How much is TOO much?

[RumbaBumba 4]

Hey Everyone,

As I get closer to the interview date, I am double checking my evidence (following the advice of many of the posters here). However, when it comes to contact my wife and I have been blessed with bountiful amounts of contact.

In emails alone I believe we have over 7,000... We're talking like 10-12 binders full. For this sort of interview? What are they expecting to see? Im nervous showing up with too little, but even too me this feels a bit overkill. What do you guys think?

7000 e-mails is way way WAY too much

10 - 12, e-mails total, from the span of your relationship is sufficient

But that is seconary evidence, what primary evidence do you have? a visit, or several, has much more wieght behind it than an email

They aren't looking for every single word ever uttered to your spouse, they are looking for consistent communication

Good luck

Call or email the consulate--they will tell you exactly what they want

What about picking out one from each month of contact - my plan is to print the list of emails, that show the subject and the date, not the actual email.(just the list is several pages). Maybe give them a few from over the years of actual printouts of the email, but other than that, just the list.

Good luck, Rumba!

Oh yeah, in this respect we have tonsof evidence. Govt. documents saying we lived together, tons of flights to be together (plane tickets, visa photocopy, tons of pictures, phone records, money transfers, shes on my account payable on death). Hmm im relieved to read this. i appreciate it Canadian. Imma try calling them. But glad to know about emails being secondary evidence.

Besos!
