Screenshots of chats and calls for Moroccan/American Couple with age gap

 Hi everyone, When submitting the i130 application and documentation: how many chat conversations should I include?  How many per month and how many per year?   Would it be the same for calls too? We have known each other almost four years and I'm not sure how much to include.  Please give specific examples if you were successful!

I'll dispatch with the semantics first; the I-130 is a petition form, not an application form; you're not applying for anything, you're petitioning the government for your spouse to have the opportunity to apply for a visa.

 

As far as evidence goes, your focus should be A) evidence of time spent together in-person and B) quality over quantity.

 

With all that being said, you can include as many chat and call records that you feel make the most compelling case.  There is no set number as every case is different.

you don't need the whole chat

just show a few lines (with dates from chat room )from when you started and most current chat

a few lines to show different months in between

 

copy you boarding passes to show the trips to be with him as that is more important

 

i copied 4 photos on a 8x11 sheet of paper of about 25 photos showing the different visits and marriage (important to show some of u and his family)

 

do a 1 page cover letter stating how u met and each visit include both names and DOB's on the letter head (later when you have a case # make sure any documents sent to USCIS if they send an RFE have this info and case #

 

keep a copy of the application and all documents you send

Keep a copy of the petition and everything you send with it, as a PDF, with pages of the PDF in the same order they were stacked when mailed.

 

I'll re-state that evidence of time spent together in person is the most important.  Anything else is secondary to that.  If you send them too much paper to read, they won't read any of it.  Concentrate on examples and keep it under 30 pages of printed evidence.
