, for me I picked 4 months out of the year that from the time we first communicated. I printed 1 email per month, 1 page of chat log per week. But printed out all pages of my text log and call logs, which made up the bulk of the 90 pages..

Just follow the guides here and pay attention to the information on the I-129F, I got an RFE caused I missed one question but no biggie it only added about 2 weeks into the process. What took us long to go for interview was the wait for her police report from Japan we waited 7 weeks.

Thank you for the input. Did you include the emails, chat log, text log, and clogs on your initial I-129F? The guide says not to include it because it will for my fiancee to bring at her interview. I will limit the print outs to what the guide said. Your range is reasonable. I will follow that and prepare the logs and emails.
