Take ANY and ALL proof of relationship that you have. AND be sure to let them know that you have pictures., letters, hard copy log of e-mails to and from each other. AND be assertive, do not wait until they ask for something...sometimes they don't ask.

ANYBODY else care to join in??

The mistake we made was providing a few emails across the whole year of communicating. My husband was asked for more evidence of communication. So we printed off dozens of emails from each month rather than just a sample. They do like to see stacks...for whatever that proves.

Hi - my husband went in with 2- 5inch binders of chats and emails - ecards ... he also had letters and real cards that I mailed him... 2 picture albums (one entire album of our wedding and the other a compilation of all the trips I made over there....) Everything was in separate tabs (chats - emails - ecards - phone logs .....) I made it very organized and in chronological order. *** oh and yes the other guys that were waiting to interview were teasing my husband about bringing so much ..... well all I have to say is that there were not too many applicants that day that were approved and Thank God my husband was one of them!!! ***

I can tell you from my husbands experience the CO that interviewed him (she was very nice by the way) didnt look at the proof very closely BUT she did spend ALOT of time looking through the pictures and was asking him about the people in the pictures (my mother and children were there for our wedding)...... not so much interrogating him about it but more in conversation... he said she was smiling a lot when she looked at the pictures.

Also -- the other response that said you have to be agressive -- this is the truth -- DO NOT GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY NOT TO LOOK AT YOUR proof... my husband was prepared for this and he had the photo album opened and was pushing it through the window as the woman asked about pictures ..... he said he was very polite about it but he did push it through with a smile (of course) telling her to look at his wife and the beautiful children... well all I can say is that in our case it worked.

I know others have had a difficult time through Casa but thank God his experience was pretty easy (other than the wait -- he was one of the last interviews of the morning so he waited around for about 4 hours in June in a suit -- YUK it was HOT).

Also - remind your fiance to talk slowly and clearly and if he does not understand something not to be shy about asking them CO to repeat the question in a different way.... oh yes and tell him to SMILE!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck with the interview -- do you have a date yet or did I miss that??

Good luck at your interview Rachid. Like MBP said, make an attempt to hand them proof even if they don't ask for it.

You won't be allowed to take a brief case into the consulate. I'll send some tips about visa interviews to your mailbox.
