Proof of ongoing relationship

[Catherine36 6]

Hello,

How many pages of screenshots of call logs/conversations did you include in your packets to show ongoing communication?

 

Thanks,

Catherine.

a couples of screenshots with dates on them. 3 from each month since you started communicating. no more than 3 pages.

I read quite a few people that say to just include a few intermittent call logs or texts but I would rather err on the side of caution and include more rather than less. If you include say 10 pages of call logs and five or six pages of sample text messages, what is the interviewer going to say? It's not like they can deny you because you provided too much proof of an ongoing relationship, right?

We didn’t submit any of those, however, I did submit almost a year of phone bills that highlighted his #.

Boiler and Duffy,

How did it fair for you?

 

Alabamak1---my screenshots didnt come out like you describe...they are one per 8.5x11. 🤷🏾‍♀️

 

Luckycuds---98% of our communication is via whatsapp: calls/videos/texts. Succinctly/redacted, I have 94 pages of texts and 25 pages of call/video logs. For the texts, that first month of communication (and i did not include the entire month) was the crucial month that determined the course we're now on [together almost 16 months]...subsequent months I printed 2/3 pages per month until June 2018. Call log---from 6/17 -6/18. By the time I read about using call log as proof, 2 months have disappeared from record. I also posted previously about the # of pics from trips---from 6 trips, we have chosen 28.

 

Too much??? Chris&Ale's last sentence comforted me.

 

Nonetheless, thank you all for your input. We have one more week to make a final determination of what to include in packet. 

 

Catherine.

Well I am here.

Catherine, if I understood your message above about screenshots, what you can do is to take the screenshots and paste them into a Word document (perhaps in Landscape mode) and then click and on the edge or corner of the screenshot to shrink it down. If it's nearly 100 pages, then perhaps I would pick the very first time you chatted, add in a few from the initial months and as the months approached the present day, increase the number of screenshots. Also, with a pot of pages, you may want to print double-sided to reduce thickness of documentation.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Catherine, I screen shotted* a few messages every month. Mostly of us talking about future plans and speaking about family and friends. I then printed the screen shots as pictures and used them as evidence. I used about 10 messages. 25 pictures of us and with family. I also included call logs and video chats. DR couple here too! Good luck

Catherine.

You are not seriously going to send more than 100 pages of texts and call logs, are you?  And 28 pictures?

Who do you think would waste their time looking at that stuff?

I sent maybe 6-10 pages. I doubt they really care too much at it. They're looking at the pictures, passport stamps, boarding passes, etc.

 

Anyone can type up ongoing communication and print it out, it's about the big overall picture. Quality not quantity

0. We got approved, had no problems. 

[Randyandyuni 2,682]

Enough to prove longevity and increasing closeness/planning etc.. we provided about 5-6 pages representing 11 months
