Letters and cards as evidence

[Imua 0]

I am trying to get across to my husband how much evidence we need to present to the Embassy and I think deep inside he thinks it will be smooth sailing since we have a legal marriage certificate and his family has some influence - in Kathmandu, but it's not worth anything to the CIS...

I have told him many times to please send me letters, post cards, over a period of time so I can present them es evidence, and he doesn't get it - when I asked for post cards he thought I wanted him to send me an envelope of pretty pictures... I also know that he doesnt understand why he needs to send letters when email or phoning is so much quicker.

I honestly think people in Nepal(and maybe other countries with similar economies or lack of infrastructure) are not in the habit of letter writing, since there is no reliable home postal delivery and most homes do not even have a numbered address... I was going to apply for a K-1 for my ex-fiance(also Nepali) and he got a post office box just for that purpose - previously he had no need for a postal address.

I am wondering if the lack of letters will be looked at that harshly given those circumstances. - anyone have any experience or insight?

They still do check out snail mails now and then. I had to force myself to write one a week. Cheated now and then and sent postcard.

If that's what the want! That's what they got.

Wife said they didn't read any of them. Nor emails, chats and screen prints either, but they saw the pile.

More ammo the better!

The officer that Claudeth interviewed with looked at the letters, cards, emails and Messengers threads that we submitted. I believe that more is better

We only had 2 or 3 letter by post. The rest was stack of e-mails. My hubby insisted on printing EVERY one. Good thing too...his most of his interview was based on the e-mails! His interview randomly read some of our e-mails and asked personal questions like. What was my dogs name, describe him (I sent my husband a photo of my dog in an e-mail), stuff about my parents, very random.

We didn't have any posted letters. However you communicate is fine, as long as you have the evidence. If he sent you pictures, save the envelope. It isn't worth fretting over as long as you have other communication evidence and visits.
