Well, Hello Everyone.

Spousal Visa CR1

South Africa embassy.

 

The question regarding sending screenshots of Skype video calls and WhatsApp chats?

I heard many people state on this forum it's not required. But if I choose to send them.

From Jan 2019 to the current, do you recommend a few conversations every month for like three years? for Skype and WhatsApp. or better just every other month until current March 2022. or maybe a few throughout the years, like every three months.

 

Also, is South Africa a high fraud county?

 

your input is much appreciated

Is your spouse South African or from another country?

You can send screenshots of video calls and chats but make sure they are timestamped. 

I would choose only important information you want to include and only upload one file of conversations/communication.

Try to include interactions that are representative of your typical chats. I wouldn't send chats that are too similar (unless it shows planning for different trips).

So do send it every month you say? What is an example of chats that are similar you mean? We mailing our Petition not uploading it.

I personally don't believe South Africa is high fraud. Only 143 cases on VJ and consulate rating is fairly high so I think they're not too hard on interviewees there.

Everything you send they have to read. This is why I personally did not send chats (but also we live together). 

 

Chats that are too similar?

Our recent chat history from the last couple of years involves 3 subjects:

Where are you?

Can you pick up X from the store/Do we have Y at home?

Goofy gifs.

 

 

Everything you mail they'll scan into the system. You might want to reconsider mailing the petition. But, it is your choice.

Like if the screenshots at different time period show same type of conversation like "hi hello how r u, have dinner? Slept? I love u, i kiss u, i $$$ u" repeating similarly all the time, then that is not good. Choose screenshots for varying time period talking different stuffs like the way couple or people talk.

If you are using a lawyer you should tell them to review the chats your compile.
