I use large letter size envelopes to organize all the documents. My wife loves to take picture, we had taken more than a 1000 photos with a selfie stick, for each trip that we travel together, I choose around 50 pictures to submit. Emails/Facebook messages from friends, work and family about your relationship will definitely help. I have retained almost all of our chat log since the beginning that we met, and I printed all of them out (like 500 pages). Try to print double sided and shrink the font to 8 to cut cost.

Thanks for the tips! We have tons of pictures to chose from too, but I'm glad to see some numbers coming out from people. Looks like around 20 to 50 is a good number.

I'm curious how many pages all your chat logs were after they were all printed out? I don't think I can afford the cost to print every log. haha

Has the OP's processing VO been mentioned yet? The best advice will come from those that were processed out of the same VO.

Mine is around 500 pages, double sided with font 8. I guess what you can do is to print just the odd months or the even months or once every 3 months to help cut down the cost, but that will definitely shows your ongoing communication.

I see the OP's app will be processed out of Manila. Unless you have concerns about your application, you likely can take more of a minimalist approach like we did and not worry about it.
