Proof of contact translation format

[haddad287]

Hi,

For the spousal sponsership application, i have my translator translated my whatsapp conversations with 2 screenshots per page, the left half being original, and right half being translated source. Is this ok format? If I do this format, I would have 17 pages

Or does source and translation have to be on seperate pages? If so then i'll have 34 pages

When they mean 10 pages max, does it mean 10 source + 10 translated total? So my 17 page with source and translation on same page would be enough?

Fine to do the two-sided or two columns so fewer pages.

10 pages is 10 pages. Remove some or reformat.

if i do my 17 pages double-sides. I’ll get a total of 8, is that ok? Or do they want 10 max (single-sided)?

I think they mean single-sided but I do not know for certain. I doubt it's a capital offense - but always a chance they get more strict.

I'd approach from a different angle: first, quality over quantity - better to choose your best evidence than to bury them in a mountain of docs. Second, only you can decide whether the rest of your app is strong with few so-called red flags; if it's on the weaker side, more better info needed.

so that means only 5 pages of source and 5 of translation? 10 screenshots of chatting is enough? Seems low...

They say 10 max. Does that include source + translation?

You're overthinking. If you can fit ten pages of original and ten pages of translation in columns on ten pages, that's fine.

Then i'll only have total of 18 screenshots of talking? (i have a total of 27), is 18 screenshots of tallking enough? and you know they are all 1 line'ers.... is that enough

I have no idea what the content of your chats is or whether it's useful in current format or what your screenshots contain. You're just going to have to decide.

OK then if somebody else who has done recent spousal sponsership can help please? is 18 screenshots across 10 pages enough? And each page is about a day of talking in a conversation, you can't really fit more then that, as you know its WhatsApp..|

So basically I chose a day of talking spread across the last year, spaced out 1-2 months apart. is that good? Of course if I go with 10 page,s i'll lose 2-3 days of talking

Anyone?
