Ongoing Communication

[Travelpro 3]

Do people send in the actual emails and Skype chats (or similar) in with the I-129F?

Curious if just sending a screen shot of my email inbox/sent showing all the emails would be enough. Have to show content? If so, you send all or pick what you feel is important proof?

Thanks!

I sent screen shots of my email inbox because we had pages and pages of emails. With the screen shots I picked out a few emails in different months printed them and sent those with it.

I think the screenshot is a good idea, but you still need to pick up a few emails (don't print them all) and send them with the I-129F.

We sent some of our facebook messages as well (screen shot) and our skype history (I don't know if they care about that though)

I sent in four email threads, which each had about 4-5 emails, along with the I-129F. They are not necessary at this point, as you don't have to prove ongoing relationship, you only have to prove that you've met in the past 2 years. The good thing is that things that you send with the I-129F get sent along with everything else to the consulate which will be adjudicating the visa interview. It helps them see that you have a true relationship.

Thanks Inky & CaroSL. Good info. I will do just that.

I think emails or screen shots of your messages and conversation. In my opinion, they don't really need a whole lot enough just to prove that you two are still communications.

I sent screenshots and picked a couple email threads and printed them out. Good luck!

I did not and there is no need to. Evidence of relationship is not a requirement for the I-129f. No doubt some people send tons of unnecessary information but it makes no difference.

For the I-129f you need to prove

1. You are a US citizen

2. You are both able and willing to marry each other

3. You have met at least one time IN PERSON in the 2 years prior to filing the petition

Nothing in an email or skype can prove any of that.
