If it makes you feel better hauling a thousand pages go for it. But no CO is going to go thru a thousand pages. Most people bring a sampling to show conversations over the months, maybe a page or two for each month. I gave my wife 20 pages and the CO only looked at one. In terms of "missing something" I doubt if it will be in chat logs, but in some other documentation. Just my opinion.

You are so right. Absolutely absurd to haul suitcases of chat logs to USEM. No officer is going to look at all that. In fact unless there is a red flag, chances are they will not look at anything. It seems that people always concretate on the wrong things. I have never heard of a case at USEM, being delayed because of lack of chat logs, cards, etc etc. It is almost always lack of sufficient income, no divorce decree, missing info on NBI etc etc.

I know someone is going to say, " What will it hurt to have all that in case, my answer is nothing. It will not hurt to memorize the pre amble to the constitution, the words to the star spangled banner or to memorize the state capitols, it's jsut that it's totaly a waste of time. Concentrate on the important things like making sure you have all your legal docs in order and you meet the basic requirements for income and have proof of that etc etc.

A few random selected pages of chat logs, a few cards, receipts where you sent money, 7 or 8 pictures are plenty. I hear people talk about thier 5+ lb packages they send for the interview and scratch my head.
