Collecting relationship evidence

[KimAdvent 0]

Hi there. I am working on putting together our evidence of relationship. We talk to each other on messenger. I am trying to figure out the best way to do this. Are they going to want to see all our conversations? I have no clue how I am going to copy all of this. Facebook does not keep chat history and I have been messing around with this for an hour trying to screen shot. It’s a lot and I’m thinking there must be an easier way. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

We've hired a company to help us prepare our documents. They have said not to submit any WhatsApp/Messenger conversations. Instead, I've prepared 10 colour pictures, 2 per page detailing dates and locations and who is in each picture. We've also included all passport stamps, electronic flight confirmations and also the I-94  record in addition to hotels, gift receipts where we've sent each other cards and presents, etc. The WhatsApp messages and messenger stuff you can download from the Settings and keep that with you for the embassy interview.

You have to go from a PC or laptop into messenger. They should have a function to download conversations. I had to Google that and it was relatively easy. From there I just picked a random sample of one page per week and then would send a screenshot of the actual conversation of that date. That part was a little bit cumbersome. I would not try to give them an entire history, they just want enough to show that you had regular communication over a period of time. I printed everything front and back to keep the size small. They definitely are not interested in Reading hundreds of pages case after case.

I tried that from my PC.  It was dreadfully cumbersome and painfully slow.   We finally spend a few hours making random screen shots( about conversations a week) over the course of a year.....it worked, but it wasn't fun....lol

Same here.  I did it here and there when I had downtime.  It was cumbersome.
