Excessive Chat Log - Too Many Pages

[SMR 368]

A ream of 20 pound paper weighs 5 pounds, so 1650 pages would be 16.5 pounds. You mention that it's 150 pounds when you add it with the emails. 150 pounds would be 15,000 sheets of paper. Do you have over 13,000 pages of emails as well? Are you planning on printing it onto photo paper? I agree with the others that it's completely unnecessary. But where did you get the 150 pound number? 11 sheets of paper does not weigh a pound. Also, double sided printing is your friend.

I don't think it is ok to print the actual chats. Those are private, nobody's business but ours. I will use PRTSQR to prove we have been chatting daily (on YM).

I just printed my Skype chat log to a file and found out it is 1,650 pages !!! Holy #######. With emails, this is going to be 150 lbs of paper requring a small suitcase. What did everyone else do ? I am sure we are not alone in this overwhelming amount of chat log evidence.

LOL I had 1200 and I brought it to turkey (skype) without adding facebook and MSN. I told him to bring all the papers is better a lot than less. I told my husband we wrote a book. ( not even harry potter has so many pages)

Which you can't bring in to the Immigrant Visa unit at at US Embassy in the world.

It's not allowed.

Would you include it in yer packet, your casefile?

Mail it in, but they did not want/need it.

I don't know where I got that from. I was probably still in shock about the page count but I looked at my 500 pages of copy paper and it says 20 lbs. 1650 / 500 = 3 packages so that would be 3 * 20 lbs = 60 lbs of paper. Either way, I'm skimming it way down and only selecting one email per week plus some chats.

I only put 10 pages of each, logs, emails ect..

Beg to differ. You may consider them personal, BUT.....the CO can and sometimes will, ask to see the contents. Reason? What were you talking about? As I said up thread were you talking about a life together? Or growing vegetables? Been there and done that. Personal experience.

Here is what I did (very similar situation).

I printed the first 20 pages... 20 pages in the middle, and 20 pages at the end, and the wrote a note. We didn't get RFE'd on it at all.. just on other things

Ours was about the same. I made it size 8 font, printed it double sided, landscape, 4 columns to a page. That put it down to 200 pages. They didn't read any of it, just flipped through it. But all the suggestions on here are good!
