Hey, glad to see everyone's progress here! I am leaving for Palestine on Wednesday, and I am bringing some evidence with me to give to my wife for her interview. I would like to list it here, and if there is something else someone could think of, let me know.

-Skype Call Records (over 250 pages on legal paper, and Skype would only let me go back 6 months)

-T-Mobile call records directly to my wife's mobile number

-Notarized/Sworn affidavits from my parents expressing their knowledge and support for our marriage

-Notarized/Sworn affidavits from her parents expressing their knowledge and support for our marriage]

-Notarized/Sworn affidavits from 2 friends of mine and 2 friends of hers expressing their knowledge and support for our marriage

-Copies of e-mails sent

-Pictures of our mobile phones displaying the text messages (as there are no phones allowed in the consulate)

-I will give her my wedding ring which bears the same engraving (our names & date of marriage contract) as her wedding and an earlier ring she gave me in 2008 that has her named engraved.

-100 informal pictures

-25 engagement party photos

-25 wedding party photos

-One engagement party invitation

-One marriage party invitation

-Copies of my passport that show entry into Jordan/Palestine

-Copies of her passport that show stamps with same date of leaving Palestine as I did (she basically traveled to Jordan with me to say farewell when I returned to the U.S.)

-Pictures of her gold that was given as the dowry

-My 3 year tax transcripts

-My co-sponsor 3 year tax transcripts

-Copy of my biographical page of my passport

-Copy of co-sponsor's biographical page of passport

-Transcripts from the university I attended to show the dates and hours I was enrolled in school and couldn't have possibly been working a full time job to meet the income requirements

-Letter from Human Resources of my university that stated the amount of hours I was allowed to work a week as a student assistant (18.5) and the wage I was making (7.50), (again to show why my tax return was so low)

-Copy of my university degree

-Notarized employment letter of my current job, giving rational to my degree/major, and showing my hourly/wage plus over time as well as my span of employment

-And my business card for good measure.

I will organize it all neatly and give it to her. I will also instruct her not to give them any evidence unless they ask for it.

What do you all think?

Hello, Asad

Have fun in palstine, and hopfully everything will go as you wish.

I have skype account where she call me from her computer to my phone in the us.

I can see history of phone calls, but how I can export it to legal doc paper?

Thanks Loto. Just to confirm, it is not necessary to give the evidences to the CO outright. You should wait until they ask for it, correct?

Yes asad, only if CO asks for it.

see Malvika's notes for copies of everything submitted to NVC as well.

Also, if you have 2010 W-2/1099, tax filing, paystubs of 2011, include them as well.

Hello, Asad

Have fun in palstine, and hopfully everything will go as you wish.

I have skype account where she call me from her computer to my phone in the us.

I can see history of phone calls, but how I can export it to legal doc paper?

Thanks

Yes, but it only goes 6 months back. So I would start doing it from now. But you go to skype.com, open your account. The tab "call phones" should already be selected and then click "view call history" and then at the bottom, it says "export call history file". Click on that and it will give you an excel spreadsheet of all your calls. Do that for each month you can.

Look at you Deshi bhai, had great weekend with family, salary raised, tax returned done, trip to BD in next and...Bhabi on the way to US..man i'm jelouse on you!!

Everything is good except I didn't get a raise. :( The boss says the raise raising is not until March. And he didn't confirm or deny if I will get one. I'm just going to be pessimistic and say I probably won't get one. Oh well. I AM happy about getting the Mrs. over here and generally being away for two weeks. If only my mother was completely better, I could let go completely. Now I can't really have a lot of fun without feeling guilty. But I'm happy with what I have. I have my family and soon my wife, my heart, my soul, and probably my everything. :P

I did buy some gift for the wife's family. I will probably take some candies for the sister-in-laws. I'm just glad they call be bhai instead of dula-bhai. I don't want to be a dula-bhai. That feels so sleezy and disgusting.

Guys. A girl just offered me to watch a movie with her at her house. Alone. Should I accept the challenge or not?

My heart says you should accept the offer. You know why? :star:

Most girls have so delicate mind. If you say no and this girl belongs to the above depicted category, it is really heart-breaking for them. I have read few girls with this mentality have even committed suicide when the man rejected their offer. Just think about your peace of mind if that happens to this girl as well.

You'll have the always this guilty consciousness even with sleeping with your wife at midnight. A scary dream and loud cry by you at midnight might even be an issue when your wife asks what happens honey! At this point, you have 2 options - either lie your wife you dreamt some other horror story or tell the truth you hanged out a girl and had fun, but just denied her last invitation alone! Then you can see all fun stuff at home. Now, tell me you want to take this risk?
