we sent pics (100 or so each showcasing my months of stay at a time our vacationing and wedding in the philippines over 1 year), boarding passes, passport stamps, receipts, western union logs. We don't have any phone call logs as we use everything through social media. I believe thats why they are asking. We collected it all together in word format and its almost 2500 pages long. We didn't send it originally due to its extreme length but hey..they want it. they will get it.
Is it allowed to send the file via email since it's kinda bulky?

We showed whatsapp call logs and fb video calls from messenger.

For chat logs you should take couple convos from each month and send them and state you have more if they need it

very helpful information! thank you guys so much. I don't suppose you know exactly where to send these? We are Manila VO. Do we send to ontario...or to manila? There has to be a guide somewhere about updating your file. We are going to prune the 2500 pages of text chats and take a few samples from each months and tell them more is available upon request. Then we will take pictures of our skype conversations most showing 10 hour video chats. The last step for us will be to take pictures of facebook entries such as our wedding dates and anniversaries and any little events where we got lots of friends and family replying. This should be more than adequate. Then we need to figure out where to send it !

Do you have the mailing addresses? And how do we label it so it goes to the right place and correct filing. Thanks again for all the awesome help!

The length of what we sent in was two letters and Skype call logs since 2012. That's all we sent. The call logs were 12 pages long and the letters were 4 pages long. Short and sweet :)

The benefits of being from a western visa exempt country I suppose.

Singapore is likely the toughest VO on earth so we threw everything at them. Our original app was over 11lbs and we've sent more twice.

In the notes they seem to have focused on the fact that me and my spouse are of the same age, that we both did not have any previous marriages, that we got married a year ago, and that we have a daughter together that has both our citizenships (dual). Other than that, they wrote down what we sent, such as pictures, trips together, letters and call logs.

I wasn't referring to the validity or your relationship being genuine, I was referring to the blatant fact that the threshold of proof is very low for visa exempt applicants. The bar is set much much lower. If I sent 2 letters and couple pages of call logs I'm sure my wife would instantly be thrown on the interview queue.

I'm happy you have your PR now, but there's no denying the system is completely biased towards western first world applicants from developed countries.
