When are (blank) needed? , i-129f packet or before the interview? Trying to double confirm, thanks in advance!

1. evidence of ongoing relationship : Chat logs  (I've seen people including this for the i-129f packet is it absolutely necessary? So far we have, proof of meeting 2017 and 2019, social media posts dating from 2015-2019) Reason im asking this is because it's been such a hassle to get old chat logs skype's new update deleted some history and removed the "search from (date)" that it used to have i've been needing to scroll up manually and messenger keeps crashing when i scroll up too much so i was wondering if chatlogs are absolutely necessary for i-129f packet?

2. police clearance (beneficiary) 

3. Birth certificate with translation (beneficiary)

4. Passport all pages (beneficiary and petitioner) 

5. Tax returns (petitioner)

Also is it a requirement to include photo paper pictures or is it ok to print collage of pictures on normal paper?

1: I-129F needs evidence of meeting in the last 2 years. That said, it can't hurt to put a little evidence of ongoing relationship in there, just don't go overboard with it. We sent 7 pics, plane tickets/hotel bookings and passport stamps from visiting each other/trips through Europe together, that's it. This was in 2017 and we got approved without RFE.

Make sure you take evidence of ongoing relationship to the interview (again, don't go overboard with it. No officer wants to go trough 10+ pics, chat logs etc, they just wanna see your relationship is genuine)

 

2 through 5: interview. You don't need to send all passport pages of the beneficiaries passport at any point and you only need all the pages of the USC's passport if you don't send a birth certificate. That said, we only sent my husbands (then fiancé) biometric page and pages with passport stamps and didn't get an RFE

 

Photo's on normal paper are fine. And please read the K1 - AOS - ROC guide to educate yourself more on this process and the processes that are to come after K1 is approved.
