    I used the chatlog when I did that part of the process about a year ago.

    Email the chatlog to yourself, it shows day, time, etc.

    I put it in word and had roughly a 600 page document LOL

    I printed every 10th page, and put a note on the front of the printout that this was every 10th page ( also showed page number on the bottom). They accepted it.

    There are some other ways to get that info our of your phone, but you have to root it if it's android and get into some technical stuff to pull the data out.

    So you didn’t screenshot a conversation. You printed out one whole page ?

    You are welcome. When you open it, it will show date, time and message on separate lines for each message sent. See below:

    8/11/14, 6:30:36 PM: A: Hola como estas
     
    8/12/14, 12:44:50 AM: Z: Bien y tu
     
    8/12/14, 7:44:53 AM: A: Cdo yo venga de la saona

    But do you just screenshot some conversations and insert in a a word doc ? Or do you print one whole page .

    They will not want hundreds of pages of texts to read through - besides text can be manipulated to say whatever you want. 

     

    What we did was took 1 screen shot a week of WhatsApp conversations then put 4 on a page so each page = 1 month. We tried to screenshot conversations about current events, families, future plans etc. 

     

    During my husband interview they actually pulled up these and asked him about a couple of conversations we had previously had. I dont think they would have done this with 100+ pages of text 

    What paper you use to add the 4 screenshots. Do you use the app screenshots of the text logs .

    If you rotate the images to be portrait instead of landscape when you're setting the pages up, no one will know the difference.  Rotate your text boxes, too.  I just put all of our photos in portrait mode (yes, it looked funny when I viewed on the computer) and printed.  

     

    Preference is portrait.  My husband found people on a different forum who got RFE's for landscape scans.  It's a real pain in the behind with certain documents. 

    But we mailing our petition so both should be ok

    Hi I can give you some guidelines how to make your cover letter:

    1. where did you met her?

    2. when the chat started?

    3. when the serious relationship started?

    4. what made this thing to you?did you have sleepless night?sounds corny but it will help.

    5. when did you plan for your trip, how was it?meeting the families, the place, the feeling while you're with her.

    6. mention the phone bill that you never had before.

    7. if you send money, why you did that?

    8. the feeling when you get back to US.

    9. the future plans if K1 visa granted.

    plus if there is engagement already, why you did that?

    having these in your letter make sure you have corresponding supporting documents like pictures, reciepts of money order, phobe bills, airline tickets, luggage stubs,hotel receipts,etc etc..and make sure your fiance can answer with confidence incase it will ask during the interview.. you will be approve 100%.

    goodluck..

    Can the cover sheet be more then one page

    Sorry for the confusing i

    was just wondering how to sort out the proof 

     

    I guess passport stamps and boarding passes and  Receipts can go together .

     

    then communicating go separate 

     

    like the pic above

     

    since I am mailing it what’s the correct way to protect the documents when sending it.

    I recommend simple binder clips, one-sided pages for each section/form, with a cover page/letter for each, and sticky notes or tabs at the bottom of key pages if you like.  Sending folders will just make it more difficult for the USCIS staff to disassemble everything and scan into their system.  Good luck! 

    So where would I put the pages when sending them .  Like I need to put the pages somewhere when sending them by mail ?

    Yes, since it says “sworn”, it means it should be notarized. I’m going to be honest and say that I don’t think they did anything to help our case. But like I said, it can’t hurt and the more you can add to your petition, the better. Just make sure you have really good pieces of evidence like the above listed, and not only rely on the affidavits 

    Did you had a cover sheet and said like attach are documents my husband/wife is added to 

     

    like how did you word it ?

    I haven't sent in my Cr-1 visa package yet, I'm still assembling and obtaining all the pieces but here's where I started:

     

    Step 1, obtain your marriage certificate and make two photocopies...1 photocopy for yourself, 1 photocopy for NSCIS, and keep the original. (you should honestly make more copies that 2 because you never know when you will need more copies but 2 is a minimum). If your marriage certificate is in another language, make sure you have it translated. I used RushTranslate and paid about $60, because I paid for the version where I have a hardcopy as well as the downloadable copy. To me, it's worth it for the convenience and the time in which they translated my document (less than 24 hours). However, anyone can translate your document as long as they know the language. All they have to do is translate every word of the document and then add this: https://www.uscis.gov/tools/glossary/certificate-translation

     

    Step 2, decide whether or not you want to go about filling your petition yourself, with an agency or with a lawyer. Filing with a lawyer is only necessary if you have any legal matter that might be an issue (for example: has your spouse ever obtained a visa for the USA before but overstayed their visa?) in this case, you would probably better off filling with a lawyer. If you don't need have any legal issues, you can file by yourself, using this wonderful forum, Visa Journey. You can find pretty much everything and any question you could possibly have about the filling for your Cr1 visa. However, if hunting through tons of information and researching every bit of the cr1 process overwhelms you, use a visa agency. I personally am using Rapid Visa to file for my cr1 visa with my husband. They take all the fear and stress out of worrying about whether or not you will make a mistake. Of course they are humans too and they can make mistakes but it is a lot less likely to make mistake on your petition if you file with a professional who deal with these things on a daily basis. They have experience, and they are their for you any time you need to call and ask a question about your petition. I'm still early in the process but I have found them very helpful thus far. 

     

    Step 3, answer all the questions on I-130 and I-130A form. If you use rapid visa, they have you fill out all this information online, which makes it easier in my opinion. However if you use VisaJourney to help you, just search through the forums, you will find anything you need to know about filling out your answers correctly on these forms. 

     

    **Step 4, one of the most important steps. Gather all your evidence of a bona fide relationship with your spouse. This is where it takes some time to gather all your evidence. Be patient and don't rush this step, because this step will prove that your relationship with your spouse is real and not just entered into for immigration reasons. This is a list of things I have/am in the processing of getting for my husband and I:

    • 2 sworn affidavits from family stating that our relationship is genuine and out of love (1 from my mom, 1 from my husband's brother). Some say these affidavits don't help, but they are on the list of recommended things to include in your bona fide evidence from NSCIS so just include them anyway if you don't have a lot of evidence. More will not hurt you.  
    • A letter from my work stating that my husband is listed as my beneficiary on my life insurance
    • The document proving my husband is my health care proxy. (I did mine on legal zoom for about $50)
    • A letter stating that my husband is an authorized user on my credit card
    • A photocopy of the forms stating that my husband is allowed to have access to my health information (HIPPA release form) and that my husband is my emergency contact at my doctor's office 
    • A letter stating why my husband and I can not have joint bank accounts at this time (my husband and I do not live together yet and we cannot open a joint bank account if he doesn't have a US social security number)
    • A copy of my bank summary showing that I nicknamed my account with my husband and my name together (This is secondary evidence but I explained in the letter above that since I was unable to open a joint bank account together, I nicknamed one of my savings accounts with my husband's and my name and I use this account to save money for the both of us when we live together)
    • Copies of Receipts from wedding rings/dresses
    • Copies of personal letters from me and my husband that we have sent to each other through out our relationship
    • Copies of my flight tickets to my husband
    • About 12 pictures of me and my husband together, some pictures of us with our families during our trips together

    That's all the evidence I can gather at this time. Other examples would be copies of both you and your spouses IDs showing that you live at the same address, copy of birth certificate of your child if have had a child together, bank statements with you and spouses name on it, bank joint accounts. Most of these things are difficult to have if you're not living together. Don't worry though, it's normal. Just assemble what you do have and NEVER try to make up any evidence just for the sake of the visa. 

     

    Step 5 Obtain all the other documents required to send along with your petition (passport sized pictures...2 of your spouse and 2 of you,  copy of your proof of US citizenship, your payment...either a check or money order, etc.) This complete list can be found on USCIS website or it can be found on this Visa Journey website as well. 

     

    Step 6 Assemble your petition. Make sure you have everything, check over all your answers on the forms to ensure they are correct. I will be assembling my package with a 3-tab pressboard fastener folder from Staples, a two whole puncher that I will be whole punching the tops of all my papers  as it suggests on the USCIS website (https://www.uscis.gov/forms-filing-tips), zip lock bags for our passport pictures, paper clips for some papers from our bona fide evidence that need to stay together, some sticky notes to explain some papers, binder clips to attach the ziplock bags with our passport pictures as well as the check to the actual stack of papers. 

     

    Good luck filling! This website is SO helpful and the community is wonderful. They are always here to help if you have questions. Just take your time and as much as we all want to, don't rush the process. Take all the time you need to ensure that you make no mistakes, this will save you time in the future, God willing!

    We sent a physical package, we did not file online.

    So the way we organized things was in order to let them know what they were receiving.

    On the cover letter we listed the items organized by category and mentioning the number of pages for each category.

    Then, on the actual documents, each single page had a title and pages number typed, not the kind automatically generated by word.

    How did you type the page number 

     

    like example if I go to the store to get scan copies of passport stamps. How do I type the page numbers what did you use .
