Yes they can be downloaded. Go to your settings in that chat and click email chat. It wil send the chat to your email. Afterwards, just format and print but you don't have to print but only a few pages. They're not gonna read 100+ pages of chat conversation.

I was going to post that you are wasting your time with chats in the petition stage but then you said Nigeria.

If youre preparing your I-129f you dont need chat history or anything you just need proof that you met, everyone always posts miles of chat history when its unnecessary. You will prove on going relationship later in the the process.

True 90+% of the time but we are talking about Lagos here.  A whole different ballgame

I’m preparing my I-129f what exactly do I send with the form to prove we met and also the part where they ask about meeting do I need to write my respond separate?..... did you do the same thing if so how long was your process!

we downloaded our whatsapp conversations and printed  but we excluded the Pictures / media so it was just a running text journal. We had no problem and we were never asked for any additional proof. Send good pictures not too many and make sure you both have your statement of intent to marry letter included.

If you want you can go to YouTube there a a lot of couples posting experiences and how they organized, things they included and what documents needed here is one

Just note that the video above is heavily oriented towards beneficiaries in the Philippines with some Philippines-specific aspects. When you search, be sure to look for Nigeria-oriented sources. Nigeria is a very difficult embassy to go through, so knowing what to do at each step with that in mind is important.

yes absolutely! while each K1 case is unique- use those as a guide and not to solely rely on them. I used a combination of VJ advice and some videos and we managed. I considered legal counsel or services like Rapid Visa but they can’t do anything more than you can. plus you are more likely to be more cautious and thorough since you’re the one emotionally vested in the process. I cannot emphasize enough how great this site is and how useful. Both in an advisory aspect as well as for emotional support. One tip is ALWAYS ALWAYS do a search before you post a question you’ll be surprised how often or common your question actually may be. Good luck and Godspeed
