No need to screenshot conversations. It's not a requirement, nor a recommendation in any of the forms. Sources: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-129finstr.pdf https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-129f.pdf -

I don't think it can hurt anything, but it's also not necessary. Chat logs can be forged pretty easily, so don't hold much weight.

Department of State and National Visa Center
Stook replied to Wouldrow's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
I don't recall my beneficiary ever getting anything during the process, other than her Thai passport returned to her with the new Visa page. That was about 1 year ago All notices came to me, the petitioner, either by mail or email. -
We included some pictures from time we spent together in Thailand and photocopies of first and most-recent airplane tickets to Thailand. And, the "Letter of Intent to Marry". No chat logs, no screenshots. Got through with no RFEs.

Canceling K1: fee refund? (Split)

The answer is unfortunate and your laughter at their situation is not helpful. -
My fiance's son was 11 yrs old. My fiance has sole custody of him. We didn't need a letter from the father, since mom has sole custody. We did include both the Thai language divorce papers (Copy) , as well as the english-translated copy.

K2 interview with K1 or separate?
Stook replied to Purple_Paladin's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
We did the DS-160 for my fiance's K1. Got confirmation page. Then, we did the DS-160 for for her son's K2. This asked if there was an associated K1. I can't recall which number we had to enter, but it ended up linking the two DS-160s together. They had 1 interview. -
Where in the I-129f instructions does it say anything about including call / chat history / text messages? I'm quite curious why this question keeps showing up in various places. The I-129f doesn't ask for any of this, and neither do any of the other forms. To prove bonafide relationship, we included some pictures of us together and air travel receipts from some of my trips to Thailand. But the most-important documents (in my opinion) were our letters of "Intent to Marry", which were basically: "I Stook, and Sweet Thai Lady met on <date> and most-recently spent time together on <date within 2 years of application>. Between those dates, we travelled together numerous times.... extremely happy to have met each other....blah blah. We fully intent to get married within 90 days of her arrival within the United States." Signed, Mr Stook" "I Sweet Thai Lady and Mr Stook met on <date> and most-recently spent time together on <date within 2 years of application>. Between those dates, we travelled together numerous times.... extremely happy to have met each other....blah blah. We fully intent to get married within 90 days of her arrival within the United States. Signed, Sweet Thai Lady"

The "packet" refers to "Packet 3 & 4". Each embassy handles it a bit differently. This us where instructions begin to deviate. I'll give our example .. We were processed through US embassy in Bangkok. After NVC notified me (petitioner) that our case was bring forwarded to the embassy in Bangkok, I soon received and email from the embassy titled "K Visa Packet 3 & 4 instructions". The email informed us that we could schedule our interview, but to first follow instructions on the embassy website. The website had the "packets", which were simply a PDF file with instructions for next steps...which documents to prepare, information about the required medical exam, etc. In fact, for us, there were no longer separate "Package/Packet 3 & 4', but rather a single "Packet 3, in PDF format". I just checked KL embassy's website for the "packet" instructions, but couldn't find anything.

I didn't include ANY paystubs. I only provided my most-recent year's tax transcript. But, some embassies have different requirements.
-
They can transmit electronically. I would seal the packet myself, just in case.

Thanks for the tip. We used two different local companies in Pattaya/Jomtien. Both did great translation work. Though, one of them didn't want to put the self-certification statement on the documents (instead, they wanted to use their own stamp... Which i refused). I'll have to dig up the names of the place we used, later.

NEW MEDICAL REPORT NEEDED
Stook replied to LEKRISONLINE's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports
Probably pretty quick, after you get your medical updated. I know the process is frustrating, but hang in there. You're almost done! -
It may not be a requirement, but it's never a bad idea to do any little thing that can improve your chance of success. Why are so many people here so quick to discredit and look for an argument?
