How important are phone records?

[Rainschild 0]

Me and my fiance don't talk so much on the phone. We just chat all day, we have more than 1 conversation daily, plus emails in between, so the need for talking on the phone is not really there. And plus, I don't see why we have to spend lots of money on phone calls when this works great for us as method of keeping in touch.

Also, we have been together for 4 years, seen eachother 12 times (lived together in different periods of 1, 4 and 6 months at a time + several vacations of 1-3 weeks + a few weekends when he was stationed in Germany) all of these documented with boarding passes & passport stamps.

I also have compiled an album containing 80+ pictures, I have my engagement ring + written letters sent by snail mail.

Do you think I'll have a problem at the interview because of lack of phone records?

i dont think why this should be a problem as long as you have other proof of an ongoing reationship like the ones you mentioned!

We were the same way used Chat programs to communicate, I printed out the logs from the chat programs.

Never made a phone call, just used Skype, I did print out screen shots of Skype's logs, showing makeing Skype to Skype, and Skype to her cell number a few times.

They look at the entire scope of communications evidence.

This is what I did too for my proof of on-going relationship. Pictures of you together, letters, Skype Screen shot and chat logs.

Just finished our interview today. We were the same way, barely talked on the phone, it was always on yahoo messenger. We never printed out a single log, they never asked for it. No phone bills, no chat logs.

every case is different but my fiancee took our emails and phone records along for her interview and they never asked her for it. they are more interested in pictures. you should be fine.

Consulates indeed differ. Any couple interviewing in Ecuador should bring every scrap of evidence to the interview. Even then, it may not be accepted, especially if the USC is not there at that FIRST interview.
