Sending messages from dating websites in an I-129F?

[microcebus 40]

My fiancée and I are putting together her I-129F materials now.  We've been members of a dating site since mid-2016.  We still use that site to communicate with each other since it keeps our whole message history (our profiles just say that we're not looking to meet anyone else).  A staff member of that site sent me proof that they are not an IMB.

 

I have been keeping a full log of all of our messages to each other in a series of long Word documents.  But since we are using private messages instead of emails, our email addresses are not there.  There is a way to print out the original messages from this dating site, but there are no years in the dates in their system.  Beyond this, the only proof I have that we sent messages to each other on particular dates is the email notifications from the dating site, which contain our usernames.

 

If I either use excerpts of this log or print the original messages from the dating site, is that sufficient for USCIS?  If not, is there another approach we should use?  The original messages are also part of lengthy message threads, so it could be a lot of extra pages to print out and send.

We didn't submit any chat logs. I had taken multiple trips to see her so we had a lot of pictures showing us together in her country and us with her family. Also the itineraries from those trips (flight and hotel), and copies of my passport with the stamps that matched the trip itineraries. We didn't have any issues by just submitting that. All they ask for is proof that you've met in person during the last two years.

USCIS doesn't care about that.  Ongoing relationship evidence is provided to the Embassy at time of visa interview

Hello how are you? I can not talk about your case because I believe that each case has its own particularities, but in that first moment it is more important to show that you know each other personally, try sending more photos, a copy of the reservation in the hotel, flight itinerary, things that show you were together in the same place, photos with friends and family, of course, if you want to send chat log ... but this will be much more relevant in the interview, where you can prove that you had a continuity in the relationship, good luck and a great 2018

Hotel reservations and flight itineraries are worthless because it shows you booked a flight/hotel and not actually flew/stayed.  You need to demonstrate you were in country.  Boarding passes/in country receipts/photos/passport stamps

These are just examples :). There are many things that can be sent.

Maybe, but my point is that an itinerary without a boarding pass is not evidence.  A hotel reservation without a receipt of the stay is not evidence
