My fiancé went to his interview on Feb. 24th and the woman at window 5 said that she wants to see our chat from 2011 and 2012 I didn't know that we were required to send them all of our chat from every year. Or I would have just printed everything. But my fiancé had hundreds of paperwork I printed out everything but that lol. Anyways so now I'm in the process of printing out the 2011 and 2012 paper work for the second interview on March 25 and I just wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else at the Ghana Embassy. And how much of the chat to print out. Also I didn't go to the first one but I'm making plans to also go to this second interview in marcv. Would that be better if I came. I'm thinking that if I came the paper work would be ignored and we can finally get our blue paper! Any help?

Just print the whole chat that they requested. I went through the same situation earlier in January after they requested our chat from 2011 to date so we provided it and then got approved afterwards. My fiancé now my wife didn't even have to show up. U can show up and still get denied if u don't have what they want so I would advice u just get ur chats together and u will be fine. Just make sure they are up to date, its important! Gud luck!

Aybee&Sylvia have said it all. Send all evidence u have no matter the quantity to your second interview. It doesnt hurt to do so. Your accompanying her to the second interview is an individual choice. GOOD LUCK!

Don't worry we met on a dating website and my fiancé told the embassy that and we both canceled our profiles. So I don't have chat from when we first started talking as friends wither it is lost. I don't see how that can be a requirement I don't think it is maybe our person was just having a bad day and just wanted to delay us on purpose. Don't u worry just bring everything you have. Cause every case is different. I really thought the first time I had too much paper work so I was really shocked for her to say bring more. I wish I had a pic to show u guys how much it was it's crazy cause I'm the type of person that over due things.but best wishes and don't worry.

I believe you, because my stack is large and getting larger, I'm nervous about this no matter, it's hard depending on someone else's view on what's a bonified relationship!!! I hope my 4 trips last year and one last month will make up for lack of chat logs!

I'LL KEEP POSITIVE! , GOD is on our side

Good luck to you!

I think it depends on the interviewer (CO). I My interview was less than 5 minutes and he never asked for any chat record at all. Make sure to print whatever they want and bring them with you to the interview. If they need 2011-2012 chat record, give them all of it.

I concur, now you know exactly what he or she wants, I wonder do you see the same CO? Can you imagine another CO looking at piles of evidence already submitted and asking you why are You having another interview??

Insane!! Problem we don't know the mood these people will be in, unfortunately

Don't worry you will be fine. All my documents fit into a single file yet I was approved just make sure you take chats from the beginning, middle and recent time. Your pics and all. You will be fine.

I think you should just add the chats from 2011 and 2012 and about that dating site I dunno if they atually send u some sort of notification in your actual email that you signed on or have received a mail from somebody. If they do, I suggest you search through your mail and print that out and put a cover letter on it that you have cancelled your profiles but the notifications from your email are the only thing you could find. I hope that will help.

Candy and I have been chatting for 1 1/2 years now. I downloaded the logs just from when I came back from Philippines last July, and that was 1800 pages. Now I can't imagine any consular officer wanting to read 1800 pages, nor can I see Candy carrying 1800 pages to the USEM. Hell, even the Obamacare law was not that long.

So I printed up every 50th page for a total of 36 pages and put a note on the front explaining that that is what i did.

WIll it fly? We will let you know on May 20th.

i agree, get what was requested, its very likely u will get the same CO, so he/she will check what was requested. its more important than u going in person.
