How far back should one go on the chat logs? I couldn't possibly print out all of them.

Possibly 1 - 3 from each month depending on how long chats you have. But trying and pick nice conversations BTW you both.

I know this thread is a little dated, but I think this way (just picking a few random pages of your chat logs) is a sub-optimal approach.

 

There's a better way: Choose key milestones in your relationship (for example: when you traveled to his/her home country to meet up) then select chat logs that show your discussions about the trip before (and maybe after the visit), in addition to other corroborating, trip-related evidence (boarding passes, etc).

 

This milestone-focused strategy applies to most other evidence as well, except those explicitly required by USCIS/embassy.

Any ideas on what to do if your chats are on Instagram?

Can you print them?

Instagram just finally added a feature to let you print in April but when I download the chat log is was 2,788 pages. I am not sure the consulate would really want all that.

Just search through them and give them important conversations about your future that you're talking about and things of that nature.  Maybe a few pages from each month.

So, like I said in my post above, first decide which milestones you want to highlight (how you met, how you decided to get married, trips, plans for the future) then select 1-2 pages of the chat log that highlight these discussions for printing. Do NOT do a data dump.

 

Best of luck.
