As I still didn't have the opportunity of living with my husband, so I have no idea how our routine will be like. So far he has been wonderful but we always get together in a hotel or resort.
Good thing I already know is that he enjoys cooking and he is organized and pratical.
Gosh we are so looking forward for the normal kind of thing like cooking together, doing grocery shopping, waking up together everyday, going out for a walk or whatever... 4 years is too long time traveling back and forth!

This is the modern age. Most men have been well domesticated and are quite comfortable with cooking and cleaning and sharing in the workload around the house. The old thinking that the housework is all woman's work is long dead. I can mop a floor as well as anyone.

Send the documentation that supports your application. Visa officers have to review everything you send them so the more you send them the longer it will take and the more questions they may have. I sent no chatlogs but added that they could be produced upon request.

After a few years, proof you haven't killed each other yet should be enough.......

My husband claims all we needed to send in was a video of an argument. He says that would prove we are real. No one else would argue about the stupid things we do. Thanks sweety......... LOL!

I would say sending over 20 images is rather obsessive.

In terms on Emails, just send no more than 5-10 dating across the time you were together.

No need to over complicate it.

For what its worth I sent no chat logs or emails but indicated that I could send them if they requested them. Having reviewed my GCMS notes that arrived yesterday there where no red flags or concern about the legitimacy of our relationship. I think its better if your application is kept lean then filling it with 500 pages of text that the VO now has to read.

Lots of great advice everyone, and hilarious!

We are applying as common law and I am getting together our emails. I have a stack an inch thick of mails before we met in person, then another inch of selected mails between us while he was at work every day from the 2+ years we've been together. He says I should drastically trim, and let them know I have a lot more if they are "interested". I thought the more the better for our relationship proof, but reading this maybe he's right?

We have lots of other relationship proof: joint bank account, electric bills, tickets from travel together, noterized letters, and more. Do you think I should greatly reduce the emails?

Thanks!

The legal stuff carries more weight than the daily chats you have. If you want to send emails or texts pick the ones that would focus on decisions you make as a couple that would reinforce what you have stated in your application. for instance if you have made a joint purchase any discussion you had about it via email/text would do 2 things 1) validate the claim that the joint venture is real 2) validate that it was based on mutual consent.

You're living together, so your burden of proof is less than a couple living apart. I had the same issue when dealing with our Yahoo IMs - it was 748 pages once I copy/pasted the whole thing into Word. Instead, we printed off 1 chat per month as a sign of ongoing communication and made notation we had (lots) more if needed. We also left out phone records for that very reason - we live together. You can give them a "sample" and that's okay. They don't need to know every conversation you've ever had, just that you maintain regular contact as a normal couple would.
