I read that you are now submitting your chat records. I'm doing the same thing for my K1. I read here to review & edit everything you submit. Sometimes the CO will pick an item from the chats and ask you about it & you should familiarize yourself with what possible redflags to look for in chats (ex. Joking around calling each husband & wife). If you have 1000's of chats you might want to get some help with reading all those IM's. And obviously there is no way to memorize the contents of 1000's of chats but after reviewing them all for red flags, you will have a general idea of what's in them.

Who would go through all this if they weren't in love? These CO's sometimes have me questioning there conscience. I'm hoping we are giving you the necessary help to get through these trying times. Keep your head up.

& please correct me anyone if I'm giving misguided advice because I'm a newbie just getting started with. Also thanks to T-bone for the advice. I have been following your posts prior & appreciate the help

Yes I agree, always know what you turn in. It is best to print chats once a week or so then you don't have to read and print

1000 + at one time.

I made the mistake to not do so while being in AP for 16 months and am now knee deep in many pounds of paper sorting, reading, printing

for the refile after the denial. Have to go through 4 years of relationship evidence. Talk about insanity !

Are you referring to facebook chats or text message chats from your cell phone. I am trying to figure out how to edit the Fb chats and also how to print out the text message chats.

Love is a gift and not to be earned, therefore one should never hold any regrets for giving love regardless of the outcome...

Both. All. Variety. Nice balance, don't overdo. Don't underdo. unsure.png

FB chats can be edited this way, not sure what you mean by editing unless you mean delete some.

In the inbox click on action. Then check delete messages ( not conversation as it will delete everything with that person).

Then click delete.

I personally will collect a few FB chats and Viber app messages/call logs. I take screen prints of some. My main ones will be yahoo, emails and skype, cell and land line. They prefer "real" phone activity over apps, some do not accept certain apps like Viber.

My fiance got a 2nd interview and we sent stacks of documents. I sent receipts from wedding planning, correspondence, reciepts where we exchange birthday gifts, Valentine's gift and Chritmas gift affidavits from my friends in Ghana, his mother. All the missed moments from slow immigration processing and they did NOT even look at it. They just asked the same stupid questions from the first interview. The case was denied and sent back to the US for review by the Dept of State. I do not know what is going on in the Ghana embassy. Some strange things. I guess if you have the money to bribe and pay the right people you get a visa. Who knows????

We don't write letters because it takes a month or more to get there and some got lost. By that time we have talked a gazillion times already and the content is old.

We have send a few just to say we did, it is archaic for the CO's to still expect that and I believe the observation that no one writes a letter anymore is pretty close to the fact of digital communication in this day and age. I bet the CO's don't write letters to their families at home either.

I bet they don't but then they might since it'll be delivered securely by US government.

its off topic from OP post, but simply put, your excuse for not writing letters doesn't hold water, for me it took about two weeks to arrive, and none got lost, i didnt say... o it may get lost so i wont send one, i wont say o this fresh flower wud die in a month so i wont buy it for my partner. there's always content, expressing love never gets old, else i'd say ...o i said "i love u" last week why do i have to say it this week, i already said it. when u have a true partner u never run out of things to talk about.

COs dont expect u to have sent letters, they merely ask for evidence, its up to u to present what u have. everyone knows its harder to write and send letters, so when ur partner receives it, she smells it and holds something u held, she knows u went the extra mile to put a smile on her face and appreciates it. and the CO knows it too.

digital communication ...yes.

soon on your birthday, anniversary, christmas etc. your partner may sent you e-cards with the click of a button not a physical card, a digital flower to your tablet instead of a fresh cut one, etc. then u might understand.

What country did you email to?
