No one has asked anyone for email. The only thing they want to see IS PROOF
of the relationship. Email, snail mail, phone cards are some of the things
you can use to proof it. Remember! The government wants to make sure that
the relationship is genuine. That's all they want. Ofcourse, it's easy to
say than done.

Re: Send NOA's with Packet 3?
Rene and Andy,
Why would you provide any correspondance with an I-129f? The I-129f requires proof of having met in person within the last 2 years, not proof of corresponding.

I didn't provide any email or computer-type correspondence in my I-129F submission, either, and in fact not even any handwritten correspondence. My fiance and I only communicate on the phone (just this year we started sending a few cards and gifts here and there), so I turned in my phone bills showing calls to Turkey and Iran, along with other info such as you mentioned....plane tickets, photos, and passport entries. Any correspondence we do is in Farsi anyway, and what a pain to have to translate that to English to prove what we said! LOL
Best Wishes to you for a speedy NOA2,

My attorney suggested including copies of phone bills to show an ongoing relationship over the past 2 years, in addition to having met in person. It was not a requirement, but she felt it would be beneficial, so I complied. :-)

In the circumstance you describe I would have done the same.

Rene - I'm glad there's someone else feeling as stressed as I am!
I am to-ing and fro-ing as to whether to include phone bills (I am in
UK, and use a telecomms provider - rather than a phone card which my
other half does), as well as proof of having met.
I think I'll send them to my fiance all the same - you never know what
you could be RFE'd about.
By the way, what does RFE stand for??
Jeff - thank you for attempting to introduce common sense and
rationality to a very stressful situation.

Meauxna (by the way, is that pronounced "Mona"?), you are right, it makes sense to keep all the important immigration paperwork in one spot :-)
Now...where is that darned Packet 3??? LOL

Thanks for the tip! I don't mind taking them out, they're the top loading kind for easy access. It's just to keep everything clean, protected, and in order until they ask for a document. I'll be happy to tear the whole binder apart if it means they will grant the visa :-)
