Log into Skype, go to Skype Manager, sign up sign in the view records.

From there bring up list on screen and hit the ctrl and printscreen keys at the same time. Then go to pain and paste, it will past an image of the screen then print it. I tried to print directly from firefox and it is always messed up

organizing bonafide marriae info for packet

I had my initial package returned to me because USCIS didn't understand that in Costa Rica addresses are directions, and not specific streets and numbers. They had taken all my pictures which were in separate baggies with labels on each page and put them all into a single plastic bag. I'm guessing nthey don't care all that much about how "organized" we think we are being. I returned the package just as they had left it and it was accepted with no more questions so far.

Did you have to explain about the addresses?

Same question for all the boarding passes from out flights?
I also have sworn affidavits, how should they be organized? Phone records?
Thanks

evidence of bonafide marriage one more question

Where is she from (country)? Citizens of some countries are scrutinized more than others and it is wise to send a sample of many forms to prove a relationship. As the others have said, don't send a phonebook...samples are fine. The greatest scrutiny will come at the interview. Good luck and please fill in your timeline so everyone can benefit and assist.

She is from Poland, how is it as far as scrutiny? I will fill in the timeline as soon as I mail the packet, I promise

Pics for evidence of bonafide marriage

Well I am probably worrying about nothing. We have phone logs, wedding rings purchase receipt with photos, 4 notarized affidavits, plus one of my own describing how we met etc..., about 20 photos together with her family and mine (no dates in the photo but written on back),2 change of beneficiary forms and plane reservations and boarding passes (me going there and her here). I did not know going ito this what I would need or would have done more. But we are newly married living in different countries there is no joint bank accounts (I should have done it when she was here looking back on it, but it is too late now)

I can say that this is untrue for the Embassy we interviewed! I have read some members mentioning they were asked about this but most photos are not date/time stamped. This inquiry never came up for us. If you have appropriate evidence other than pics (money transfers, letters, emails, phone/chat logs, etc) than I don't think it would become an issue. If there is limited evidence of your relationship and very few pics, than I can see that this would come up to question, and only then...

Pics for evidence of bonafide marriage

I was told the pics are of no use without the time/date in the picture. Is this true? None of my pics have dates in them since they are taken with my phone. We have limited amounts of evidence to begin with

AP AR due to age difference

Good to hear, thanks, I was a little worried when I read it.

The age difference is no problem. The USCIS will not hold the age dufferebce against you.
My wife and I are 25 years apart in age. That may sound like a big number to you but their are couples with 35 years ages differences. My wife just got her Visa approved last Friday. Age difference was never mentioned during the interview. She is 34 and I am 59.
Good luck

Hi all:)
Can anybody tell me how long does it take the nvc review aos and iv papers and schedule the appointment at Warsaw embassy? Maybe some Polish vj members that went through the process can help me.
Or is there a website I can check that at?

Hi Gosia,

How are you? Only thing I found you can go at the top to immigration timeline, CR1, and filter by country. Latest entries from Poland were a year ago and who knows how quickly they filled forms etc... But it appears 3-4 months was average. You can take a look.
BTW I am leaving Wed. for Poland, I can't wait.
