Calling card fiasco!!!

[Wisjam 0]

I've always called my fiance with a calling card. I called the calling card company today and they told me I could not get records, if I wanted them I would have to contact an attorney. I immediately set up an international calling plan with my cell phone company (they provide records online), but I have no way to prove past calls from calling card. I have the calling card and proof that I used it on my cell records, but it does not show who the calls were actually made to. My petition is at NVC now, how long will it take until the interview? How many of months of phone records should be provided at the interview? Will the calling card and proof of use on phone records count for anything??? I'm so stressed!!!

Do you have anything else to show ongoing relationship? I don't really understand, you must have know you couldn't get any call logs from this calling card company when you were working on the I-129F petition. There are other cards that do provide call logs like some of the cards from Zaptel.com

Don't really know what to tell you, I guess provide them a combination of what evidence you got and explain why you failed getting the call logs. Good luck.

Phone records are only 1 type of evidence. My fiancee and I can't talk on the phone. She's got a lousy cell provider and I can't get through to her from a land line or my cell in the US. Just provide more photos or other evidence and if it comes up in the interview, explain the situation. Should be alright.

Your interview would probably be scheduled within the next 2 months, i.e Sept or 1st of Oct.

Is the phone cards the only way you were communicating with your SO? No email or IM's?

I used a calling card for quite a long time until I realized the same thing. It was really a bummer as that was our primary means of communication because my fiance rarely had internet access and we couldn't often email. I then set up an account with an international service that kept logs of all the calls. By the time he had his interview, we only had about 2 1/2 months of records. I also sent copies of the calling cards themselves and the receipts for them (which don't count for anything, but just in case...). We were approved no problem.

However, I did also send whatever emails we did have, as well as all of our text messages - fortunately I did have a text service which not only logged the date/time of the texts, but the text messages themselves in full.

Other than a few cards here and there, yes, we only communicate by phone. He doesn't have access to a computer, he lives in rural Jamaica.

Thanks, I guess you can only do what you can do. I am planning on sending a copy of phone card and phone records showing use. I'll send whatever records I have from my cell from now until the interview.

It's so funny, I've known Nigel for 11 years, we have photos together from when we were in our 20's (now in 30's). We've known eachother longer than most married American couples I know, and I'm still worried about proving a relationship. SIGH!

What does your visitation record look like? How often have you visit him, and do you have pictures from the visitation. Are you saying that you only have photo's when you'll were in your 20's. Now since you have stated that you have known him for a long time as a friend, how will you be able to convince immigration, that this isn't just for a GC. Look at it through their eyes.

I visited a lot when I was younger. Over the past 5 years, I've visited him 5 times and have photos from all trips. What is a GC? I think the fact that we have known each other for so long and stayed in touch for so many years would be a good thing. We have always had real feelings for each other and a good relatinship, but neither of us wanted to get married (to anyone) when we were younger. We have both matured and are ready for marraige now. I think it's good that we have had a relationship for so long and did not jump to getting married right away.

Okay let me be the CO

GC MEANS Green Card

Petitioner-petition for her finance, Only visits him once a year, Note Jamaica is not a hard country to visit.

No email records or Im chats,

Phone records shows that there have been calls made on a 800 nummber, but to whom

You'll have known each other for a long period of time as friends.

They would want to know how are you'll maintaing relationship, if you only visit once a year.

I see where you are coming from. No, Jamaica isn't a hard country to visit, but I have a son who I need to bring with me, that= at least $1000 per trip. I also have to take off of work to visit. I'm not made of money. I have the incoming calls from him on my phone log, but that's only a couple of times a month, it's much cheaper for me to call him with my calling card.

There is nothing I can do now about not having the records from the calling card. I was just looking for advice about what I could do and how many months of phone records would be sufficient.

I am not trying to discredit you, but I am trying to help you to be prepare for what might be asked of your SO. You will not be at his interview, so you will not be able to explain the circumstances.

Jamaican embassy has become a little tougher to get through, than in the past years. So you'll needs to be prepared for these questions.

Good luck on your journey.
