E-mail Records

[Aman 0]

I just started taking the print out of the E-mails that we have shared in last 9 months....I just wanted to check how many are enough 100 mails...200...or do I need to take all of them..I was thinking to pick a couple from every month....

Also DO i need a variety....Happy mails, sad mails...angry...fights....( I have almost every variety)....I even have some " Go to hell mails"

Same with the Chat records..............

Any suggestions............

You really don't need all that many emails or chats.To be honest, a couple from the beginning of the relationship, a couple from the middle, and a couple recent ones should be sufficient. What I did is that I sectioned them up into before wedding and immediately after wedding and then recently...then took 3 emails each from those times....each email being either beginning of that part, middle of that part or towards the end of that. This got me a good 20-30 emails and chats all together. And try sending in happy normal ones, sending in go to hells might be like looking for an rfe....not definitely, but who wants to take that chance right. Anything where you are showing genuine care or love towards eachother, like asking how the other is, or asking about family or even cheeky stuff like "hey sexy" could work. Anything to prove it's a genuine relationship. Fighting is normal......but that doesn't mean the people at the USCIS are going to think the same.....they aren't asking you to send an autobiography you know, if so , then you could incl. all the good and the bad. But they ARE asking you to send evidence of the bonafides of your marriage.....meaning simply you must prove to them you are in a healthy married relationship...and you must do it within a small number of select emails, chat logs, call logs and the likes. So in this case....sticking to more along the lines of happy happy, or happy norm would be a good bet rather than fighting or "go to hell emails" (we all send/receive em...wouldn't be a healthy relationship if we didn't ).

Try not to send too many cause you really don't want to make the packet too heavy....remember everything you send now, and during nvc and embassy....you're spouse will have to bring that along with them....every bit of it to interview and when they come to the states! Not saying to keep it purely simple or basic.....just keep it simple on the simple high side. .

Good luck.

4) Emails

5) Chats

6) Newspaper in which the My hubby placed the Matrimonal Ad

Seems like you've got everything down. Though, you might consider papers or documents showing co-mingling of finances....like joint back accounts or joint leases....just incase. Also.....I'm not so sure about the matrimonial ad really....cause that would depend on the interviewer you know, I'm sure if the interviewer were Indian they might understand, but if the interviewer is an American then you may have a bit of explaining to do about a ad in a newspaper being the reason you got married. This is very normal in Pakistani and Indian culture, but it is regarded as highly strange, and in some cases illegal in American culture.....so maybe you should ask around VJ about taking the ad, but that's only my opinion really.

Good luck!!!

take as many pictures as you can from wedding and from different occasions generally family gathering. some legal evidence. if you read from people's review they say that generally they look at pictures. So use their maximum time by showing them pictures
