Hi all!

You want to hear something very strange? My hubby sent this email to the embassy in Helsinki:

"Good Afternoon, me and my wife currently have our CR-1 being reviewed at the NVC. Wanting to be get ahead start in preparing for the interview with the embassy. My question is how could we provide proof of our communication between each other? We generally use the following tools to communicate: Skype (peer to peer), email, and phone. I am able to provide the history/log of our emails and phone calls. However, what it is an acceptable way to present this data to the interviewer? Because, email along we have 2000+ messages and to print them out I don't think its feasible. Could I put them in an excel sheet and have her store the messages on a USB stick, so if we could have a back up in case the interviewer would like to see the messages"

Embassy sent their reply in few mins and basically just said that there is no need to provide extra proof of our marriage, relationship etc. I mean, what the hell?????? Can this really be true?

it differs greatly from consulate to consulate... why would you not believe the decision maker? any one here can say differently but it simply does not matter because no one here will make this decision....

Or can it vary if it's K3 or CR-1 interview? Because this question was mainly for CR-1. Anyways, I think we are going to provide extra proof for them just in case

not likely as much difference from K-3 & CR1 as it would be from a spousal to a fiance(e) visa.....

always better to be over prepared

Sure, just use some common sense an print logs of the calls and maybe a few example pages of chats or emails to demonstrate that you DO communicate regularly. The way you present them is to hand them the papers if asked for them and do nothing if not asked.

I'm so jealous of you... how it's all actually moving along... and that nicely. I guess you're a fellow Finlander and... well, much luckier than I am. I'm constantly having to prove our relationship to someone and our case still hasn't moved one inch... And it's been 1,5 years since we got married. I just want to see my husband.

Good luck to you and congratulations.
