Question about Evidence of Relationship - Chat Logs

[lenasophia 9]

Hi, all!

My fiancé and I are planning on including our Whatsapp convos in our petition and I have a few questions. I got the archived chat sent to my email via Whatsapp which means it is in the form of a Notepad doc. I edited it so that it only includes 1) conversations in English and 2) conversations about planning vacations together, declarations of love, hanging out, etc.

My questions are:

1) Is it okay that it is an edited Notepad doc? Will it be suspicious, and would it just be better to include a few manual screenshots directly from my phone/the app?

2) Is this even necessary? Our entire 9-month relationship has been in-person, we have so many pictures together from so many months, so wondering if this step is even needed for proof.

 

Thank you so much to all!!

Should be okay; we used actual screen shots of our texts through Imessage. Generally they don't need too much. We sent literally like 10 screen shots of messages showing a timeline of our conversations, didn't care or worry much about the content (minus not putting anything super personal in it). 

 

Photos are secondary evidence. The fact your relationship has been in person the whole time you really don't need to stress too much as that is the best evidence of bonafide relationship there is.

they dont ask for chat logs , stick to the official doc , sending stuff that they didnt ask for can be suspiciouse and may result in a delay

The official doc as in the petition and declaration of intent to marry?

My question pertains to the same topic:

 

My Fiance and I don’t chat in English.  Please tell me I don’t have to have this stuff (email, chats) translated!

 

Or should I just leave them out?
