I'm soooo getting worried, as i look everyday on the board and i see that people send soooo many proofs to the USCIS for the petition... We only sent 2 pictures that we printed from the computer, one itinary printed from my emails of one of my trips to Dallas (round-trip), and a photocopy of our receipts when we bougt sunglasses together (2 receipts, using our own credit card, so it's showing both names, from the same store at the same time). And, when we sent our package, we didn't know about VisaJourney forum, so our question 18b is not on a seperate page, it's in the little box they gave us to write the answer in on the form.

Are we most likely to get an RFE or a denial???

And, we forgot to make copies of the package, do i need copies of it for the interview or something?

OMG everyday i'm getting even more worried...

(I'm writing it here because i'm a november filer that follows this thread everyday)

The USCIS is not that concerned about your proof of ongoing relationship. However, the embassy is concerned...they are the last line of defense for visa fraud. Make sure you take as much evidence to the interview as possible. Your package will be sent to the embassy, so unless they lose it then you shouldn't need a copy. This link will answer most of your questions: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=220499

Good luck!
