Why?  

[Commish10 427]

I'm bring in the regular stuff + Chats from 10/2017, 4/2018, 10/2018, and Feb 2018 (when ready)- Each month is about 250 pages.

 

I don't want to take any chances as this is my 3rd K1 and marriage.

I suggest a small selection of chats.  If you need a rolling case, which won't be allowed, no one will look at your information.

I promise, if you cut that chunk from 250 pgs down to 45 and have just a couple pages just to show correspondence was made; I bet that would be enough for sure. @payxibka, Hank, and Greenbaum are pretty smart fellas. Definitely heed their advice

You misread that the OP did not say 250pages total but 250 pages for every month. 

 

Do away with the chat pages because they will not be looked at at all with even 45 pages. Pictures, receipts and maybe 5-10 pages of chats if you really want to bring them.

[Commish10 427]

If I printed all, it would be about 20K pages 😖

In 2017 there was a June K-1 filer who sent 1300 pages of chats with the petition!!!  LOL  

 

We didn't have any chats with us at the interview.

There was someone in a fb group I'm in that sent 9lb of paperwork with their petition or RFE, can't remember which.

Our K-1 was between 15 and 20 pages total!  

[Commish10 427]

Our K1 was light. Fit in a standard Priority Mail envelope

I asked them if they really thought an officer would go through every single page in a file the same weight as a newborn baby, but it was too late as they had already sent it and were wondering why it was taking "so long" to hear back. My husband didn't even send any extra paperwork! So many people in that group I'm in, encourage sending hundreds of chat pages per month. I try to advise against sending that much but.. Oh well.
