I haven't submitted my husband's petition yet, but we are doing the same ones. I wrote down every single requirement I found, and you seem to have them all. Good luck! :]

[Poala 0]

Thank you sweetie! Good luck to y'all to!!

[Tanja08 11]

I would leave the Facebook page out! But otherwise pretty good!

[californiagurl28 0]

I would leave the Facebook page out! But otherwise pretty good!

Yeah, I don't think the Facebook page even matters. As long as there is nothing inappropriate on it, it would be fine to include, but probably won't make a difference. But then again people here always tell each other when in doubt, just bury them with papers. She has the primary evidence, and that's what matters! :]

[Tanja08 11]

Yes, she has enough evidence already. And if she really wants to show it, than she can always present it at the interview!

[Poala 0]

Ok sounds good thanks ladies! Ya I basically just threw in the fb thing bc I had heard the same thing just throw in as much as you can lol

[Tanja08 11]

Ok sounds good thanks ladies! Ya I basically just threw in the fb thing bc I had heard the same thing just throw in as much as you can lol

I would go with the normal evidence! According to my Facebook page I am 109 years old! Go with the basics, you can always take the rest to the interview with you!

My IO made fun of me for having to much stuff!

[inqztve 42]

I would leave the Facebook page out! But otherwise pretty good!

My lawyers included Facebook posting.
