I have over 350 pages of WhatsApp chat logs and that’s after filtering out fights or immigration talk. We talked almost every day. How many pages should I include? I did have a trip to see my fiancée in Russia in January (filed in Oct 2018) so we have 8  good photos from the trip to include. The chats range from Oct 2018 to the end of May 2019. I read online that it can hurt your case if you bring in too much  evidence of a relationship. What’s your advice? Thank you!

Chat logs are one of the weakest pieces of evidence.  I would only include ones that seem special, especially ones that can match up with a trip that you both took together that also may include photos to match.  Maybe 5 to 10 pages of chat logs at most is more than enough.  Sending them more than that won't necessarily hurt your case, but if I was an officer I would look at someone who sent me 300 pages of evidence as a bit ridiculous, that's extreme overkill.  Especially if 95% of it is random internet chat logs.  Try to balance with many other types of evidence, to cover all your bases.
