Hello VJers, how do you folks feel about a letter giving a synopsis of how my wife and my relationship began and how we got to where we are now?

In it I tell short quick story about how many times I have been to visit how long I stayed etc...

Any thoughts is it a good idea bad not needed??

Thanks

Its a relationship timeline many use it. Good idea. Just a short and sweet sentence to all the milestones.

I don't know which stage of Visa Journey you are ( USCIS or NVC stage). If you are on the stage of filing I-30, then this might be very helpful, I have read few members sending their story along with the form I-130. I did not do it.

If yo are already in NVC stage, I dont think it will add much value because your spouse will be interviewed about these stuffs during visa interview at embassy.

Good luck on your visa journey.

Thanks I will be filing next week. I 130

Hey!

We sent our package from abroad 2 weeks ago, and we just recieved our NOA1 hardcopy in the mail yesterday (in France). I included a two page letter/timeline, discussing the big milestones like; when we first got in contact, met for the first time, visited eachother, proposal, and our current living situation. I am USC living abroad with my wife and I was paranoid and really wanted to make sure they knew clearly exactly what was going on so I do think the letter helped them understand...

Hope it goes well for you guys
