I have been wondering about this question also! I am also curious of how to contact Skype for records older than 6 months. Both mine & my fiances computers have been replaced, or restored since we met due to problems. We met on a chat/dating site over 2 years ago. I plan to contact that site for records as well. Also is there a way to track down old mail records for the same reason. I mailed her 2 packages which we currently have no records of. I used a UPS store to mail the packages. Are cell phone records useful for this as well? We have property records,bills, & joint bank account together also!

Thanks for any advice!

We included a complete book of emails - I had email correspondence with her sister and aunt which wasnt too much volume wise but it covered a one yr time period. I printed all these emails out and marked them as Email records with Sister and Aunt. Between me and my wife we had millions of emails and it wouldnt have been possible to print all emails out, so I just printed inbox view - it showed that emails were from her and the date.

Also cell phones records are important - we have cellphone bills for almost a year we included all of them. One other thing that we had included was engagement announcement. My mother in law wanted us to give our enagagement announcement in the local newspaper - we included the newspaper copy of it. My interview was really simple it lasted only for a couple of minutes. :)

Trust this helps.

Regards.

Hi I have huge Email,Chat and skype history ...To be on the safe side how many pages of Email,Chat and skype history is reasonable enough for the evidence???

The CO is not interested in those large packets. All he/ she is interested is a proof of continuing relationship. Just pick a few from different periods from the start of your relationship till interview - say one per week is good.

However if you have any red flags (meaning age difference is large or spouses from different religions or ...), then take all.

Oh that's horrible. Skype history usually store on computers. I'm glad my fiance and I have using our own laptops so all history still stay there. Some people often forget to change the setting to keep chat forever. They should checked it to make sure Skype keep all history and call records as well.
