Can I send DVD Videos to the embassy as proof of relationship?

[JRF 117]

Hi VJ.

After haven sent in all we have to proof our relationship, I am still asked again for the second time after my interview to bring "proof of relationship".

I was told it's not advisable to send in Videos CDs or DVDs, but right now I'm left with no choice but to do so.

I have several intimate videos of me and my fiance together. Can I send them to the CO as proof of relationship?

OP...you were given a lot of good advice on prior threads over the past two weeks regarding your situation. In my opinion simply submitting stills from a DVD will not help much, if at all. Per your prior posts you've already given plenty of pictures, yet the CO asked for more support of a bona fide relationship. This is another way of saying he doesn't care about the pictures as much as he suspects you are potentially defrauding the USC petitioner. NOTE that I am not accusing you of doing this - I am merely stating what is likely given the relatively high rate of visa fraud in Cameroon (as stated by posters with experience in that country).

One thing that struck me from your earlier posts is the fact that you submitted a wedding dress bill, wedding ring receipt, and wedding INVITATION as evidence. This confused me at the time but I assumed Cameroon custom is to have a wedding ceremony for the benefit of relatives who cannot travel to the US for the legal wedding. I don't know Cameroon customs...but including these items in your evidence wouldn't seem to me to help at all. Such ceremonies are common in a country like Vietnam (where I am very knowledgeable about customs) but my advice to K-1 filers in Vietnam is to focus on the engagement ceremony and not any wedding ceremony (however benign) as it can only lead to a suspicion you are trying to short-circuit CR-1 wait times.

So...to reiterate...I am NOT accusing you of anything...I am merely suggesting you look back over your prior posts and determine whether you are realistically able to overcome the suspicions of the USG. You need to be realistic - as other posters to your prior threads have indicated the reality may be that you have to legally marry your fiancé and apply for a CR-1. More waiting? Sure. But you need to be realistic about what it will take to move here and join your fiancé. Submitting stills from a DVD is, in my opinion, a waste of time. Just my opinion however.

I wish you the best of luck!

JRF, thank you so much for your comment on my post; you have really taken your time to do this. I appreciate it.

I thought as much it'll be waste of time capturing frames from the videos, when i can just print out pictures instead.

However, I got the point cleared; the answer to my question. I wont send videos to the embassy.

I'll just do as a poster said; write a letter titled "evolution of our relationship" and print some other pics i didnt print before, together with more conversation. This are all I have and can think of when it comes to more proof of our relationship.

No, they will not look at it.

Ok i got it.
I wont send.

Thank you all for your responds.

Thank you VJ

I guess they would not spend time watching video so paper form proof is more preferable.

Do not send sexual content. If you have e-mails, chat log, phone conversations, pictures, flight itinerary tickets hotel reservation etc. I received a RFE and it was a simple fix. they RFE for my divorce. Hope you get approved.

Nope they don't accept dvd's, you've heard of shoe bombs and lately tooth paste bombs...well, as far as they know dvd bombs are next....

Send photos...
