    starting writing letters to each other, say every 2 weeks, my misses use to write like a weeks diary to me , how your getting , oh you miss each other, oh i'm going all

    keep the envelopes , you cannot get better evidence than snail mail with a letter in an envelope stamped with the date on

    of course text and email still, but a written letter is the best evidence you can have of a genuine relationship, more personal than a typed email or txt

    handwritten letters always LOOK BETTER than emails because they ARE more 'personal' but, as I've just said to Michelle, the ECOs are well-aware of the problems vis-a-vis the Philippines' postal service [if it can be called such!]. I mean, you and I both know only too well that it would extremely difficult for two people to sustain a long-distance relationship if they relied on "Snail Mail"!

    Yes, it's a good idea to send perhaps a few written communications as an adjunct. But Myrna and I emailed one another practically every day and, apart from exchanging Festive cards at Christmas 2007, all our correspondence was conducted electronically. And evidently the Embassy was satisfied with that arrangement since her visa was approved in what I understand was 'record-quick time' - and without the need for an interview!

    email's fine ... Myrna & I communicated this way - for almost a whole year in fact - and it ended up looking almost like a book! But that was just US! Indeed when it came to submitting Xerox copies, we wondered if the ECO would even bother going through it all with a fine toothcomb.

    And besides, the British Embassy staff are well-aware of the problems involved in relying on handwritten letters sent by "Snail Mail".

    Keeping a daily log, or diary - as Joe suggests is a good idea too.

    oh i didn't write to her once or keep a diary , but the misses sent me a letter every couple of weeks, she added a bit to the letter everyday for a week or so then sent it, when we applied for a visa i sent the letters and envelopes, the letters and cards were spread over years

    the more evidence the better, but i don't think they will take your cd
