How much chat logs?

[Joe98 31]

Like just about everyone else it appears that the k1 visa process will take more time due to the coronavirus epidemic. My first stage initial paperwork is still waiting to be looked at in the California uscis but I’m hoping it will be checked out either in late may or early June if not sooner. As my title has mentioned, I am wondering how long should I keep printing out Facebook messenger chat logs. My fiancée and I started chatting on messenger back in February of 2019 and I have been saving all the chats since then. I seriously doubt the Manila consulate will want to see all the chats leading up to her eventual interview. But I have just over a years worth of chats printed out. Should I keep doing this or should I stop for now or what? How much, if any, will the Manila consulate want to see? I don’t know how long the process will take with international travel banned for the most part and that will probably slow parts of the k1 visa process down. I’m just wondering if I should keep saving chat logs or stop for now or what to do. I’m hoping someone will be able to give me some advice about this issue.

I highly doubt you need a year's worth of chat messages. Maybe a few conversations from each month. 

 

I probably will not include any myself. I've already visited her twice since we started talking in May of 2019. I'll be going back and accompany her and her kids when they have their interview.

A few chats a month is more than sufficient for USEM.

USEM is such an easy embassy to interview at. They don't really require much. We didn't have chat logs because we were online cam to cam, and we passed with no problems. So, just put a few together and call it a day. 

 

Also, there is a sub-forum for the Philippines here on VJ that you should be a part of. It's a good place to read what others are experiencing which will only prepare you for your interview.

I have been printing off the first and 15th of each month chats.....and not the whole chats, just the beginning where it has the date on top..

You will only need a sampling of chat logs, just a page or so each month.   Don't go overboard with this.

We were not asked for anything chat related in Manila. Most couples who go through Manila are not.

@Joe98 basically it's what you feel comfortable doing, as you can see there are varied responses as mine will be. I collected two samples a month from the beginning  and towards the each of each  month up to the interview date. That was my personal  preference as you never can be prepared enough. Remember better to have and not need than to need and not have!

We sent a screenshot from messenger for each month of the relationship.
