My wife received email notifying that interview is scheduled for April 18. they requested additional documents to prove that relationship is genuine and still ongoing.

"You are required to bring the following documents to the interview:

At the interview, you should submit recent evidence to prove that your spousal relationship with your sponsor is genuine and still ongoing. Such evidence may include:

i. Correspondence between you and your sponsor such as: letters with their original post-marked envelopes, printouts of e-mail messages, chat records, faxes, etc. We kindly ask to please submit the following documents: ETECSA phone calls and text messages summary, (Please, note that the completed call record from ETECSA, must be submitted and not only the international phone calls); recent text messages and emails (IMO and NAUTA) (whatever has not been submitted yet).

ii. Telephone bills indicating calls between you and your sponsor (whichever has not been submitted yet). DO NOT submit phone cards, unless accompanied by an itemized statement from the phone-card company.

iii. Photographs of you and your sponsor together, (whichever has not been submitted yet). The photographs must be printed. DO NOT bring photographs in electronic devices such as CD's or USB memories.

iv. Sponsor`s entries and exits records – please note that this document could be requested at immigration offices in Cuba.

Any other evidence that you would like the immigration officer to consider and that might be useful to demonstrate the genuineness of your relationship with your sponsor."

I don't get it why they are requiring this from them "ETECSA phone calls and text messages summary, (Please, note that the completed call record from ETECSA, must be submitted and not only the international phone calls)"
Why is their business what other calls were made or received?

I'm thinking they want this info is to prove that the relationship is the same as when we originally sent in the application. It was last July when we started the process.
