Cell Phone Messages for ROC Package

[JM101 14]

My wife and I are firm believers in getting things started early and not waiting until the last minute panic.

 

BUT we have a problem and that is that neither of us are Techies.

 

Can anyone tell us how to print out our text messages from our cell phones so we can add to our ROC package??

 

We both have Samsung phones.

 

Thank you in advance.

Did you try to do screenshots on your phone? Then you download those screenshots to your computer.

Thanks for the reply Sunnyland,

 

We don't have screenshot capability on our phones, but if we did, that would only give us one page at a time.

What model of samsung do you have? A few years ago I had an old one and I was able to do screenshot.

Also, when you download the screenshots from your phone to your PC, they will be as JPG file so you can put several ones in 1 page. I remember I used microsoft word for that. I put a couple screenshots of texts per page.

Fact is you don't need texts or calls history for I-751. Focus on real stuffs like finances, insurances, motrage... we didn't even send pics  on my i751 back then.

[Scandi 4,102]

Yeah you probably won't need that for the ROC, but depending on what Samsung phones you have you can just take a few screenshots here and there and print. They really don't need 3 years of texting back and forth..

 

On most Samsung smartphones you just swipe the side of your palm from left to right across the screen. Or you press the on/off key and the big main key at the same time.

Im so confused as to why you are wanting to submit text messages for ROC package? All that is required if proof of co-mingling finances for the duration of your marriage. Things to include may be:

• Joint lease/mortgage
• Joint tax returns
• Joint bank/savings account
• Joint health insurance
• Joint car insurance policies
• Joint Car note
• Life insurance policies and so forth

Where did you read or find information stating texts were required for ROC?

Thank you Nancy,

I have all of those financials already. So even though that I may not NEED to, I want to add some additional stuff. I just don’t know how to access the information which is why I am asking for some help.

Do not submit anything that is NOT REQUIRED for the ROC package. Your not only wasting your time, but the time of the IO that has to sift through your case file. Just stick to what the requirements are.

Thank you for your reply.

I have most of those that you have listed and will be submitting them.

I never said the text messages were REQUIRED, I just wish to submit a few and am asking for help in printing them  out.

Tried that and it didn't work.

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

Don't submit anything other than what's required, If you have proof of ongoing co-mingling finances your well on to your way to getting approved for your 10 year green card . Note...... texts, photos, receipts etc are used to support WEAK cases. You clearly don't have this, so just send in what is actually required.

Recommend abandoning phone messages in favor of substantive financial/life-blending documents, such as wills, medical & statutory powers of attorney, and similar.

[Tahoma 2,291]

I always advocate being fully prepared...and I applaud you for that...but seriously...you don't need text messages...they are a complete waste of time.

 

Best wishes for a smooth ROC...!

I agree, sending text messages wastes everyones time.  Don't.
