i-130 relationship chat logs

[lunchboxthermos 1]

hi all,

i know a lot of people send in their chat logs, but i'm just wondering if anyone as any recommendations as to how many/how much is enough? i am sorting through 3 whole years of chats (most that are more-than-hour-long chats) and it is just taking so long. i feel like there's an easier way, and i'm just not figuring it out.

1) 2 convos per month - is that too much? especially if each convo is over 2 hours long?

2) 1 convo per month - if i go by this suggestion, then should i paste the majority of the conversation?

and since the CO in taiwan would actually be reading through these, does that also mean if i include, say, 50 pages of this portion, it would go faster than if i included 100 pages?

would really appreciate any advice to make this part less stressful.

(just FYI, i also have in the evidence - marriage cert, wedding invite/reception card, scans of cards & notes sent to one another, 13 pages (4 pics per page) of photos over the course of our 3 years together).

I sent exactly zero conversations and had no problems getting to the NVC stage. We met 5 times in both the US and Japan before we filed so maybe that had something to do with it. I think if you can show that you've met a few times the conversations are irrelevant. I imagine that photos with family and friends and wedding invite/cert are probably the most important for establishing a legitimate relationship.

I thought you are living together?

Nope! during the almost 3 years prior to marriage, we did not live together (even though we are in the same country).

Okay great, thank you! I think I will cut back on this portion, then.

I sent 1-2 conversations for every 3 months and that was fine for us...
