Hello All,
I am in process of applying for Spouse sponsorship , using ONLINE PORTAL

1. Do we have to upload all photos as one pdf ? or say 20 separate files under photos?
2. Do we need to scan and upload the back(photographer details) too for visa photos ?
3. Whatsaap chats , what's preferred method ? screenshots or text export
a. if text export ? its a long txt file , should i submit it as is converted to pdf ?​
b. if screenshots , how many would suffice ? does it have to be future planning conversations or is it okay to submit random chats.​
c. do you need a translator or can I do it on my own? did someone translated themselves and signed a letter?​
Apologies for many questions but Please try to help,

Thank you!

1- One PDF is fine
2- They're not passport style photos you don't need the back (wedding/celebrations etc back not needed)
3- No preferred method for WhatsApp. I would recommend screenshots so you can organize them in a PDF.
3.a.b Doesn't the checklist say 10 pages of proof of communication?
3.c Use an official certified translator only for everything not in English/French

The 20 photos of wedding and etc is different than the PR photo.
The PR/Passport photo yes include the back with photographer detail.
The relationship photos no.
