No, If a few were in engish you may include them, you can even white out anything that is personal.

What I did was pick 4 or 5 emails, and included a log showing a list of the more than 300 emails we exchanged, nothing more, they just want to see that you have been exchanging mail not the content of the mail.

Also I included a log of chats using Yahoo and Skype.

yuanddan,

Thanks for the quick reply!

Unfortunately we don't have any english emails so we will just show them a couple print outs and the logs as you have mentioned.

Thanks for your help!

The folks at the embassy or consulate know both languages.

anyone knows how to print ou the log for voice to voice communication in skype? we do that a lot. I can see i can print for txt msging within skype but not for the aforementioned way of communication. In other words how do I print out the history for my records? thx.

You would think so right? But I didn't want to take any chances!

We didn't translate our emails because we wanted the COnsulate to see that we both speak French and that is how we communicate. I think as long as they see both of your email addresses plus the dates you sent them it should be fine. I highlighted those things on the emails I printed out.

kzsupra,

Some (many?) consulates will accept documents in the native language. Check with the consular section in Tokyo to find out what their policy is.

Also keep in mind that what you need to show about the relationship is that it is not intended to circumvent US immigration law as a means getting the alien into the USA. If the documents that you plan to present do not suit that purpose, there's no reason to submit them.
