Hi,

With my I-129F packet for a K1 visa i am including only about 16 pages of Viber conversations (text messages). We text mostly and have thousands of pages but only sending couple or so pages per month since we seen each other the last time.

Most of the conversation is in Ukrainian but some is in English too because she is learning.

Do i have to translate our conversation?

Did anyone have this same situation? Sending the packet with non English text message conversation.

Thank you!
