Chat Log evidence

[Morty1245 0]

Hi everybody, I was having a hard time searching for an answer in previous threads and was hoping someone could provide some advice. 
 

I want to submit chat logs as additional evidence of a bona fide relationship. Although my fiancé speaks English, about 90% of our messages are in Japanese. 
 

 If I were to submit these logs would a translation of the entire conversations be necessary? Or can I not provide a translation and merely use the chat log as evidence of communication over the period of time of our relationship?

 

Thank you!

Not needed.

 

There is no "bona fide relationship" evidence requirement for the I-129F.

 

After approval, at the interview they will request relationship evidence.  They would want to see that the relationship is ongoing up to the date of the interview.  Time spent together is more important than anything else.

I am probably going to print out a few years of chat logs to bring with to the interview because I'd rather error on the side of cation.... That said, I don't at all consider these chat logs proof of my relationship. I document every trip I take to spend time with my fiancée, saving airline tickets, and visa stamps, and pictures taken during the trip. To me this is really all the evidence I need. I did not include proof of relationship in my i-129f packet, I only included proof that we had met in person within the last two years.

Looks like I got confused because the guideline mentioned proof of meeting within the last two years and ongoing relationship. I reread through the I-129F instructions, and indeed it is only asking for proof of having met within the last two years. 
 

thank you everyone!
