photos as evidence of meeting....

[pushbrk 12,816]

Hi,

well we just got approved NOA2, and we submit 0 ZERo: Yes zero photos, cause we had enought proves of meeting in those last two years: my trip to the USA, our trip meeting in Europe and flights and hotels, and his trip to Algeria, plus phone record!

we didnt submitt: any emails or chat record or letters with that! im not sure im going do that to the embassy, maybe just few emails and letters, cause we never though of saving chat logs,and feel its really strange that peopel save there chat conversation, this maybe will show that all this relationship is planned since the first conversation, i guess to be unperfect somehow in evidence is normal!

I guess ,u dont have to put too much pictures, just organize them carefuly, by trip and periode, that will tie to the trips and travel evidence, and also, choose pics together, activities, but also with people: freinds, family .....

Hope this may help!

we will see, what the co will ask me at interview!

Petition approval is not visa approval. Be very well prepared for the interview.

It may sound strange to you that people save their chat logs; however, it may interest you to know that Yahoo Messenger automatically saves chat logs unless you specifically ask it not to do so. In fact, anyone can access their chat history through the YM archive. I frequently refer to my chat history to verify phone numbers and other info that my fiancee has passed on to me during our conversations that I have forgotten. A chat log is quite useful, and hardly an instrument, as you suggest, to create visa fraud. Absent any photos, I consider you to be lucky that USCIS did not send you an RFE. The Consular Officer will likely apply a higher burden of proof, and may not be so forgiving. I suggest that you bring along many Emails etc to compensate for your lack of photos. Good luck.

You've already filed the petition. The CO is not concerned about evidence of meeting. USCIS will adjudicate that based on primary evidence. Photos are secondary evidence of meeting. For USCIS or the Consulate, I recommend printing multiple photos per page, in color, on plain white paper. You may then add any date or other information you think may be helpful. If the photos are not already showing an interior date, that's fine.

I agree that submission of photos to add context is OK. We sent a few with the petition, and brought a bunch to the interview. The CO took may have looked at a couple, along with tax records. We dated the back by hand, and wrote the place on them. Others brought albums of photos, and binders full of just email or skype logs. The CO was not interested in any of that.

Just be aware that the interviewer will be behind a glass window with a very narrow opening allowing nothing as big as a scrapbook to pass through it.

Doesn't it depend on the embassy? I have seen two interview rooms (Poland and Ukraine). If a petitioner had documents they wanted to see that didn't fit through the window, they just opened the door nearby and took them in.

If they had tried that in Ecuador, some necks would have risked being wrung.

I hope it all goes well for you. I was also adviced on the plane while traveling to see my filipina fiance that I should bring photos as well just to help further conclude our relationship. I have met my gf's family and exchance messages with them all the time. I am about to start my petition soon. Hope it goes for you and me
