Thank you for your advice and it will leave me no choice but to redo or recreate the log of 7 years of contact. For example, I had looked at one year's worth of MSN online chat between my fiance and me and honestly, we would be online at least 1-3 times a week, sometimes our conversations would last anywhere from at least 2 hours to the whole day..( I also kept logs on Skype & yahoo...but some of my older chats were on my other computer which has not been working) I was able to retrieve some old conversations & save them to my new computer. 2 hours to the whole day of chatting and multiply that with 7 years will equal to many pages more. I have already submitted a log of weekly & lengthly conversations up until I mailed the log, I 134, and my tax info. to my fiance Nov. 2013 (initial interview but had to cancel and reschedule)I have read other posts in which one person stated that s/he had submitted at least 2 conversations for each week during the course of his/her contact with tne fiance...and did not submit everything and was approved...and I've read also many posts where the consulate officer did not evern bother looking at the log of conversations people had with them...if the consulate officer did, the most s/he would do is skim through the pages. It would be time consuming looking & matching the dates for every contact made..I don't know but I guess that our consulate officer is stringent to details. I still do question the I 134 and my tax information because if this was overlooked then maybe the CO might have overlooked the conversations...how? I really don't know but hoping to get clarification. Amother reason why I think that information may have been overlooked because my fiance was asked about a question of sponsorship
...specifically during the interview, if I had sponsorsored someone before...now, why would she ask this if she did not have the I 134? Is this a standard question for everyone and not case by case? or could it be she did research on the case prior to the interview? I just want to give her the benefit of the doubt and I understand where she is coming from as an interviewer. Anyhow, I will try my best...no push to do my best to get this done because we (my fiance and I ) have made it this far.

My fiance's interview was January 2. The consulate was Kelly Lang, who was very pleasant and attentive. At the end of the interview she gave him a 221(g) requesting more proof of contact between us, showing that we were in continual contact from the time we met until the time of the interview. Also she wanted a different sponsor who had a higher income and 2013 taxes and W2. We had to wait for my brother's W2, then he had his taxes done on the 28th. I sent the info and affidavit of support via email in PDF on the same date. Our case continued to be "Further Administrative Processing" until last night 12:30am (8:30am in Algeria) it changed to "Ready". Soon as I woke this morning, I checked it again and it had changed to "Issued". I'm so excited, I feel nauseous! My fiance' doesn't know yet because he's working away from his phone. I'm counting the minutes until I know he's off work! Pinch me, I think I must be dreaming.

It has been over an hour now since I received the approval notification...I just want to shout to the world how excited I am but can't since it is almost 1am...CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who recently got approved and to everyone who is still waiting...DO NOT GIVE UP! It is a long & frustrating process but KEEP CALM, BUSY, & PRAY!

I agree with some of the things being said here...it kind of feels like a slap in the face to those who have tried to come here to the United States legally. I was brought here to the US at a very young age as well but my mom, brother, & I had to wait for some time until we were reunited with our dad (who already immigrated her months before us). It was a difficult process then and still a difficult process now. I appreciate all the sacrifices hat my parents had to ensure that my brothers & I would live a decent life...It has been said that many came at a very young age and we can not really blame them for it but if anyone were to take responsiblity for being irresponsible, it would be the parents. Just curious if there was anything being done to the parents of these children....(if the parents are still around)...On same note, it is unfortunate that I am going to be waiting a few more months for a response on my case like many of you because of this Deferred Act.It is not right but what could be done other than writing to the people in Congress?
