Tired

Try a little logic. If you were the officer what would you do with a written mountain of this type of chat. Keep in mind these people are busy and at least one is working on your case. Send in a few pages from the beginning, a few from the middle and a few more recent pages.

I agree with Ning. Do not go overboard with this. I took a members advice, Chat logs are Secondary evidence. Just send a few...I did not send more than 6 pages worth of chat logs and selected months at random.

What you need to do is take from the beginning of your relationship for every month. I did it when I went for my husband interview. I thought they wouldn't pay attention to it but for my surprise they kept it 500 pages. I was embarrassed because we talked things about husband and wife do and more. My husband always joke about how the CO took he/her time to read it ( maybe maybe not) and got excited about it

We only printed a couple of pages per month and encompassed one year of chatting. I would just do a few to span the years you were chatting. IE. maybe one at the beginning and end of each year, just paragraph or so.

My petition was approved, and I didn't include any chat logs whatsoever in mine... I know it varies depending on the case, and it's definitely better to include some than none. But I'd echo those who say that travel documents and evidence of meeting in real life is more important. I did, however, include very sincere letters from both sides stating intent to marry, etc.

Good luck!!

There's a lot of well-meant but truly terrible advice in this thread. Santo Domingo is not by any stretch of the imagination a powderpuff embassy.

OP, if you haven't filed the I-129F yet, front-load your petition package with meaningful material that you want the consul to see. Don't overload, but include a healthy amount that leaves no doubt as to the bona fide nature of your relationship. USCIS will not care about this information, but it will be passed on to the embassy, where it can be crucial. At all costs, exclude any communications wherein you refer to one another -- even in fun -- as "husband" or "wife" (if you're not married). This would be an automatic killer.

Equally crucial is that you budget your time and funds now for your eventual trip to Santo Domingo when the visa interview is ultimately scheduled. Your attendance is mandatory. Be thankful that SD is up-front about this, whereas others (chief among them the ####### consulate in Guayaquil, Ecuador) are deceptive.

For your peace of mind, go atop any VJ page, click "Embassy Info" and "Reviews: Embassy," and read every tip that you can find. Pay particular attention to the WORST experiences. Preparing now, which you're fortunate to be able to, will settle your nerves and solidify your petition package.

Finally, because you're apparently not married yet, go into your profile settings and change the information from IR-1/CR-1 to K-1. The "Filed For" information in the left sidebar of your posts could throw people.
