Same with us. We are sending our application next week. We don't have much proof from dating, a lot of it was sent to USCIS when I was applying for my Green Card here in the U.S. Many of the photos we had at the time were from a disposable camera (some of you may remember what that is :D) and we can't locate the negatives (remember those????)
However, we have been married over 5 years so I don't think that will be an issues. We have lots of pics and proof since our marriage.

I know what you mean. We struggled with the same issue. How much is enough? How much is too much? I think as long as you did your due diligence and included as much relevant proof as you can, you'll be ok. It's about proving that the relationship is genuine, and that doesn't require 300 photos!
We submitted 9 photos only... I hope that it will be enough! Wedding with all the family and friends plus trips we've taken together (honeymoon, anniversaries, etc)
We did not submit any chats or email logs from our long distance days as its almost 5 years ago now. Few cards we exchanged when we were long distance.
We dated long distance for 1 year and been living together for almost 4, married 3 years. We focused on rent agreements and joint accounts, etc.

Best of luck to everyone. For those of you who are not together yet especially. Must be tough but we've been there so we know how difficult it is

That's fantastic! I wish I had seen the thread a month ago when I was panicking!!
Gotta say that I did something similar, just not as organised and included cover letters, etc.
In the end forgot to put the barcode on top... but it should be fine.

Deepak, how is your application coming along?

Deepak, how is your application coming along?
I completed my file. I will send on Monday First thing.

I have a small confusion about proof of employment letter. Should i enclosed original "letter of appointment". Which was from Last year and enclosed few latest pay stubs, or Should i Asked my Employer to reissue the letter with current date? and enclosed both

any suggestion welcome

thanks

Hi Everyone,

I sent our application around March 31st from Beijing and it was received by CPC-M on April 2nd according to DHL.

My wife did the medical back on February 22nd but it took time getting the police record check and the notarized documents. In China many things just take a little longer as the applicant may only apply for these things in their birth city and not in any other cities around the country...

Once approved, my application will go to Beijing.

On the top left it says, "Show new replies to your posts"
It will bring up all the threads you are active in
Saves you from hunting!

(Not that we all don't want something to occupy our free time with - sorry if I ruined the fun)

So did I!
But while searching for a "have your visa approved automatically" hidden button I stumbled upon that..

I have a feeling my status updates will include my straightjacket size soon
As soon as we have SA I will calm down.
I promise!

Yikes! The internet is kind of a mess lately with all the security issues
It would be cool for you to sign in when you can and just have a bunch of good news in there though!
