Video chats & Text messages

[Alex&Jen 20]

Hello, I am in the final processing of getting all the documents needed to send in the petition for my husband. I just remembered that I have lost the video chat and text message history through whatsapp due to my phone breaking and needing to by a new phone. The history of Whatsapp did not carry over to my new phone. Will this create a problem when they look for evidence of our relationship and our marriage. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get history through whatsapp? 

 

Thank  you!

No, I don't think it will be an issue, I lost most our my texts because the same happened to me and I only provided what I had, I lost the first few months of our chats. What I did was that I wrote this on the How We Met letter and provided the recent chats that I did have , missing the first months worth of chats and I just recently got my NOA2. If you explain this to them, it will be fine. Good luck.

Thank you! I will send in what I have and explain it all in the letter of our relationship. Also, I am in the final process of putting the documents together to mail out tomorrow. I have a couple of questions. 

1) Can the boxes that do not pertain to me or my husband on the petitions be left blank? I have read that no boxes can be left blank. Or do I need to put "Not Applicable" in all the blank boxes. 

2) I found an error in the marriage date and had accidentally typed his birth year, not our marriage year. I crossed it out with black ink and wrote the correct year. Will they deny the petition if I did that? 

3) I originally had my husband fill out the I-130a form out while I was with him in Honduras, so he was able to sign it. However, his handwriting is not the best and he wrote the dates in as dd/mm/year, not mm/dd/year. So I retyped all his information and printed the form out. Does he have to sign the petition for the I-130a? 

 

Thank you! I am anxious and want to have everything in perfect standing so they don't sent a RFE or deny the petition. What is the NOA2?

Put N/A , don't leave anything blank.

 

 

 

Questions 2 and 3 I am not sure about, maybe another member can help with that.

 

The chats were not an issue for me, a good friend of mine who sent it along with me added none at all and hers was approved, so long as you add what you have and explain the situation as I did, you will be fine.

 

My NOA2 was 01/04/19, I sent mine on July 31st.

 

Good luck.

@Greenbaum I volunteered you 😂, hope you don't mind, she asked me these two questions and I am not sure on the answer, maybe you can help.

Not Applicable is clear if not applicable, if they ask about children it's common sense that the answer would be none.

We did not include a single chat log in our petitions (K-1 and CR-1) and both were approved.  Chat logs are not good evidence of anything but that you talked.
