Can you ever have to much evidence?

[paws057 9]

I'm starting to put together the files I'll take to Moscow for her interview and OMG! If I take all of this stuff they will never let me in the Embassy. I'm trying to 'trim' it down a little to take to the interview but I will still take all of it with me to Moscow just in case. Has anyone heard of taking to much? I know they won't even read 99% of it but I do want it there just in case they want to look at it. Just wanted some opinions. Thanks!

The cases are decided based on the documents required. if those are submitted correctly there is no reason to take a mountain of paper because they wont read it. If there was something they wanted it could be sent to them by fax ect. If there was something missing prior to the interview they would request that info be submitted.

You can take what you want but it will probably end up in the trash. The interview should go fine for her.

Yes, there can be too much. In fact, too much evidence is on the list for signs of fraud.

You obviously have meet the requirement of have met within the last two years. You have proved to them that you are a USC and free to marry and that she is free to marry. At the Embassy interview they will want to see if she is a criminal--the police report--and is healthy--the medical. Then there is the proof of on-going relationship. Are you thinking of bringing in a 1000 pages of Skype or e-mails? I would only bring in enough to span your relationship--try to keep it under 20 pages. If you are going to the interview with her, that speaks more than all the e-mails or Skype printouts. I saw a woman at my wife's AOS with three--yes, I said three--boxes full of paper. She was carting them around on a moving dolly. I thought I sent in a lot of papers, but that was insane. I sent all of my evidence in with the petition so it was included in the file and they could read it if they wanted. All e-mails over a three year period came to about 50 pages which I thought was excessive, but did it anyway.

I would hit all the items that you must prove as listed in the instructions and keep it as short as you can and use high quality evidence if you can. If you were at a very high fraud country that would be one thing, but I would not consider Russia high fraud.

Good luck,

Dave

Really? I just heard that yesterday and thought that can't be true, guess I was wrong. We've been tpgether for a year and a half and that's a lot of stuff let me tell you. Guess I'll just take a maybe a few emails from each month, scans of my plane tickets and visa's, a few Skype scans,photos of us together and that's it. That shouldn't be to much I wouldn't think?

Well the Skype I took about two pages per month and the letters I will do about the same. I do have two expanding files packed full of stuff though but do not plan on taking it to the interview that is why I asked. Phone records I will trim down a little more and I did trim the trip information so I should be good I would think. Yes I am going to the interview and it's why I'm not sending any of the files to her. I will meet her in Moscow for her medical and then the interview. This is what we've waited for, so I don't want to miss it!

Hey that's true I forgot about the evidence I sent in with her I-129F. That just made it much easier that's 9 months of letters I won't have to worry about.

Now you have the right idea. You have done well to collect the info you have but you shouldn't need it all. I would put the other info in a place that someone could access it just in case you needed something. Then if you do it could be scanned to you.

In one case I know of a guy tried to submit 6 kilos of phone records. It went into the trash. They just don't need it nor have time to deal with it.

You will be surprised at how easy the interview is I think. The work is in the required docs really.

Yes I have everything on a memory stick so I will bring that along as well. They have copy places all over so it shouldn't be hard to find one. Yes, all the reviews of the Embassy are good and most say it only takes about 5-10 minutes and your done. Of course you might wait for 3 hours to get that time to. Yes all the documents are good to go except for the police report and that s coming soon. Thanks!
