I think the fact you are bringing all this is good.. also a CR1 and not a K1 is the best approach.. have you met her family? pictures with them or friends? are you around the same ages? how long hate you known each other/dated and been married? lots goes into play! you are defintely on the right path... how many times have you met her?

So won't they say 2000 pages is too much .

2,000 pages is probably too much. What I would suggest is reading through your conversations and narrowing them downing to snippets. Try to find a good conversation once a week or a couple in a month. Focus on times you talked about your future, each other's families, learning about each other's cultures, etc. Also include some of the mushy stuff too. Think quality of quanity. To give you an idea, my Whatsapp messaging was about 1,700 pages when I exported it. I narrowed it down to about 150 pages.

2000 pages are too much. CO don't time to read all those page. Narrow it down to 2 page every week. Did you front load any chat logs when you were still at USCIS stage? front loading helps a lot. Also whatever love story you wrote to USCIS about how met is very important to the CO. So make sure that start practicing possible interview questions. When is your interview? Also, make sure that you arrange and divide them nicely. Good luck to you. If you have any further questions, PM me.

Front loading doesn't always help sometimes it hinders u depending on the co they don't always read all of that stuff plus the questions are based on what u send
