I have compiled most of my paperwork. I think I have about 200-250 pages of information and here is how it is organized and broken down:

1) Affidavits testifying that we have established a bonafide relationship (5-7 people will issue us these affidavits)

2) Evidence of our visits (boarding pass, tickets, itinerary, passport stamps). We have photos but we sent those in when we sent in the application as well as during the interview, I can also submit those again.

3) Emails regarding our wedding preparations (this includes announcing our engagement, contacting banquet halls and photographers (with their responses), and emails about my bridal shower that my friends and family are planning for me (I highlighted dates and important information in the emails).

4) Emails of our personal exchanges. (highlighted dates and some content for them to read easier).

5) Photos we have taken over the last 2 years through Skype and other messenger services.

6) Facebook exchanges we have had (a few pages providing evidence of our love and intent to get married,also highlighted dates and important content)

7) Skype exchanges that provide evidence of our relationship (I chose a few pages of text where we talk about our relationship and getting married and planning out our future. These were highlighted as well, just like the others I mentioned)

8) Yahoo messenger messages (just like skype, I chose a few chats where we talk about our love and wanting to get married and settling down and highlighted the dates and content).

9) Phone logs from the last 12 months.

10) Text message logs from the last 12 months.

11) List of people who are aware and have been aware of our relationship and our engagement. (I have not gathered this list yet but I can come up with at least 50 people who can provide their contact information).

What do you all think? Any thoughts?

Thanks for the post. My fiance and I do have pretty personal emails and posts from our messengers and Skype that I can pick and highlight and submit. In addition, I plan on organizing all the information (like I have done before when I submitted the original fiance visa application) chronologically and dividing the paperwork based on category (photos, personal emails, affidavits, etc.). As far as I am concerned, this SHOULD be enough, but as many of you have pointed out to me earlier, the U.S. embassy in Islamabad make it nearly impossible to approve Pakistani men for visas during the interview process (usually they require more evidence).

Very true. Like Pushbrk said before time together is your best evidence you can do. Accounts, life insurance all that is nothing compared to a few weeks together and the great photo op.

Like many have mentioned something they just wasn't seeing in all those emails and such. I know its hard to show all our personal business but the means justify the ends. You have to show a real personal relationship. Did they name specifics in letter more pics, letters, something? If not get a visit in ASAP. And start building your case from this point onward.

Thanks for your post. We do not have a joint financial account since we're not married yet. We basically sent everything else (etickets, passport stamps, receipts, photos, logs of phone and chat from various messengers, etc.)

Did you send any of this info as I posted earlier? Aside from the trips/boarding passes passport stamps eticket etc...??

I have my husband as POD on EVERYTHING that is related to insurance/stocks/checking/savings accounts and in my will... also he is on some of my utility bills

Aside from you, no one here is getting hostile. As you have quoted (and yet again misread) we did not JUST send chat logs. We send a plethora of proof (pictures, phone logs, etc.). What my fiance was ASKING was whether video can be sent to the embassy as further proof of our encounter. Instead of continuing to suggest things we have already done, perhaps you can be more productive by answering his original question. Or rather, don't if you can't answer the question adequately.

We can only respond to his post by reading what he says. He stated that he submitted a phone book of volume of

Apparently, we are all too stupid to realize that what he had was not a successful example of proof. Instead of being hostile, consider gathering the other evidences and, as you see each other, continue gathering. I took a trip to see my fiance 4 months after submitting the original application and we certainly were making sure to save examples of evidence that time. It was tougher because we stayed and traveled with family and had no receipts for most things--but we did use the ATM and we did go to the doctor and I certainly did have my boarding passes.

If you are absolutely convinced that your evidence was good enough, consider the presentation. It should be as easy and clear as possible for the poor schmuck at the desk to deal with.

Because many people do successfully bring their fiance(e) here, then it certainly can be done. It might be a good idea to copy them. But then again, if you don't want to bother getting suggestions from others who have had their interviews or gone through the process, what is the point of being here?

I'm John's fiance, and I have to tell you that you may not be getting the full picture here. He mentioned that we sent chat logs yes, but if you think that we are stupid enough to JUST send chat logs, then you're sadly mistaken.

We sent MANY of the following documents:

1) Chat logs

2) Skype logs

3) Pictures from our trips which not only included photos of us but of our families together

4) Text message and phone logs

5) Stubs and receipts from my trip to see him

In addition we have videos, receipts from our weddings plans, photos from our last trip (which we did not submit because that was recently AFTER filing for the fiance visa), more phone logs, text message logs, facebook messages, etc.

So when they asked for further evidence, I just assumed that they want to know how we've been in contact in the last 6 months since we've filed for our fiance visa. In his country they do give the men harder time at the interview process compared to the women there.

1000 pages of chat logs? You have got to be kidding.

When there is only one kind of "proof", that alone is enough to be suspicious.

We had:

• photos of us with other people in a variety of places
  
• tickets to different places in different cities indicating travel
  
• tickets with photos of us in those places together on a single page (plastic pockets) (Example-ticket to a museum with pic of us together outside, in front of that museum that would be clear to anyone that lived in that city where the embassy is located)
  
• letters (with envelopes)
  
• cards (with envelopes)
  
• postcards
  
• Christmas/Mother's day/Father's day/ birthday cards that were sent to his parents (wtih envelopes)
  
• boarding passes for flights there/home
  
• itinerary of travel plans together
  
• bus tickets of travel together
  
• medical receipts from seeing a doctor/dentist in his city
  
• NO chatlogs
  
• NO evidence of a single phone call
  

Seriously, there are several months of wait time between filing and the interview, you couldn't write a single letter or send a romantic/birthday/holiday card in all the time? Your beloved wasn't worth even a 98 cent stamp?

You actually met, right? But you didn't bother spending a dime to go to the movies/out to eat/a museum/any place where you pay and have a ticket or receipt?

Huge volumes pages of anything is an insult to the person you are handing them to. If you expect me to look over your file, you need to make it clear what is important and not waste my time. I am absolutely sure you didn't win any points with the whole "let me overwhelm them: attitude. Anyone who gives me hours and hours and hours of ####### to deal with will automatically have a major strike against him/her and I will be suspicious that it is all fake.

My guy took many things but each type of thing was easily accessible and ready to offer in a second. There was no digging, there was no wasting time, and most of it was not requested.
