How much is enough evidence of bonafide marriage

[AG2212 5]

Seroiously!

 

My chat log with my wife since we started dating till today is about 2.k pages and thats in small font. we chat all the time seriously!

How much of that should I provide, I'm not convinced with the whole screen shot idea.

Thousands of calls and chat pages. what would you do?

 

And obviously some of you will say provide pictures well thats is already provided.

Part of it depends on what embassy/consulate you are going through. Some are more difficult than others.

 

In general, a good sample of chats is all they need or will look at. They aren't going to read 500+ pages of chat messages, or just see that you chatted and say "okay, you're legitimate". Chats and calls are just one piece of the puzzle. Do you have photos together? How much time have you spent together in person? Did you meet the families or communicate with them regularly? Do you have any red flags? There is no single piece of evidence required nor single item that will prove a bona fide marriage.

I totally agree with.

 

All of what you have mentioned is available, for an example although we have to many pictures a good 50 pictures do show us at different locations and with our daily members and our ceremonies and etc.

 

The chat is a very direct timeline to be honest it has dates and exact time stamps.

Passport stamps to show that you have visited each other would be great too.

They don't care about the content, just the flow.  I took random prints of one page each week. 

 

I organized each trip with travel documents (flights/hotel confirmations), visa stamps and pictures from the trip all labeled. 

 

My husband was a credit card signor.  I provided those statements, but this may not apply to everyone.

Awesome!

 

I was thinking of doing the same a time line makes lots of sense.

 

@bakphx1@aol.com Did you organize the in a folder, I mean a hard plastic ring filter or did just cover each year with an index  letter of contents?

They are going to build their own government file two-hole punched at the top, so any cover or binder will end up in the trash.  I would limit my examples of how and how frequently you communicate to no more than 25 pages.  Don't anger them with a file they can't lift and handle easily.  The more time you've spent together in person, the less other evidence you'll need.  Which country?  Red flags?  All this matters too.  The formula needs to match your circumstances and we don't know those.
